I currently have a macbook pro, but am still in the 2 week limit to return it.

Thanks anyone who responds!]]>May 18th 2006 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/May 18th 2006 3:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/May 18th 2006 3:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/May 18th 2006 3:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/

I understand the main differences is just the lit keyboard, the built in dvi, and the GRAPHICS which is what im concerned about when running final cut. ]]>May 18th 2006 6:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/May 18th 2006 6:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/
the debate about integrated vs dedicated gfx are completely blown out of proportion by ignorant people in just about every forum discussing the macbook.

the integrated graphics are fine. the chip supports core image et al.

it's only relevant to have a dedicated chip if you want to run games and/or motion. i'd check the minimum display resolution requirements, though, but that's a separate issue.]]>May 18th 2006 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Image

anyway, the 950 supports it.]]>May 18th 2006 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/ i'd check the minimum display resolution requirements, though, but that's a separate issue.

Resolution shouldn't be a problem, I run FCP on a Powerbook 12'', which has only 1024x768.]]>May 18th 2006 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/
Problems (Dvorak shameless promotion part 2):
There is a video issue that has showed up. The redraw of the Apple application windows and navigation bar have an issue AFTER the MacBook wakes up. I LIKE the video chipset and have NOT had a problem with it in the last couple days until now. Check out the screen shots that show the problem. I'm thinking twice about the video chipset qualities.

Negative, you wont be able to upgrade the gfx on the macbook. If you want a macbook with dedicated graphics obviously check out the macbook pro or, if you dont mind XP, check out the Asus offerings.

Since Asus manufactured powerbooks and the like, the quality is top notch or you can get a thinkpad which has even better quality.

Toodles,

Will

You other guys who still won't stop going on about the graphics card: Please shut up and get a life. This is a consumer notebook. Buy a pro model if you want fancy 3D.]]>May 18th 2006 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/May 18th 2006 1:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/
Can someone confirm this?

The optical drives in the MacBook and in the 15" MacBook Pro are the newer, thinner ultra-slim slot-load drives (which don't support DL burning yet).

The Mac mini, 17" MacBook Pro, PowerBooks (G4) and iBooks (G4) all use the older, thicker slim slod-load drives (which support DL burning).]]>May 18th 2006 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/May 18th 2006 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/May 18th 2006 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/May 18th 2006 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/18/macbook-innards-exposed/
