There hasn’t been any benchmarks yet, but it does seem the GPUS are far superior, however strange thing is that the most top GPU those macs have to offer is still 128 bit instead of 256 bit :> makes the 1 gig of vram quite useless
well, blandon You are absolutely right.
Even worse!
the GPU was better in the Previous version!
Nvidia > Intel
The prices seem to be a lot higher than last generation’s models were (please, correct me if i’m wrong), and there dont seem to be any major upgrades, like SSD memory, that last gen users would want to upgrade to.
The $1199 mbp is a joke! A 320 HD? are you serious?
Uhh…DISAPPOINTED

I am shocked there is no SSD by default. The result is that anyone visiting a store and using the MacBook Air will find that machine faster for 95% of tasks, and they’ll buy the Air instead. Strange move by Apple.
