MacBook Pro

(uh - Mr. Jobs - the name, the name couldn't it have a little 'i' somwhere in it or something? or Powerbook Duo - oh wait that's been taken :-))

My notes on the subject:

Fast bus
Dual processor but with a challenged name Core Duo (heh)
1/2 gig memory on lower end - feh, but it's adequate.
NO 800 firewire - argh! (oh, Mr. Jobs, the PPC Aluminium has an 800 port)
Magsafe power adapt - now how did they know I needed that }smash!{(grin)
Bluetooth! yes! can use a wireless mouse with my laptop!
Whew - has 1G ethernet - good
Keyboard the same cool lighted design
Display can mirror or dual display (whew thats still there)
Doesn't come with Appleworks (but the Al powerbooks didn't either)
Built in camera, so if someone steals the laptop, they might accidently take a picture of themselves and... oh never mind
No modem (yeah, OK expected, no surprise)
All USB ports 2.0 - yo!
