Its somewhat faster. Not a big deal to be excited about. And Apple still isn't ready to come with its own answer to Microsoft Office. iWeb? Hardly earth-shattering in the age of Frontpage and Linux open source web page editors. There's no compelling reason to upgrade from the PowerPC processor.

I'm going to jump in with both feet and get a MacBook. Someone has to be an early adoptor or the early adoptors will become extinct.
Interesting take on it this morning in the fish wrapper:
PC people will pirate OS X and run it on their cheaper laptops.
Why didn't I think of that?

Apple up to 83.92 this morning!

Despite the major change under the hood, the iMac remains with the same design and at the same price as before, with systems starting at $1,299. Hear that Mac users? Jobs is sticking it to you! He is saving money on processors and he isn't giving you a break with the price. I'm sure chipzilla is able to make more of these chips at a lower cost than what they had before and Jobs is keeping the profits...
