“Apple recently announced that its first Intel-based laptop will arrive in February 2006. The 15.4-inch wide-screen MacBook Pro includes a Centrino Core Duo chipset that Apple claims will be four to five times faster than those in existing iBooks and PowerBooks. But so far, Apple has made no claims on the MacBook Pro’s battery life. Though Intel says its dual-core processors consume less power than the prior generation of single cores, we’re curious to see how long the laptop will run unplugged from the wall socket. Physically, the MacBook Pro resembles the 15-inch PowerBook, though the former includes a built-in iSight camera, an ExpressCard slot, and an Apple Remote for navigating the company’s Front Row media software.” -writes CNET.
