Ye, such a solid machine it was an easy choice for my work machine. The older Macbook pro is 1.83ghz CoreDuo, must be over 3 years old but to be honest I don't notice much of a performance difference with the new one :huh: which I guess is a bit of a worry.

Worry is a bit unnecessary these days. I currently have a Toshiba on a Core Duo which I've had for about 3 years also; I'm trying to get rid of the bugger but it holds up very well. I'm kind of embarrassed but it packs a punch against my Wing Fortress. Buy for what you need and don't worry.

If you don't mind me asking what sort of work do you on your Macbook Pro?

True, luckily it still looks good when I take it out :p

Well, my job is mostly as a Windows tech/network admin. So I'm either in Vista (for exchange, visual studio and server admin tools) or using Remote Desktop most of the day. But I also do web site coding (Coda) and marketing stuff (Photoshop). Not done any video editing for a while but I expect that's where I'll see the biggest difference.

Unless you're doing something really intensive you won't really notice a difference. I had the same one (the 1.83ghz first gen) and it's not that much slower than my new one (in my sig)

i'm going to take a wild guess and say it's attached to the macbook (otherwise im sure he would have included the mac pro in the picture ;))

Full marks rudy! lol. I wish it was connected to a Mac Pro, but it's connected to the white MacBook which I love anyway, two and a half years old and still fast and bang up too date compared to a lot of machines xD

How's that MBA working out for yah?

I love it, great deal on the refrub ones at the Apple Store. Haven't had a problem with it in the 2 months I have had. Great quality machine and I love the "Wows" I get when I go onsite and clients see how small it is.

Works perfect for my remote sessions, web browsing and light work. Took about 8 hours to encode a 2 hour movie the other day though :)

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
