MacBook Pro Reviewed 336
phaedo00 writes "Ars Technica has an in-depth review of the MacBook Pro that compares performance with a Dell Inspiron running a hacked version of OS X 10.4.4: 'Yes, you read that right. We at the Orbiting HQ were able to have some benchmarks run on an acquaintance's Dell Inspiron 9100 with a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 HT chip running OS X 10.4.4, and decided that including the benchmarks from this machine would prove to be both interesting if not illustrative of what non-Apple x86 machines may be capable of if they could run Mac OS X (legally). Please keep in mind that the data from the Dell laptop is for illustrative purposes only and that no one at the Ars Orbiting HQ hacked a machine. As David Letterman says, this is not a competition. No wagering.'"

Give the man a kewpie doll, he has hit a 10 on the lameosity meter. This ranks up there with the claim that you can't format floppies in the background on the Mac. Multitasking in OS X is smoother and more capable than what I get on my XP box and second, you can buy any industry standard USB multibutton mouse and it works just fine in OS X and with all applications. This has not been an issue for many years. It is also worth noting that the screwups I experience are on my PC rather than my Mac.

Don't be silly. I just tried formatting a floppy disk in the background on my brand new MacBook Pro, and it simply didn't work. I then tried formatting one in the foreground. Still no luck!

I suppose it might help if I actually had a floppy disk drive connected to it...
