No whine here; after the firewire noise I experienced on my G5 (did you even TEST that, Apple?), this is a major improvement.

Too f'ing hot.

Screen == gorgeous, though the edge discoloration from some angles it disappointing. But hey, Frodo's usually in the center of the screen, right?

For all the claims of superlative performance, I still see PUH-LENTY of my good friend the beachball. Of course, I'm often running two command line builds, XCode, Mail, Safari, FileMaker, Remote Desktop Connection (yes, I _could_ run WinXP on the MBPro, but why waste the drive space and sully the experience?), BBEdit, Perforce visual client, OmniOutliner (kinklessGTD rocks!), and maybe a couple others as need arises.

Still, the performance is perceptibly better than my G5 2 x 2.0 Ghz 3gig ram machine.

I attribute my success to intelligence, guts, determination, honesty, ambition, and having enough money to buy people with those qualities.
