“The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year is a Mac,” PC World reports.
“Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year–or for that matter, ever–is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware,” PC World reports.
MacDailyNews Note: “An Alienware” is a Dell.
PC World continues, “The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro’s PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway’s E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook’s score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn’t care less whether you run Windows.”

Where are today’s new MacBooks?
As Jobs said, Apple doesn’t built crap. By the way, it must make those PC/Windows fanboys really pissed to know that the fastest laptop for their crap software is a Mac.
Well thats good to know cause I just bought the devil’s business to put it on my new macbook pro. I didn’t want to but I gotta learn how to service it for others. *sigh* Oh well I got it for only $9 anyway. Great education deal huh? If I had to pay full price I wouldn’t have done it.
I just sent that link to my PC centric friends. Waiting to see what they say…
I LOVE my 15″ 2.4Ghz MBP!
Even better with a 7200rpm 200GB hard drive and 4GB RAM!
It’s THE BEST Mac I’ve ever owned and that includes 6 different PowerBooks!
Gee, I wonder if I can do “real work” on it without WinDOS? I can’t imagine a day without PowerPoint!
That’s what all the PeeSea dweebs tells us about Macs? Isn’t it?
In a few weeks, EVERYONE in my extended family will have Macs. The last PeeSea will have bit the dust… and a Dell at that! Hah!

Try Keynote, you will absolutely blow people away!!!!
Because of Windows Vista, all PC makers who rely on it have essentially given up on making great hardware. If the best they can hope for is to sell hardware that runs Windows Vista, why bother…? What’s the point of designing really fast hardware, only to get bogged down by trying to run Windows Vista? Five years from now, it will be clear what a great thing Windows Vista was to Apple’s Mac fortunes.
Does anyone make a 5.25 floppy disc drive for the Mac? I would like to run my copy of MS DOS 6.0.
It would be better if they showed exactly what they were comparing it to. After all, if they haven’t reviewed any top-of-the-line Windows notebooks, it’s not a fair comparison to use a MacBook Pro. Especially since the X7900 should be notably faster, and that isn’t available in the MBP yet (granted it’s only been out like a month and a bit). Even the T7800 should beat it thought, and that came out at the same time as the T7700.
But which Vista? Which of the several versions?
Anyway, the idea of hobbling the world’s best hardware with the world’s worst OS is… beyond words. It’s like pulling a manure-filled oxcart with a Lexus.
well said turned

Or worse, and perhaps more applicable, hauling manure in said Lexus.
No surprise here. The Macbook Pro top of the line or superior in every detail. There’s nothing better on the market.
“Or worse, and perhaps more applicable, hauling manure in said Lexus.”
Lexus = Pretty Toyota. Same manure, different badge.
yeah BMW or Ferrari works better for me….Lexus is just a Toyota with bling.
Fine, hauling manure in a Beemer or a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. Is that better?
Microsoft is like a slutty stableman’s daughter because all the horsemen knew ‘er.
Clevo D901c – dual 7950 gtx with a quad intel core proc will own any laptop on the market. period.
pc world just fails
