| ->> Didn't notice an Express 34 slot. Glad I went to the Pro version. I'm using a verizon (Novatel 640) evdo card in the ex34 slot and it works well. Sitting here with the box on my lap and the box gets hot it seems |

->> I'm glad they finally got the Core 2 Duo processor in the MacBook. That should keep the heat down some AND speed up the little buggers (and increase battery life too...).
I just wish the graphics card/memory was a better setup...

->> I'm considering a new iMac with the Core 2 Duo, but I want to know when an Mac/Intel-native Photoshop version will be released.
Anybody have any ideas?
What about other photo software, like Photo Mechanic, etc.? |

| ->> David, the MacIntel-native version of Photoshop will not be out until sometime in 2007. probably around the end of the first quarter. Adobe has said they will not be rushed on this. But I've been using MacBook Core Duo since May, and have no problems with performance. One reason being is that I've been using Lightroom for 80-85% of my photo editing work, which IS available as a Universal Binary (so that the software runs on Intel chip at native speeds). Also Photo Mechanic is available as a Universal Binary, and it just flies, but it has no editing capabilities. |
