MacBook Pro (aluminium 2008 edition)
Comments:
The MacBook Pro -- for so long the final word in high-end multimedia laptops -- is back. It now sports a new aluminium chassis and twin graphics cards, and promises significantly better performance than its predecessors. While we certainly like its looks,

Comments:
In Part II of our two-part investigation of the new MacBook Pro, we examine how Apple's new notebook performs as a Windows and Mac gaming machine. We also investigate overall performance and battery life.
Review Verdict: It's evident that this MacBook Pro is not that much faster than its predecessor as far as the CPU goes. In our testing using GeekBench, the 2.53GHz, late 2008 model was only about 2.5% faster than the previous model. For any real performance gain in this
