After all the rumours, here they are. The "Intel Inside" MacBook Pro & the new iMac. Powered by a dual-core Intel engine. Up to four times the speed of the PowerBook G4, and twice the speed of the old iMac. Eight times the graphics bandwidth. With built-in iSight for instant video conferencing on the move. Includes Front Row with Apple Remote. Any good? Time will tell... Steve Jobs gave Macworld Expo 2006 plenty to get excited about in the early part of his keynote, unveiling fresh editions of iLife and iWork, Apple's personal media and productivity suites, respectively. Among other advances, iPhoto introduces photocasting, an RSS publish/subscribe photo album for .Mac subscribers. A new iLife application, iWeb, creates Web sites and blogs using pre-set Apple templates; those who prefer a bit more freedom and creativity can use iWork's Pages instead, which also incorporates 3D charts and tables with calculation. The big news, without a doubt, is the early delivery of Intel-based Macs. It's not really early--it was a given (at least I considered it so) that Apple would roll out x86 Macs at Macworld Expo, and the commitment of Steve Jobs to the keynote on December 1 '05 confirmed this in my mind. What I didn't expect is that Apple would start the PowerPC-to-Intel transition with two products that I consdier to be in its commercial lineup. I figured the pure consumer push would come first. My choice for Apple's second-in-line Intel Mac, iMac, came first. Apple's all-in-one, computer inside a display desktop, in familiar 17 and 20-inch models, will get rolled out with Intel guts, with no other changes in form factor, price or functionality.
