So I just got back from vacationing in a cave apparently because I had heard nothing about the new MacBook Pros coming out! I was a bit torn between trying to decide between an iMac with the i7 processors or a now older MacBook Pro. Now the 15 and 17 inch MBP’s come with either a Core i5 or i7 processor, guess that makes that decision easy for me… Plus, one of the coolest things I’ve read is the graphics switching per application. With the older MBP’s you’d have to choose either the on-board graphics or the actual graphics card, depending on what you thought you’d be doing. the on-board graphics obviously using much less power and therefore getting better battery life, but if say you knew you were going to be doing a lot of editing or something else more graphics intensive, the on-board graphics wouldn’t cut it, so you’d opt for the graphics card. Well now, I guess there’s built in magic that knows what the graphics needs are per application and can switch from the less powerful to the more powerful graphics processor depending on what application you’re running. So go from surfing the web to working on a 1000 RAW files in Aperture per say, the GPU would be swapped without having to re-boot, how cool is that! This will definitely be my next main computer. Check them out here!
