It's black, how could it look like a Macbook Pro, which is aluminum?

How could you say these two are the same computer?

amazing how my c2d 667 mbp is not far behind on anything in xbench.

i dont know why people use xbench anyways, this should yet again prove its inconsistant.



as for is that a black macbook, i dont think it is, i just think the light is playing tricks, anyways who cares.

as for cinebench, my mbp...


while it is a very quiet laptop, the fans had to of kicked on when you were running that cpu 100%!

Yes, I'm well aware of what a black Macbook looks like, seeing as how I have one

My point is that the OP is linking to his own review. I'm just trying to help the guy out. You wouldn't want to confuse his readers or make him look silly by posting the wrong product.

I think it's just odd lighting that makes the aluminum look really dark.

The bottom edge looks to shiny to be a blackbook IMO

Good review. My only criticism would be on the follow statements:

A big improvement for this generation of the MacBook Pro over the last is the introduction of the LED back-lit screen.

This is an excellent upgrade to the MacBook Pro

Since this is your first MBP, a reader may find these statements incredulous. Some benchmarking numbers from the previous MBP would help give credibility to the upgrade statement; though you did link to the old MBP review.

I'm also confused about why the overall review was with T7500 CPU, but some of the benchmark comparisons were numbers from the T7700. It could mislead some.

Overall, a good review. Thanks for sharing.


No offense Kash, but I think the first pic is an MBP too.

The benchmarks from the higher end Macbook Pro we're added in at the last second, they were literally just finally being benchmarked at all. The site admin adding them, not myself, but he did state that they we're being done on the upgraded model.

As far as my points be incredulous, I can agree there somewhat, first timer here and all.
