–In fact, it’s the reviewer’s first Mac review. So how did it go? Well, to start with, the “screen is without a doubt the best I’ve ever seen on a laptop, and better than a lot of desktop monitors I use,” says the reviewer. The MBP also came away with “impressive scores” whether running OS X or 32-bit Vista via Boot Camp. The new nVidia GPU smoked the old ATI X1600-based MBP by a factor of three in 3DMark06 tests — well above the 57% increase claimed by Apple. Unfortunately, the review did not go head-to-head with same-spec’d Santa Rosa models from say IBM or Dell to see how Apple’s tweaks to the gear compare. The case remained “mostly cool” throughout use although it did pickup a “good bit of warmth” while benchmarking. Still it was not enough to remove the MBP from the reviewer’s lap with average temps for the CPU cores kicking right around 49-degrees centigrade.
