It benchmarked slightly slower than we hoped and it runs slow on some of the non-Intel apps like Photoshop. But overall I think it runs fine as long as you're not doing heavy duty editing or gaming.
Hi Tom congrats on the new podcast your doing such a wonderful job. I'm a BOL listener and i was happy to hear that you have a podcast of your own. My question i've been wanting a laptop for the longest but i decided i should try for a Macbook. What i want to know is what specs to look for. In the episode 7 podcast Molly or you i don't remember who it was said that the Macbook is slow. Is it slower than a pc laptop? I wouldn't be doing anything major but i'd like to try out the programs that are on the Mac like blogging, podcasts and garage band just to name a few. Thanks in advance.
P. S. This would be my first Mac
