I'm slowly integrating the new Macbook Pro into the workflow (thanks
Chris!). Logic 8 runs great on it. 4GB RAM, 512 graphics RAM, 250GB HD,
2 firewire and three USB2 ports, expansion port, HiDef LED-lit display
and OSX 10.5.
Right now I'm using it to animate and edit a 20 minute video project
using a variety of 2D and 2D software and FCP. Haven't done any head to
head tests against the dual G5 yet but it feels a bit faster, and on a
quick, non-scientific 3D rendering test it was about 10-15% faster,
although the G5 was also running more other stuff at the time.
As far as OSX 10.5, pretty cool so far. I'm glad Apple finally got
around to supporting multiple desktops, I've been missing that since BeOS...
So my preliminary conclusions are that the MBP is a nice laptop, and the
G5 still does pretty well for an old timer. Nice to have a couple of
boxes to divide the work.
Next week I'll tackle installing all the Native Instruments stuff onto
the MBP.
Cheers,
-Jamie
