Mac Book Pros are ok.. they are using the older Duo Core and not the Core 2 Duo which are substantially much(not even on the same planet type of better). Intel really killed AMD on this one, AMD is now playing catch-up in terms of performance but what do I care, I'm just a poor medical student with processor speeds of less than 2 Ghz.
