    google?

    Most mac/tech sites now have a review up on one or both of these machines.
    eg gizmodo, macworld, engadget etc etc.

    Not to mention the excellent user reviews here on nbr, and the number of 1st impressions popping up everyday

    I would like a review that clearly mentions the 3DMark06 score. Right now there are some conflicting answers regarding that score from some forum members (also depending on what resolution is used when running the program).

    I know the old MacBook Pro scored around 4000-4500 in 3DMark06. And the old MacBook around 600.

    Specifically, direct comparisons between the old MBP 2.4 GHz 8600M GT 256 MB VRAM, and the new MBP 2.4 GHz with 9600M GT 256 VRAM would be wishful. Then we would get a more straight answer to how much faster the new generation is.
