    I have a good feeling that the new MacBook Pro will also come with a 8800M soon, as *Essentially* the aluminum iMacs are basically like laptops. What do you all think ?? God Bless :)

    There are plenty of people who use the iMac, for many reasons. The Form factor is a big one, along with Final Cut pro. This is big for those people, they "care".

    Macs are Good for everything else other than Gaming.

    the reason is not Specs but that not many Games are made for mac.

    CS is still not there on Macs.

    But yes, if they come with 8800

    i am willing to give them a try.

    For all the Mac haters out there, let us not forget that it has been proven in tests that MACs actually run Windows faster than PC's. God Bless :)

    You do realize that Macs use the same hardware as PCs right?

    macs DO NOT run windows faster than PCs. they run windows EXACTLY the same speed as any other pc does. do not say anything otherwise.

    there is no cake. the cake is a lie.

    What About Professional CAD Software? Business Applications?

    So Far It's Computer That Is Werse Than PC, Because It Can Run Less Software, But Costs More.

    O/K I Give You Points When It Comes To Looking Prettier On The Outside. (Even Though Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder)

    Just Admit It Besides Being Prettier(To Some) It's Werse Than PC.

    The fact that macs have an incredibly stable operating system, intuitive Gui's, and extremely optimized code helps defeat your argument. And besides, this post was not to argue that macs are better than pc's, it just simply said that the 8800m gs was in the imacs.
