Crysis: Running on 13" Macbook Pro

What’s up guys. Byron here once again to show you what the 13” Macbook Pro can do. In this video I decided to test out the Nvidia 9400M graphic’s card of the Macbook Pro. The game I that you will see running ont the Macbook Pro is Crysis. This game runs very smooth and the graphic’s are a lot better than I expected. As you will notice I do have the program F.R.A.P.S. running in the top left corner as requested by one of my viewers. I hope you guys enjoy the video and leave a comment or pm with any questions.

Is unibody worth the upgrade?

Apple made a splash recently updating their entire notebook line with the unibody enclosure, crafting entire laptops out of a single piece of aluminium. The upgrade is noticeable offering better heat distribution, a more durable body, and a slimmer profile. Of course the unibody is an improvement over previous enclosures, but is upgrading to a new machine, for this design improvement, worth the price?

In short, I don't believe it is. I have the previous generation macbook pro and I would not upgrade to a new machine at this time. Why? The cost is too great and the gains too small to justify the upgrade. But this puts new consumers in a pickle; buy a new machine or save some money and buy the previous generation. If cost is no issue of course go for the new design but if you are on a budget the savings is more valuable than the small performance gains. In fact, if you are looking at a macbook you may be able to purchase a more powerful, previous generation, macbook pro for around the same price. If you are on the fence I suggest checking out the video embedded bellow. It compares the two machines, in detail, in glorious HD.

Yet Another Graphics Card Problem For Apple

OK guys sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, but I got some pretty bad news for all owners of the new 17in MacBook Pro. Engadget reports that the fans on the machine may cause your graphics card to produce glitches of some sorts. Engadget also reports that Apple and Nvidia are working on a solution. But I can't help thinking lately Apple has been having a lot of "glitches" and "issues" with a lot of there products

Thanks
