Faster than a MacPro!
August 11th, 2009
The actual MacBook Pro 2×2.8Ghz is on average as fast as the first MacPro 4×2.66Ghz, and faster on Photoshop tasks, as stated by MacWorld SpeedMark benchmark!
Yesterday night I just finished Lightroom 2 transition, iTunes migration, I put music and photos on their own partition to have a small boot partition at the beginning of the 500GB hard-drive. I modified LightRoom 2’s infos to launch in 64-bits mode instead default 32-bit. And finally calibrate the screen using Spyder 2 Express. Better rendering.
One dawback with the gorgeous screen on the 17″ is that background pictures doesn’t cope with it’s 1920×1200 resolutions and every jagged part or compression block is too visible, so do your background image by yourself
