Q. What Intel DuoCore Laptop runs XP faster?

A. Apple MacBook Pro!

According to GearLog, the MacBook Pro's score for Photoshop performance beats every currently shipping PC laptop running on the identical Intel DuoCore chip (only an Acer came close) from PC Magazine's testing.

What's particularly interesting about this is that the MacBook Pro doesn't even have video drivers in Windows yet. Apple was always serious about building the best computers in the world. This is just evidence that it applies to hardware as well as software.
