Yes, it's the one I've been waiting for. It's the first Intel-powered notebook from Apple Computer, and it's the MacBook Pro. Deviating from the long-standing PowerBook and iBook lines, this has been made to commemorate Apple's first Intel-based notebook. As expected, it uses the new Core Duo processor (Yonah). It runs at 1.86GHz, and features up to 2-gigabytes of RAM, buil-tin iSight, FrontRow, IEEE 1394, Bluetooth 2.0, AirPort Extreme, ATi Mobility Radeon with up to 256-megabytes of RAM, up to 100-GB of hard disk space, dual-layer DVD burner, and at last, the 15.4" 1440x900 display. It starts at $2,000. It'll run Windows.

It will run both, since it uses the x86 platform. Mac OS X has been rewritten to run on the x86 platform. But the previous versions won't work, since they use the PowerPC platform.

Well, in terms of reliability, I guess they're okay. I like the Apple notebooks more for their minimalist design, like the PowerBook and MacBook Pro. But in terms of reliability, IBM is the best, the choice computer of NASA, and the only computer ever used on the space station.

No, it's cuz their notebooks are durable. NASA chooses stuff based on how reliable it is, not how big the company is. For instance, Rolex is more popular than Omega, but NASA chose the Omega Speedmaster Professional Chronometre for use as the official moon watch cuz it survived the rigorous tests.
