I do not think that this move to Intel chips is the right way to go, or that it has been done correctly.
If the new Apple computers were cheaper, then fine, but the prices on the new units are not particularly any less expensive.
Intel are not a very customer friendly supplier, letting the buyer sort out any problems with its processors, and speaking to people who have used new Intel powered Apples (was in Apple dealer on Saturday) they did not have anything complimentary to say about the new machines.
Thank God my 17" PowerBook G4 will satisfy my computing needs for a few years yet - just wish the battery lasted longer!
