Mac PowerBook Is Dead. Long Live “MacBook Pro.”

Apple surprised the crowd by introducing two new Macs with Intel chips inside. The iMac and a new laptop called the MacBook Pro.

The PowerBook is dead. MacBook Pro is rated at four times to five times faster than the previous PowerBooks, but not so cheap. Starting at $1,999, the MacBook may wow the user with speed, but is purely pro on price.

The specifications are impressive. MacBook Pro is powered by a new dual-core Intel chip. Four times the speed of the PowerBook G4 and eight times the graphics bandwidth.
