    Are you developing on a Mac?

      I know that there is a lot of developers out in the community working on Mac's.

      If any of you have started to use the new Intel based MB/MBP i would really like some reports on what your feeling is (both regarding the box and performance)?

      regards,

      /L - thinking of an MB 2.0 2GB, still unsure if adding a 7200 hd

          i am using an ibook g4 1.2 with 512mb. sluggish. memory is the big bottleneck for me. i go to vi instead of eclipse.

            Hi!

            Now I'm been using my Macbook 2.0 Ghz for 2 month and it is absolutly the best thing I've ever had. With the Intel processor everything has just top performance, including Eclipse.

            I do recommend it for developing!

              No MBP (yet), but an imac (2 GB RAM, Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz). It's a bargain for the performance you get, plus the ease of use plus you've got a nice BSD under the hood.

              Now that MBPs are available with Core 2 Duos they should yield a perfect price/performance ratio (especially if considering they offer the better processor with double RAM for the same price as the old one).
