AppleInsider | Apple unveils 17-inch MacBook Pro with 8-hour battery.
Or, more appropriately titled: Apple flips the bird to the concept of a ‘netbook’.
Apple’s new laptop:
Is 3 times heavier than the average netbook.
Has 3.75 times more pixels onscreen than a netbook.
Has 3.5 times the CPU of a netbook (single 1.6GHz Atom vs. Dual 2.93GHz)
Has a screen that’s almost 2 times larger than an 8.9″ netbook.
Has 4 times as much RAM as a netbook.
Has 2 times as much disk space as a netbook.
Lasts the same amount of time on battery as a 6-cell netbook. (i.e. Acer Aspire One)
Oh, and did I mention that it costs about EIGHT TIMES as much as an average netbook?
