Brian May, the guitarist of the legendary rock group Queen, recently got a MacBook Pro for his audio work, upgrading from his G4 laptop. Brian argues about some software problems (e.g. not getting a low battery warning from the system anymore) and the fact that the laptop runs very hot.

The only problem I sort of agree with it the Heat issue. The Background color thing is wrong. I just tried it on a Core Duo MINI and it works and does not spin any beach-ball. The power adapter being so heavy it hurts his back made me laugh out loud. I take my heavy old IBM Think-pad in a case on Network Service calls with all kinds of adapters, switches and tools in my laptop bag and it's Heavy and my back does not hurt and I have health issues too. my 10LB cat could carry that AC Adapter without pain. Sorry, I think he is blowing a LOT of it way out of proportion.
Also I have compaired in many tests and in Universal applications the speed of an iBook G4 and Macbook and Intel Core Duo mini and the Intel Macs are way faster. Only time they are slower is with Adobe applications.
