I just received my new Macbook Pro -- upgrading from my trusty iMac G5 1.8 (First Gen) and I have to say WOW!!!!

This thing is fast.

Boot up almost twice as fast.

I launch Safari, Mail, iCal, Address Book, and iTunes at launch.

The iMac would choke on this a little bit -- however the Macbook flies through it -- barely have time to watch each bounce in the dock.
