Heres a slightly fuller transcript. IN REVERSE ORDER!

# 10:41am - Thank you so much for coming today and learning about our new products, they're all out in the booth, go get your hands on them. Thank you very much, see you soon.
# 10:40am - What that means is that Apple will be 30 years old this April fools day. I just wanted to point it out, thirty years making the best personal computers in the world.
# 10:40am - One last thing. You know, Apple was founded on April fools day in 1976. We thought that was funny at the time.
# 10:40am - *backpats the engineers and asks them to stand up*
# 10:39am - Plays ad: "The Intel Processor, for years, it's been trapped inside dull little boxes, performing dull little tasks. *snip* Today i twill be set free, it will get to live life inside a Mac. Imagine the possibilities.
# 10:37am - $1999 model 1.6 core duo, 667 mhz FSB, 512mb, 80gb SATA, 4x superdrive, X1600 ATI, 1.67ghz. $2499 model, 1.83ghz Core Du, 1gb, 100gb SATA. Ships in February. Taking orders today.
# 10:37am - iSight, apple remote, front row, magsafe, backlight keyboard and light sensor, scrolling trackpad, sudden motion sensor, DVI video out for a 30 inch cinema display if you want, digital optical and analog audio in/out
# 10:36am - MacBook Pro weighs 5.6lb
# 10:35am - And another great feature, the IR sensor and the apple remote. Front Row built right in to the new MacBook pro. Another really cool feature. We call this MagSafe. How many of you have ever had your notebook go flying off your work surface when someone caught the power adapter on their foot. The MagSafe connector is a new power connector that is magnetically held in, so if the cord gets yanked it just pulls right off.
# 10:33am - *demo while mwsf creams his shorts wanting a macbook pro*
# 10:32am - Also the thinnest, an inch thin, a hair thinner than the 17" powerbook. New features, 15.4 widescreen LCD. Bright as the cinema display. Built-in iSight
# 10:32am - 4-5x times faster than the Powerbook G4. Fastest mac notebook ever.
# 10:31am - A new name because we're kind of done with power and we want mac in the name of our products. Has an intel Core Duo chip in it. Dual processors in every MacBook Pro.
# 10:30am - The core duo was deisnged for this from the start, 1.05. It is 4 and a half times better than the G4. Today we are introducing a new notebook computer, called the MacBook Pro.
# 10:30am - If you take a look, at the G4 chip, you have 0.27 performance per watt. The G5 is 0.23 performance per watt. It kept us from doing what we wanted to.
# 10:29am - You know, there's been this pesky little problem on the powerbooks. It's not a secret that we've been trying to shoehorn a G5 into the powerbook. And have been unable to do so because of the power consumption. We've done everything. We've consulted everybody (shows picture of the Pope). Performance per Watt.
# 10:29am - One more thing.
# 10:27am - We are going to be transitioning our entire product line this calendar year. We will be done transitioning by the end of this calendar year. *plays ad*
# 10:26am - So, two models of the new iMac, 17" with a 1.83ghz CoreDuo. 20" model with 2.0ghz CoreDuo. These machines, 2-3 times faster in the SPEC benchmarks, and they are shipping TODAY.
# 10:25am - *shows how fast Safari is on new machines*
# 10:24am - *Launching Word and Photoshop*
# 10:23am - Steve: I would encourage all the developers to work even harder and get these apps universal. *demo on CORE DUO GOODNESS*
# 10:22am - We're marking another milestone with Apple. We're formalizing our commitment to this platform with an official agreement to ship new versions of Office for mac for a minimum of 5 years.
# 10:21am - We'll be adding sync services, finishing touches on smartcard and spotlight support. All of these updates will be available in March. We are offering customers up to 50% off of Office when you buy a new Mac.
# 10:20am - Roz Ho of Mac BU: I'm happy to say that Microsoft's MBU is on track to deliver universal binaries of office and messenger.We've worked together to make sure current versions of office run well in Rosetta.
# 10:19am - Until all apps are universal, we are shipping a technology called Rosetta, which runs most PowerPC applications completely transparently. Office is not yet universal, but it runs fabulous on Rosetta
# 10:18am - We didn't tell any developer we were releasing systems today. Because we like a good secret as much as the next person. Quark has announced next version of Quark Express is universal.
# 10:18am - Our pro apps will be universal in march. Final cut, aperture and logic pro. If you have the latest and greatest, you can trade in the disks for just $49
# 10:17am - New products released today are both completel Universal. In fact, you just saw them running on intel, because I've been using a new iMac with core duo all morning.
# 10:16am - Every iMac is now dual proprocessor. Tiger 10.4.4 is entirely native on Intel core duo. All the applications are copletely native. Everything apple is doing is what we call universal.
# 10:15am - iMac G5 2.1ghz vs. iMac Core Duo 2.0ghz. Specfp: 13.0 on G5, 27.1 on Core Duo
# 10:14am - What's different is that the new iMac with intel processor is 2-3 times faster than the iMac G5. That is because we are building in the latest technology, the new intel core duo chip. It's an amzing chip with two processors on one die, with 2mb L2 cache.
# 10:14am - iMac has gotten rave reviews. We're going to offer it in the same sizes. Same design, same features, same prices.. What's new?
# 10:12am - Today we are going to roll out the first mac with an Intel processor. So without any more fanfare, it is the iMac.

# 10:11am - "over 1000 people at Intel working on this"
# 10:10am - Well I can report to you that Apple is ready, too. We started a partnership less than a year ago to make this happen. Our teams have worked so hard together, nights weekends, to make this happen in record time.

I like the design too, but with something so new added to the system...I'd like some sort of exterior change to match up. Ya know? *shrugs

**Chemist** · 10 Jan 2006, 02:45 PM

I am pretty dissappointed... They released the Macbook Pro.. Instead of the ibook..

Its a snappy machine, its just about 1000$ over my budget..

They said the powerbook line is over, does that mean that the ibook line will continue?

Any thoughts?

**Nomi** · 10 Jan 2006, 04:02 PM

Thoughts, hm. I'm at first disappointed that they don't have a $999 or under Intel laptop as planned, and no Intel Mac mini as rumored. On the bright side, the MacBook Pro looks pretty damn awesome, it has nice specs for the price (for Apple, anyway). I'm also let down that they didn't release a new deign for the iMac. This is a big change for them, I figured some sexy new architecture would be in store for the change.

Looks like I'll be waiting for the second gen Intel machines, I guess. Like Chemist, I wanted something of the iBook price range with an Intel processor for college next year. Hopefully something will come out by the end of this fall.
