Under what sort of conditions, John? Let me know and I'll be happy to check it out. Are you talking about audio recording/playback? lots or few tracks? midi input latency?
I'll run the AdamJay test with and without the FF400 and post, too.
cheers

Great news! I'm still perfectly happy with my lowly MacBook, but it's nice to see that the new MBPs continue to raise the bar.

Yup! And I'll bloody go back if MBP Core2Duo + OSX + Live 6 + Firewire/FF400 isn't as rock-solid as Tibook 500 + OS9 + Live 4 + PCMCIA/Multiface...
Hoping for amazing things....

I would have no issues buying a Mac Refurb. You get full warrenty, and in many cases they are pretty much brand new. Awesome deals on the refurb Core Duo MacBook Pro's right now.

Anyone been able to test the Core2Duos and see how these new shiny things work and how fast they are?
