MacWorld Expo San Francisco 2006:
New Mac Product Developments, including the new Intel Macs

We hope to have one of the new Intel powered Macs at the meeting.
	New engine, same soul This is the first Mac notebook built upon the revolutionary new Intel Core Duo — which is actually two processors (up to 1.83GHz) engineered onto a single chip. It provides 2MB of Smart Cache, L2 cache that can be shared between both cores as needed. It delivers higher performance in 2D and 3D graphics, video editing, and music encoding. And the new engine is only part of the story. MacBook Pro has a frontside bus and memory that, at 667MHz, runs faster than any previous Mac notebook. It’s the first Mac notebook with PCI Express, a Serial ATA hard drive and the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 for superfast graphics performance.
	Power has never been this much fun No computer on earth makes it as easy to work with digital photos, movies, music and the web as iMac. And now it all happens with blazing speed — powered by the revolutionary Intel Core Duo. With two processors built onto a single chip, this new Intel engine kicks iMac performance up to a whole new level. Coupled with the new ATI Radeon X1600 graphics processor and the world’s most advanced operating system, Mac OS X, iMac will run all your software, fast.
And, there are more new Apple products:
The new Macs won't run OS 9, so it's time for everybody who hasn't already done so, to migrate to OS X. In addition to answering your questions about OS X, we're going to discuss some OS X features: widgets, along with whether and how to disable them using Spotlight, including how to search server volumes the "smart folder" "smart groups" in Mail all the benefits of .Mac difference between "Bonjour" and "Rendezvous" how to use Automator

As always, from 6:30 till 7:00, the meeting will feature Q&A - an opportunity to get all your Mac questions answered.
