It's about time that Apple add the iSight camera to a Cinema Display! It's more expensive than the Dell 24" UltraSharp 2408WFP with its landscape to portrait pivot feature, higher contrast ratio, and faster pixel response, but I think the new Apple 24" Cinema's LED-backlit screen, aluminum and glass enclosure, integrated iSight camera, and MagSafe charger make it worth the extra $$$. PSSST - REGARDING THE NEW APPLE LED 24" CINEMA DISPLAY. MacWorld Labs posted a comparison of various models of "late 2008" MacBook Pro running in both GPU modes versus various models of MacBook "late 2008." Presently we only have the 2.8GHz MacBook Pro in our lab. We will follow-up with some QuickTime Encode/Decode and Core Image tests in the near future to see how the two modes compare in that milieu.
Though the 9400M is much faster than the integrated Intel GMA X3100 used in the previous generation MacBooks, it's no match for the 9600M GT. The above results are also useful if you are trying to decide between the MacBook with the integrated GeForce 9400M (only) and the MacBook Pro with the "available" stand-alone GeForce 9600M GT. It seems the only reason to enable the 9400M is if you are trying to stretch battery life. It requires you to logout after switching.Īs you can see, in the case of OpenGL 3D accelerated games, the 9600M GT stand-alone GPU in the "late 2008" 15" 2.8GHz MacBook Pro is 121% to 286% faster than the integrated 9400M.
9600M mode = Energy Saver set to "Higher Performance" on MacBook Pro 2.8GHzĩ400M mode = Energy Saver set to "Better Battery Life" on the MacBook Pro 2.8GHz
