eh, yeah, although integrated graphics in a mac mini wouldn't be the end of the world. Celeron I definatly don't want to see, and I don't thikn we will - but thats just me hoping again.

I for one am extrememly excited, because my next mac will be a powerbook or iBook for college in a little over a year - right when we'll be seeing the Pentium M Mac laptops! Until then, my 1.25ghz loaded G4 tower is gonna have to do me.

The practice Mac has integrated graphics and it supports Quartz Extreme.  It won't be the death of Apple in iBooks, eMacs, and Mac minis (they are the cheaper Macs and can probably use integrated graphics to the advantage price wise). 

That is the practice Mac though and the final product could be better than practice.

But what is a development box if it isn't practice for the real Mactel?

So does this mean that everytime we see a Mac ad on tv, we'll also hear the "Intel Inside" chime?

ick.

The reason why the development Macintel has integrated graphics is mostly because the drivers for video cards are kind of lacking right now...

ick indeed - make that 3 things I don't want.

An intel inside sticker would make 4.

What's wrong with the Celeron?

If Apple had mobile G4 or G5 chips performing as well as the current Celeron M, we wouldn't even be talking about a switch to Intel in the first place.

I doubt it. Unless Apple decides that OSX for Intel will be built around Windows 95/98 technology and the new motherboards will be using ISA expansion cards.

Hi, welcome to 1994. 

It is possible to to get your head out of your ass.  Try reading about computers instead of using apple fanboy sites as your source for tech information.

The name, for one thing.

QFE.

I really hope integrated graphics don't get incorporated into iBooks. My iBook has a 9200 for a reason...it puts it ahead of the competition. Even though a 9200 isn't much these days...Intel IGP is far, far less.

Maybe the reason why when he demoed Dashboard, the widgets were already on the dashboard...so as to not show the absence of the familiar ripple effect that might cause a little suspicion in the crowd for the announcement later.
(My god that was a runon sentence...haha)

...Yep, you're right. I stand corrected. -_-

Perhaps he's using another video card? Hmm...
