It's unanimous. Bloggers hate 'MacBook Pro'

For all the excitement surrounding Apple Computer's first Intel-based computers, which CEO Steve Jobs announced Tuesday at Macworld 2006, there's been a surprising amount of attention focused on analyzing the name of the newest line of laptops, the MacBook Pro.

Jobs highlighted two versions of the new line, which sport 1.67GHz and 1.83GHz Intel processors and will be released in February. Jobs called them the fastest Mac notebooks ever, no doubt music to the audience's ears. But the name of the new laptops was apparently a bit more jarring. The new line was due for a name change since PowerPC chips got dropped, making the previous "PowerBook" moniker irrelevant. But many bloggers feel Apple's style and marketing gurus could have done a better job of renaming the laptops. Criticism in the blog world ranges from the feeling that the word "MacBook" is simply ugly to the idea that adding "Pro" to the name is a reaction to sentiment in the anti-Apple crowd that Macs aren't for professionals. Some have speculated that the designation may mean another, less powerful line of laptops may be in the works.

Whatever the new name may or may not indicate, there's a resounding lament in the blogosphere that Apple, a company that takes as much pride in style as it does its products' performance, should have spent a little more time in that brainstorming session.

Oh look, bloggers going after Apple. Call me surprised :eyes:
Waaaah, Intel Waaah! 4 times faster than shit-ass outdated-as-all-hell Motorola! Waah!
Waaah! iThis is having its market share diluted by iThat.
And here's a real WAaah! Jobs is a fucking idiot for teaming up with Intel over AMD.
