Very bad news for my MacBook prospects

When Apple announced the MacBook, many people (including me) were impressed that they didn't "dumb down" a lot of the key components: the processor, bus, memory, and hard drive are similar (if not exactly the same) as those found in the MacBook Pro.  With the exception of its lack of a dedicated graphics card and a few frills (such as an illuminated keyboard), the MacBook is essentially the same computer as an MBP, with a different form factor.

This is somewhat contrary to Apple's traditional approach with its consumer vs. professional lines, where they've used different categories of processors to distinguish the consumer from the professional. And is makes a lot of sense- a rich media consumer experience demands quite a bit of horsepower.

Today, however, comes news that Final Cut Studio is not supported on the MacBook- due to its lack of a dedicated graphics card.

Damn.

The MacBook is now, unfortunately, off my radar- and I was seriously considering getting one.
