Indeed, they are just using the same Intel processor, which is perfect.
It's the software that counts tho, just like you can have a good or a bad plugin on sharcs.

A teacher, using mac at home, but confident with pc because of his work, needed a labtop to do presentations on spot, so he got a pc 'powerbook' from scool..

I admit I don't have any experience with an Intel mac, but knowing Apple everything is well thought through and tested from day one it's on the shelves, in a way Vista would like to have been the next years...
