I have to keep telling people "...look, I'm no Mac fanboy, but..." and then explain how pleased I am with this little 13" Macbook. This screenshot is an encode of a Doctor Who episode to DivX (using the "Home Theatre" profile - 980kbits at SD resolution). The new v.6 DivX codec is multi-processor aware and on typical television content I get close to two-times realtime encodes. It's been a long time since my laptop has been more pokey than my main desktop at home! The dual-core Intel seems faster than the dual 2.4Ghz P4s in the family's main PC. Now I haven't explored any encoding under OSX but as a Windows laptop this is a superbly fast little machine.
