| While it is true the new MBP's are using TI (I just came back from the Apple store to see it with my own eyes), we have not seen a lot of posts confirming that they are working w/o problems. There have been a few (Jeff from Synthax/RME who stated it was working great in preliminary testing, someone using it with Mackie hardware); there have also been people like whinecellar who (I think) has a just pre-penryn MBP with TI and is having problems.
So I'm not sure the issue is closed as to whether they work or not (it certainly isn't for me). I'd conduct the test myself but if the answer ends up being no it will end up costing me the $250 USD restocking fee. But I'm getting to the point where I might do it soon anyway; I wanted this DAW (DJ box for me) up and running in December.
To diitriss,
I have heard (but not personally verified) on several sites that the MB is using Lucent (which is really probably Agere) still; but seen posts where people are using them w/o problems anyway. |
