Apple decided to officially introduce its next-generation MacBook portable systems, during the October 2008 Special Event at Apple’s Town Hall and some have already had their first hands-on experience with the new MacBooks. One of the most interesting hands-on experience was reported by the guys over at Engadget, who were interested in finding out how the new graphics switching feature on the new MacBook Pro system worked.
Base on the hands-on experience with the MacBook Pro’s switchable graphics feature. As it turns out, it is easier to switch to better graphics on a Sony VAIO Z than with Apple’s MacBook Pro. That is because in order for the OS X to fully acknowledge your new System Preferences settings it will require a logout. It isn’t exactly a reboot, but it will be somewhat of a bore nonetheless, especially if you happen to be in the middle of a project. The logout and login are done rather quickly, although you still have to save all your work before applying. Ultimately, users could make a fair use of the new feature, but they might also be expecting some improvements from Apple in the future, with software upgrades.
