ideal for manipulating large data sets, performing complex simulations, creating multi-track audio projects or doing advanced image processing or film editing.
Already the most popular notebook for developers around the world, the new MacBook Pro can compile code faster and run multiple virtual machines and test environments easier than before.
MacBook Pro now delivers faster performance for complex simulations and data manipulation.
With the new MacBook Pro, developers can compile code faster and more easily run multiple virtual machines and test environments.
Aren't those all features described exactly for the "niche developer/macrumors posters"?!
