Premiere CS5 and the New Apple Mackbook Pro



The new Apple Macbook Pros seem really impressive to me with their quad core processors, 1 GB video cards, and the new Thunderbolt port, but one disappointing aspect for some is the fact that the video card is ATI and not Nvidia.  So how does it play with Adobe Premiere CS5?  Adobe seems to notice that the word on the street is you MUST have a CUDA-enabled card to get great performance.  Adobe says this isn't true, and that their Mercury Playback Engine's software mode is more than capable, with the right machine, of great performance.

So thanks to some tweets I found the above clip showing off Premiere CS5 on a new 17" Macbook Pro.  This makes these brand-new laptops even more intriguing.
