We wrap up the MacVoices Live! analysis of Apple’s “Scary Fast” event by looking at a transition to smaller screens and using external displays for increased workspace efficiency. The panel of Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Jim Rea, Eric Bolden, Patrice Brend’amour, Ben Roethig, Jeff Gamet, Mark Fuccio, and Kelly Guimont expresses satisfaction with the compactness and power of the 14-inch MacBook Pro and applauds the performance of the FaceTime camera in spite of it only being 1080p. We also talk about Apple's latest chips vs. Intel’s offerings, and the potential for gaming and developer opportunities. The episode concludes with a fun and timely discussion about panel members' favorite Halloween candy. (Part 3)
