Pro or consumer 17Jan06

There is one thing I don’t understand about the 2 new intel macs. One is a desktop machine for consumer use and one is a portable machine for professional use. Why do they offer the same chip?

That leaves me wondering what Apple will be offering as a professional desktop machine and as a consumer portable. Logically the Pro machines (desktop and portable) should be on the same architectural level, so should the Consumer machines.

Because they are not at the moment, does that mean that Apple will be releasing a more powerfull portable which will be as powerfull as the yet to be released intel powermacs? Or is there going to be a consumer portable with a slower intel chip? Too confusing to me…
