Love it. Much faster than I thought, and I assume the Pro version is much faster?
Want to buy one now but I must wait a month

CocoPops said:No, not really.
The CPUs are the same speed, or slightly slower in the macbook, but not really massive.
The main diff is GPU.

Bigger is better when it comes to screen size.
The price hike for this however is worrying
Matt said:It's a laptop, therefore smaller is better. If you want a larger screen then use an external TFT

I know the Mac people have always insisted it works out of the box, but I didn't quite realise how much it could do without any extra installation/setup. Worth every penny!

Is core duo 2 processor on one core (dual core)?
Is core 2 duo 2 processors each with 2 cores (4 cores total)?

At least 4 hours just general web surfing with Airport on and fully bright screen, and maybe 3 hours DVD playback time with a fully bright screen (although i've decided I like it dimmer for watching DVDs so that could slightly improve).
Either way it certainly beats PC notebooks with their 2.5/3 hour "up to" time
