What's the availability date for this? Does anyone know? cuz I don't see anything on Lenovo's site about a Core i7 option... But I'd like to spec one out to price it #lenovoy550
As much as I'd love a Core i7 MBP to replace my late 2006 Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz MBP, I'm not touching any laptop upgrade until they come with USB 3.0/Bluetooth 3.0. Anyone looking to upgrade their laptops really needs to be a little patient at a time like now... #corei7macbookpro
@TheSonOfKrypton: Great point...didint even think of the new USB/BT standards...i was hoping to jump on the current model w/ pricedrop once new ones are out
@TheSonOfKrypton: i know its so sad... i got a decent laptop then they go announce new stuff like usb 3.0 and bluetooth 3.0
and then they make my pain worse by saying its backward compatible... c'mon i need the BEST hardware. its rubbin' it in my face by making me use usb 3.0 hardware with my usb port #corei7macbookpro
@TheSonOfKrypton: Totally agree. USB 3.0 will be a massive update and totally worth the wait. Hell, maybe we'll even see that Light based technology that Intel is working with them on. We can wish for it at least haha. #corei7macbookpro
@TheSonOfKrypton: Yep—Quad Core, USB 3.0/BT 3.0, and mature SSD drives. Still loving my early '07 MBP—only thing that I really desire is the 7-8hr. battery life on the new unibody Macs. #corei7macbookpro
Quit making such a big deal out of the so-called "Dell Tax." If you price out a comparable Mac system, it's not gonna be a whole lot cheaper than $101,723 either. Friggin fanboys, sheesh. #dell
Although Intel doesn't market chips according to their codenames, the individual chip gets a model number that gives you an idea of how it compares, spec-wise (clock speed, cache size, etc.), to other chips in the same group.
That's not entirely true. An Intel i7 870 (and 860 for that matter) are going to be a hell of a lot faster than an i7 920. They are different core types and that idiom holds true for each core, but the general public will see i7 920 vs. i7 870 and mistakenly think the 920 is faster.
@J2M3: Neutral. Nehalem was already used in the Pros, so the support was there. I'm not big on hackintoshing, but there may be some particulars to the P55 motherboards that it helps because of the new i5/i7's being used. #newimacs

Do you accept third party, un-signed, out of state check-like paper? #dell

i7 sounds good. Anyone have any idea of the difficulty level to transfer an Adobe CS3 license to a new computer?
