    i5 on 15", i7 on 17".

    You just know Jobs is going to smirk after saying that on stage.

    PS - I'm getting that i7 on 17" MacBook Pro, or else.

    My guess is that anyone who paid for the mid to low range Macbook Pros would not have spent enough money to get the i(whichever) option, much like the iMac. This is just a guess, but I don't suppose the C2D will just go away. The i5/i7 will probably start off being the tipety-top 15" and 17", if not just the 17" by itself, so don't feel too bad, all you folks that spent at or below $2k, at least not yet :P

    At the very least, the nicer C2D procs in the top end models will get pushed to the lower orders for the same money in their respective tiers.

    I've been holding off on pulling the trigger for a MacBook Pro to replace my aging PowerBook for a while now. I guess I can wait a few more months..

    @Jrsy Devil's Advocate®: I've been waiting 5 years with my VAIO.

    Sadly we are right before the USB 3.0 or Lightpeak versions (probably in a year), but I can't wait any longer.

    The MacBook Pro is likely to be updated in February, based on history and the fact that it's always wise to wait for kinks in manufacturing to be knocked out during the first production runs of chips.

    I knew there was a reason I was holding out on buying a new laptop. Hopefully the Core i5s will make it into a slew of laptops at a reasonable price. They're worth it for their decreased power consumption and heat alone, the increase in power via speed or hyperthreading is just an added benefit.

    That said, does OS X take advantage of hyperthreading yet?

    @Nathan Obbards: According to the iMac core i7 Benchmarks ([gizmodo.com]) Mac OSX is doing pretty well with multi- and hyperthreading.
    Other apps don´t benefit that much.

    @BobotheTeddy: Yeah, I was wondering if other applications other than the OS and native programs took advantage of it yet.

    @Nintenboy01: I thought some of the i5s had hyperthreading, just not all of them.

    Are games not multithreaded? I would think it would be pretty easy to divvy tasks up for games as there's lots of diverse things going on simultaneously.

    Windows will not improve my c4d experience its already awesome in os x. Id just like higher than I already have cinebench scores for GI and TP.

    @oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: C4D has been panned for poor performance on Macs vs Windows repeatedly.

    Basically, OSX really just kind of blows for 3D performance. And, I own several macs. I love them. I played WoW for a couple of years on my Powerbook and MBP.

    I'm merely stating something that Apple themselves has acknowledged.

    @Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: hrmm. I dont have any issues with performance on OS X. Maybe back in like c4d 8 or 9 using a nvidia card. but with a 4870 1gb flashed for OS x. and dual quads. I have no issues what so ever.

    id never switch to windows for C4D. Maybe 3dS. I have yet to work at a motion house that used windows with c4d either.

    If you have a recent review of C4d on os x or facts to back that up Id like to see them.

    @Lite: hates Illinois Nazis: "Basically, OSX really just kind of blows for 3D performance."

    It's not the fault of the OS if the developers of any given piece of software choose to do a crappy port of their app to MacOS X rather than rewrite the necessary parts with all the same OS optimizations that they did on the original platform.

    @Zanzan42: Actually, it really just blows. It is the fault of the OS, because the OS hasn't been very good at 3D graphics. That was one of the things 10.6 is supposed to address.

    "With a 17.3-inch (1600x900) display"

    I stopped there. My Dell XPS M1710 has a 1920x1200 resolution. I'll wait for the Studio 17 Touch to allow for a little more real estate.

    @Voohoo: Before I wrote the above comment, I went to the Dell page linked in this article, chose their most expensive option, and didn't get an option to pay more to get a 1920x1200 display. I'm not sure where @ForestFire0 is seeing what I'm not, but 1920x1080 is still less screen real estate than I'm used to.

    Call me too stubborn and too fixated on the 16:9. It's going to be a hard adjustment for me, I suppose, and I've been craving a touchscreen laptop for awhile. Hopefully the 1920x1200 option will be something I'll see in the foreseeable future. I'm glad I'm not in any hurry to buy a new machine.

    @Tamar Weinberg: hm, i just went to the Dell page that was linked in this article. if you go to the Studio 17 option all the way to the right ($1099) and choose to personalize it you will get numerous HD display options for it including 1080p. the other Studio 17 options they show seem to be the older models which only offer the archaic screen res. well anyway, the dang touch screen Studio laptop isn't even out yet so know one can prove anything yet. BUT i'm still very sure there will be at least a 1080p option.
