    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: I think only i7 has hyperthreading (two threads per core).

    @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.

    In reply to LEAK: The Google Phone "Is a Certainty"
    This would be perfect for me. I recently picked up an HTC Hero from Sprint, and the first thing I did was grab the Google Voice app and set it to replace all of the normal phone functions (voice, SMS, voicemail), so it's like my Sprint number doesn't even exist. I work in a solid steel building, and data signals from Sprint's network can barely penetrate. So it's great having my phone set up to use the building's wireless, letting me make calls from areas that are complete dead zones for everyone else.

    Just so people don't say there are only complaints about Apple fanboyism, but isn't a post about a rumor saying it's "a certainty" kinda pointless?

    But oh well, let's see how this one plays out... I love Google, but there are tons of Google services that I chose the competition.

    If Google ACTUALLY designed every element of the phone in house - took 2-3 years of development including a beta phone, I would be interested. I just don't want them rolling out some gimmicky phone. I want transparent screens, keyboard, HD, 7.1 surround sound, FLASH, microphone, 12 MP camera, 200gb storage, iTunes ready, GPS enabled, camera flash, and a sweet Hello Kitty dongle to attach it to my brief case. Nothing less!

    Unless Google plans to remove the necessity of a carrier with a souped up Google Voice and "the real Android", honestly, I could hardly care.

    Especially given Andy Rubin's firm denial of such a phone. I'm not sure how I'd feel about finding out your "trusted source" is more trustworthy than a development head of an open source project.

    There was some speculation that the Google Phone was actually going to be a VOIP phone, not cellular. Any confirmation of that?
