lol - the whole point of this post has been lost.
Ok --- to be more specific:
1. I do NOT use external keyboards. I use my laptop keyboard, directly. Why? Because I like the small ass keyboard and it enables me type 120+ words per minute (hence why I can post the shit out of GFY).
2. I am not a huge fucking Mac fan and I think that the iPad was one of the most useless tools ever launched. I also hate iPhones. That said, I DO like the construction of the MacBook Pro. It is durable YET aesthetically pleasing. So, I'm not really looking for anything else, most notably 'gaming PCs,' or anything that looks like an 'off the shelf' Dell. But, I do appreciate your thoughts on what is good and what isn't, if you insist on posting in this thread. I look at everything. Really.
3. I don't think Mac was claiming anything, about any processor. And, considering that it is in an Intel processor, I don't think that they will be anytime soon. That said, Mac IS a bit 'behind the times' at the moment and their launch of the new Pro will bring them back in line with the rest of the industry.
So, in short, let's get back to the original intent of this post: the upcoming MacBook Pro Core i5/i7, how it relates to what I want to do with, it and when it might be released. And, I am especially interested in hearing from Mac + Windows users, who have experience with the configuration that I mentioned (I know that there are a couple of you on here).
