I think anyone who wants 12 cores will pay through the eye for them. That trackpad thing seems a little... I guess the idea is that now, anyone can have trackpad functionality even if they don't have a powerbook? Can you draw with it? Seems like a $70 toy to me. Frankly, I am very glad I bought my 8-core 2.26 ghz Nehalem from the Apple refurb site a year this month. Saved a pile of dough, and it's plenty fast enough for me. Zane, if I were you, I'd look for one of those, too, but you know best what you want. I know that I am wierd, but I'm tired of constantly new product coming out, but that is the prevailing "business model." zc
