Oooh, sounds pretty. It’ll be worth checking out, I suppose.
Thanks, dude. I haven’t been able to even get into any of the news sites.
I’ve been following it here.
I like the new connector for the power adapter. That seems to be the most common failure point for laptops I’ve owned. Unfortunately, I don’t see money and priorities intersecting to provide me with a new MacBook any time in the forseeable future. I’m most likely to end up picking up a Mac Mini when the screen on my iBook gives up the ghost. Perhaps by then those will be Intel powered as well.
And will it run Windows under VMWare, as you can do under Linux? If so, woo!
