My finger has been hovering over the 'order' button for a new 17" MacBook Pro all day, but something is holding me back.

I have a trusty 17" Powerbook (1.33GHz) which I've owned for the past couple of years, and was going to wait until the 'rev b' MacBook Pro's (I'd not wanted to be a 'tester' for Intel/Apple), but the pure sexiness of the new 17" has got me :rolleyes:

Those of you who have, or have owned, both - how're you finding the newer model? Does it run much hotter? How much faster is it with real world app's? And how do the screens compare?
 
Apologies, I've just noticed I've stupidly posted this in the wrong forum.

Mods, could you move it please? :eek:
