Don't do it! Save your money and buy a better PC. Once the honeymoon period is over you'll be wondering why you spent so much for so little and what the easiest way to get Windows on to your Mac will be.
Things become interesting only when you start adding multiple devices, protocols, and once different interfaces onto one cable. (Oh look I can run my external hard drive and two monitors off of a single cable type.) Intel has a few slides with LightPeak to multiple interface boxes.
Otherwise you are not going to saturate it with a single device type in the majority of cases or at least one that a notebook owner could present with.
Depends. I know if I was simply running Windows, I would miss the unix based OS so very-very much. But then again, I'm a software engineer... Besides the Unix underpinnings, the only other real reason to get it is for the lack of malware... Thats the only reason I would suggest for a non-programmer to buy a Mac anyways. I know I know, if I want Unix underpinnings I could just go for a Linux OS, but their are not enough good commercial apps for it. The day a Unix based competitor (ChromeOS?) or the day Windows makes some dramatic changes to its underpinnings, I don't see me using anything but Mac for a while.
So in my opinion, if you're not a programmer, and you're not editing video, I don't see why Windows 7 wouldn't meet a typical users needs!
I guess I should've taken it as a sign when the 13" MBP I ordered at the end of last month was stolen by UPS. Instead I went over to BB and bought a new one.
Not that I really need anything that the new refresh offers, but damn, that kinda stings a bit.

Your display should be able to be the endpoint in the daisy chain, check the video in the link, same scenario. Computer > LP External HDD > TV.

Never?
All Apple notebooks come with protective plastic film when u first unbox. it looks like that's what it is.

thank you, my point - anybody with any sense of aesthetics and performance would go for a macbook pro, it combines the two without sacrificing battery life for extraneous and unneeded horsepower. Plus, I do need the unix base for my programming classes, and dual booting ubuntu and 7 just isn't worth my time or frustration anymore. case closed, im excited
Me too. Starting to feel that horror.
But I guess we need to keep in mind that Apple also didn't do an event for the last update April 2010.
Did they?
Again Apple prevails. They've got everyone excited and whipped up over Thunderclap.
A technology that Intel has futzed with since 1999 and has gone nowhere. Too much must change to make the best use of it.
In addition it requires at least ten minutes of your time to Google it and verify for yourself. A task too daunting for most. After all why seek the truth?
Steves got everyone relying on him. They've shut off their own ability to think and bought into the hype 100%.
Flippin amazing ... Not the technology, but the control he has over people minds is truly "magical".
He's a brilliant guy. And he owns you. Proof? The Billions of dollars that you've given as a vote of confidence in his skill to convince.
Like so many other things the truth will take awhile to surface, but he will go down in history, as a master manipulator.
And in mere moments the narrow minded, unthinking, truth fearing haters will attack this post for all the wrong reasons.
Cheers

I just hate that I bought the core 2 with 320m on the 8th of feb, now I dont know if I should pic up the "new" macbook pro or keep my new macbook pro?
All I do is surf and watch netflix and itunes thru osx, and play GTA4 and testdrive unlimited thru windows 7 (bootcamp).
OH BOB SAGET! WTF should I do?
