One of the most amazing things about Turbo Boost, is its ability to increase the clock speed of each core individually, thereby getting more performance out of the chip. This, alone, will change processing dramatically.

Especially when not all apps benefit from more than 2 cores. I think it's a really cool tech.
can you provide a link about turbo boost. I just want to read about it.
The part that makes me laugh about Turbo is it makes me think back when computers use to have a "TURBO" button on them. Back when like what 75 mHz was FAST and top of the line.
i thnk the same thing of 'turbo', is that the best name they could come up with? sounds antiquated but its very real -- any application will be faster with the i7 mobile (tho im still holding my breath for a cheap 'old' i7 920 @ 2.66 ghz...id guess its cheaper, obviously much faster when maxed out, & the 'expense' we'lll pay is having an already ultra thin desktop not be much/any thinner). no matter if the app uses only one core, two cores -- and obviously any application that can use more will blaze in comparison -- remember a decent # of apps feast off of hyperthreading & will recognize 8 virtual cores, vs 2 for the c2d. huge performance gain even with the mobile. and a simple i7 920 would be almost beyond compare, probably especially so in SL which is designed to love extra cores.
It would be even more amazing if Apple would put Nehalem chips in affordable systems....
Turbo Boost is nice, but when the entry price is US$2499 - not so much.
Hehe, thanks. Original size was much larger, but it just took some cropping and that's about it. I'm all about 80's nostalgia (having lived through it and remembering all of it.)

And Europe is at a stand still? Does that acutally matter?
Last time I checked, the NZD is 71c to the USD, and we're how big compared to the USA? We can JWalk, Go out on to street and shout our freaken heads off and we can take our Bosses to the employment tribunal for firing us. Oh yea, and we have government health care.
It should be simply not simple.
I'm not going to justify the last part of that sentence, unless you actually go to another country and experience it first hand. Than just looking at the Laws.
Thats boring, especially if you're going on holiday. I may as well just take a tour into my backyard.
You're using homogenization wrong BTW. Its used in Computational Mathematics and Science. Homogenize by itself is a process to remove fat from milk. You should say "When you get to the same level of Homogeneity"
Umm, Its exactly the same. No really, how are states different than a bunch of countries squished together?
Oh and there a plenty of cases where I could argue against. Cough New Orleans Cough
i'm not going to get into a debate about what's better between PCs and Macs. I myself find that I can do what I need to do better with a Mac. My roommate can do his deeds on a PC. He has considered perhaps switching and plays around on my computer when he has time. Might switch, might not. whatever.
but on the issue of the whole Blu-ray thing, my roommate did make an interesting comment. he observed that it seems Apple isn't a company for following others, but rather leading the way. And given that the future seems to be solid state drives, SD storage etc . . .

Ok so I'm no dairy framer, but Homogenization doesn't remove the fat from milk. It's a process that suspends the cream(fat) in the milk so it doesn't separate.
Of coarse that means they can skim some of the cream before hand to get low fat milk that tastes like real milk. Then sell the cream to Japan to make soy milk that doesn't taste anything like real milk but at least has some dairy protein.
I think that if you're going to start correcting people on their grammar, you might want to set forth a good example by using proper punctuation and spelling.
