Sadly I do not just an ATI 4870 which should be capable but is apparently not as supported as I had hoped.
mine is

I'm going for it!!!!!
Yes I am!
Frankly SL improves a lot of the elements that I use every time I startup my MBP. Now I do wish for Video acceleration and I don't know if I will get it; but I believe the implication here that only 9400M based systems get it is wrong. This will be figured out of course after the OS debuts but it would be a big black mark on Apples future to not support other shipping GPU's and a few formally shipped GPU's.
All I really need to do before updating is to get a big back up disk. I'm tempted though to upgrade my hard disk we will see how good myself restraint is!

Can anyone explain
What is the difference between "Put Away" and simply "Undo"? Whenever I've accidently dropped something in the trash, "Undo" puts it right back.
I used Mac OS 9 back in the day, and don't remember that feature being any different - just a different name.

From here:
Kinda strange....
Or is it that a Mac Pro has enough horsepower over anyway, and that Apple felt the need to use the 9400M's power to help the MacBooks and Mac mini's playback 1080p content.... i.e. iTunes Store going 1080p shortly?
It works with the EVGA GTX-285 also. It just hasn't been documented yet.
[edit] here
[/edit]Undo for that trashed item will only remain active until the next item in the queue qualifies to be "undone".
I don't have SL but I believe, "Put Back" can be invoked at anytime. The OS just remembers where the file came from before it was trashed.
I fully agree with what you say.
Certainly if I had Leopard, I wouldn't be buying Snow Leopard - I have a GMA950, something I have always thought as a little silly to put in an expensive laptop and will miss out on a few Snow Leopard features.
And things like this are not good at all:
As for the new computer, even though next year is my last as a student, I doubt I will take advantage of the discount and splash out on a new machine - this thing has a couple more years in it yet! Even the battery - 745 cycles and I still get 2.5hrs normal use out of it...
New computer the month after 10.7.3 comes along I guess...

Undo only has a small history list.. I learned this the hard way when I first got my first Mac.. I deleted some stuff by mistake while I was trying to clear some stuff of the HD.. I looked in the trash and saw it and realized there was no way to tell where it was originally since Undo did the prior actions.
Hmm... I thought two finger scrolling was a multi-touch gesture? My original MacBook (purchased May '06) supports two finger scrolling, what's so different about the touchpad than in later models?
Will the 9600m's in the MBP's get the same improvements as the 9400m or do they already have it? I rarely run the 9400m so the improvements, while nice, won't be much help.
That is my point exactly. From the perspective of the typical user this release is a non event. Most users aren't going to notice that it takes 3 seconds to fetch email instead of 5.
Apple should have developed these enhancements, released them with little or no fanfare, and done a real release with real new features at a later date.
Unfortunately apple decided not to enable multi-touch on older macbooks, even though they can.
There's tons not on that list that we simply won't know if it works or not.
1. Net Extender (Sonicwall VPN client)
2. Keepass
3. True Crypt
4. Harmony Control Center
5. Sling Player?!!?!?
6. HP Media Center (for those of us with EX485 network storage)
And plenty more.
I don't feel like being a guinea pig for Apple. They should be the ones providing a compatibility list, not leaving it to us users to figure it out for them.
This is not true at all. The "multi-touch" that was debuted on the Macbook Air involves adding hardware, ie. the same chip used in the iPhone.
Oh well, I've lived this long without gestures, I'll make it till I get a new 13" MBP, hopefully when they offer a matte option on it.
I did not realize that it actually has a hardware controller.

Yeah but what if you get a new macbook and then 10.7 has features that only work with a newer macbook?
