Hi,

I'm eagerly awaiting Apple's Arrandale refresh, and crossing my fingers that the Macbook will be included as well.

If it is, which do you think would be better for me? I'm a student starting university. I'll need it to take notes, create and run various programs, and run a Virtual Machine or two from time to time.

Do you think an Arrandale be better for me, with the newer technology, faster chip and longer battery life, or would a Core 2 be better for me (when the refresh occurs), as it would be much cheaper with retailers trying to clear stock, even though the technology is already several years old?
