Yes, I realize this machine doesn't compare to the quads, but I am still impressed.
Sold my 2010 13" this week and picked up a refurb 2010 15" i5. I am truly amazed at how much more efficient this thing is than the c2d was. I could easily max the c2d out, and anything flash related just killed it. With this dual core i5, I can hardly make the graphs move on iStat. The temps so far are way lower too. It just doesn't seem like its working hard at all. I dont know why I didnt go this route from the beginning!
I cant imagine the quads being twice as efficient as this thing is...
