Damn, Those are really fast when i tested at Apple store
The quad core is definitely an upgrade!
I might wait one more iteration. Hoping the internal GPU from Intel gets much faster as new chips come out (6-8 months). I still own a PowerBook G4 - man is it getting old and slow.
With Quad Core - these laptops can finally replace desktops.
FWIW, "Thunderbolt" is not proprietary. It's an open standard developed by Intel and available for implementation by anyone.
