Yeah, it turns out I have a friend of a friend who works for apple who says, "wait a bit." I guess pretty soon v2 of the mbp will hit the streets. I'm in no rush, I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth an extra $500 or so to get an Apple... oddly it's probably near what I could sell my Powerbook for. I'm still very curious as to how this whole thing could play out. So far the world of Windows has been mostly cut off to me. It would be nice to have a foot in both worlds.
