    That was fast! Only three months since the last upgrade!!

    http://www.apple.com/imac/

    Twice as fast, for the same price!! To those that just bought an iMac, I fill your pain!!! :D

    As for me, I'll be waiting for a future verison. Being the first Intel version, I'm guessing there will be bugs in them!

    I think you're confusing Intel with Microsoft :p

    I've seen OS X run on a P4 intel box before, it looked quite a bit faster than on the powerbooks we have around here. I guess that is good news for Mac users, however I think I'll just pay half price for a generic laptop with the same specs and continue running linux :)

    That is SUCH bullshit.

    18,000 pixels is nothing.

    The best looking plasma on the market only has a resolution of 1024x800, while all of it's competitors have 1280x800 (Or something like that anyway.)

    Basically, the new MacBook rocks.

    I want one.

    It'll be on order by the end of the week ;)

    the local mac-taliban member at my office already ordered one, says he should get it in five weeks. the price here in denmark is close to $3700, i dont care how nice it looks or how much faster than the old mac, no way i would pay that.
