  2. Are those i5 and i7s the Nehalem Architecture from Intel? I think @leolaporte mentioned its worth waiting for those. I guess they'll be out next month. Wow, the display looks fantastic, but alas, I just got my iMac a year and a half ago, so my next Apple purchase will have to be a MacBook Pro. Great article, great summary. The video on the Apple site is tantalizing too.
