[QUOTE="Dougiebaby, post: 923016, member: 125234"] I am not saying anything regarding the execution of i7 + Win 7 per se, but the [B]market perception[/B] of these new technologies being released together. Obviously, quad core processors have been in current higher end desktops for some time (many running Win 7 RC), so I would not be terribly worried about those systems "working." It is the market's perception (meaning [B]sales [/B]for the upcoming holiday season) when being bombarded by ads by Intel stating, "the most powerful laptop computers on earth" coupled with the generally well received/anticipated Win 7 launch will require some kind of offensive play by Apple. If I were Apple I would... [LIST] [*]introduce the new iMac [*]drop the base MBP 13" model and only offer the 4GB, 2.53GHz MBP 13" for $1,350 - $1,400 [*]introduce a redesigned/more powerful 13" MacBook (that will bridge the gap of the base MBP 13" and the 2.53 MBP model) [*]decrease the prices of 15" & 17" MBPs by $100-$300 (depending on configuration) [*]next spring offer quad core MBP models [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
