[QUOTE="josephmccutchen, post: 1115090, member: 170463"] Yes I totally agree about future proofing; do you think that the i7 will still be a good computer, in let's say two years, or will it be obsolete? I have seen some sites that talk about a new Intel processor, but I'm not sure when that will come to notebooks. If the i7 will be a good computer for awhile, I would lean towards it. As far as what I would use it for, here is what I mainly use: 1. Internet 2. iLife 3. Final Cut Express (will buy soon) 4. VMware Fusion (maybe will do away with that at the end of the year, as I would like to get away from Microsoft altogether) How much will the extra speed help me with these programs? [/QUOTE]
