It's all good benparko... he's not a moderator, and maybe he delivers with a "Raz0rEdge" but there was no bad intent there.
He did leave regards at the end of it though!
... it's just that there are so so many multiple threads here due to lack of searches by members, me included!
You gave a clear and precise thread title "New MacBook Pro family has arrived!" rather than something like "guess what", or "have you heard the news" so at least anyone who sees the thread knows exactly what it is!

Haha. Thanks mate. Yeah I prob should have had a quick search before I posted. I just got pretty excited that they are released now because I've been waiting to upgrade. And I thought I'd be waiting to June. I could tell straight away you were an Aussie, a nice person!!! I'm from Newcastle NSW and mivin back in October... Can't wait!

Well anyway, cheers mate!

Have a good one!

Does anyone know the difference between the i5 and i7 mobile? I have looked around and it seems the desktop i5 vs the desktop i7 had quite a bit of difference - one of them being hyperthreading wasn't enabled on the i5. If I look at Intel's comparison I don't see anything turned off for the mobile i5 - so other than processor speed why would one go for the mobile i7? Also - I did my best to match the processor but there were 2 i5 2.4 Ghz and I don't know which one Apple uses - the comparison doesn't show any difference other than clock speed. If these are the wrong processors I'd like to know that too.
All the processors including core 2 duo 13 inches

Umm, hyper-threading definitely comes with both i5 and i7 processors, along with TurboBoost! The main difference, in my opinion anyways, is the the i7 has a higher stock speed along with a higher maximum turboboost speed. There is also 4mb of L3 cache instead of only 3mb on the i5.

Only for the mobile processors. If you look at the desktop processors there are several i5 chips that do not support hyperthreading or VT-d
Intel® Core? i5 Desktop Processor Family

Anyway that's what I figured - it seems it is mainly L3 cache and clock speed. I guess unless you need the clock speed I would recommend the i5 to save money.
