It has been a bit of time between upgrades for the MacBook Pro and some thought even MacWorld was going to have it. I may grab a 15" on the next go round.
Have you come across anything about possible 4 core Laptop since the new chips in the MacAir are so small? Saw a post about it, but I think it was more wishful thinking for the near future anyway.

I went to macworld. That multitouch trackpad is really nice. Spinning a photo worked just like it ought to, no lag, very intuitive, like the way a pen tablet works.
I have wanted a dual processor laptop for like 10 years now. They never seem to go that way, they always lean toward greater battery life and away from power consumption.

I think it's also heat. One processor makes a lot of heat, a second one would require active cooling all the time. It's just not practical...YET.

Any idea's on when and how much...
