So, I finally got my offer letter from VMware and started looking a little more seriously at new laptops. As I mentioned earlier, I’m interested in the 13″ Macbook Pro, however with Core i7 Mobile coming out in (supposedly) the next couple of months, I’m worried to pull the trigger in the event that a refresh could happen later this year.  With Snow Leopards improvements to multicore performance via Grand Central Dispatch, a Core i7 should provide a pretty big performance increase over the Core 2 Duos that are currently used.  Then again, this may be another case of me wanting more horsepower than I really need, as my laptop’s primary functions are generally Web and Email. Graaah.
