Stunning Apple MacBook Pro MC721LL/A 15.4 inch

The laptop itself is great and feels solid. Intel i7 quad core- can't say enough about having a quad core on a laptop. Now I can assign more cores to virtual machines I run on my MBP and when I rip dvd's to Apple TV format the conversion completes in 1/2 the time that my core 2 could do the work in. AMD graphic chip the thing I love about the new model compared to my old is how it can automatically switch between the built in Intel graphic to the AMD graphic chip. Older version of MBP forced you to manually make the change and logoff in order for the change to take effect. Now I can take advantage of the higher capacity AMD chip without having to remember to switch and logoff/on to gain the extra performance. Thunderbolt- nice addition but will wait on judgement until I have a device that can take advantage of it. When that comes it will be nice to transfer files to attached storage at the thunderbolt speed compared to usb/firewire which will seem slow in comparison.
