Gaz,

I'm so jealous.

For no valid reason I'm so lusting after one of these new laptops, I could actually use one but it would be a serious luxury and it's very expensive over here (and I would have to get the SSD version)

What could I expect to get for a 5 month old black Macbook (2.16GHz Core 2 Duo / 2MB Memory / excellent condition)? I'm just not getting along with it. Particularly not for music composition. I need a decent iMac as my workstation instead. My old G5 just aint cutting it anymore. :(

:macwanker:
nice one.

Now out of interest, what are you going to be using those 8 cores for ????


(I'm sat here worrying that my dual G5 is getting seriously left behind, I bet the MacBookAir is probably quicker, but I don't know what I'm missing and what I could be doing)

Nice one you macwankers!

Fuseball: not sure how much you'd get, and I would have been interested but I've decided to wait a month or two until the next revision ;)

Well it seems the migration assistant did it's job exactly as it says on the tin, as I'm now posting this from my lovely lovely new Mac Pro.

Massive unexpected bonus is that compared to the old G5s it's just about silent. Lovely.
