The display size wont change much, if at all, until Leopard ships. That includes scaling for the GUI, otherwise the choice for those with less than absolutely perfect vision will be miniscule or murky. David

Yeah, it makes sense, but if Core2Duo is all over the TV, touting its benefits and it being the 'latest and greatest', people will be asking for it. If Apple don't have it, many less informed consumer will think it's a reason to get a windows machi…

I'm not sure that there's much to get excited over with this. Apple are really trying to make inroads back into the photographic market with their new computers and software. It used to be that an Apple was the standard computer to get, then the d…

As far as I understand it, the first Quad core intel chips are not dual processor compatible - they're pretty much like the two Xeons in the Mac Pro, only in one physical unit. David

I'm not sure if there are any problems with bandwidth, but I'm pretty sure that the 23/24" monitors still use normal single-link DVI. If that's the case you should be fine with two on even the 7300gt. David

None of the Apple LCD displays (Except the original 15" Studio display from 1998) support VGA/Analog signals. A VGA to DVI converter might cost almost as much as the screen itself. If you really need something that big, get a Dell screen, as it do…

From what I hear, Seagate seem to have the best reputation currently for reliability, but both Maxtor and WD have their supporters. David

Thanks once again for the replies - I'm swinging towards the Dell, purely because of the slightly lower price, more inputs and it seems like swapping it will be slightly less of a hassle if it isn't pixel perfect. The only thing is - how do I get…

Everything apart from the 3D should work fine with the standard card. As for the 3D, it depends how much it relies on the GPU or the CPU. Remember, if it is important to you, the basic card has no fan to make the machine louder. David

OK, once again, thanks to all for your replies, but I'm confused. An Apple store assistant here in London said that I could exchange it for a dead pixel at the store, even if bought online. But I'm not convinced. It's making me think that the D…

If you're considering both, I'll assume that you can afford both if necessary. Given that, you're either in two camps: size or power. I'm in the size camp, so chose (at the time) a 12" Powerbook. I'd still recommend it as the smallest Apple l…
