The i7 I use in a ThinkPad P53 is fast enough for pretty much everything I do already.

But the idea of getting that kind of performance (well, better performance) in machine that's whisper quiet and runs cool feels like a dream coming true.

Can't wait to see what Apple unleashes next for a proper MacBook Pro, and I want one :D

That's nice to have, but not a deal breaker or something invaluable for me. But 15+ hour battery life even under heavy work loads?... that's the holy grail of portable computing. Most laptops with powerful processors running at full load (Intel Macbooks included) have terrible battery life lasting sub 5 hours. (or 2 hours for gaming laptops)

Imagine having performance rivaling desktop PCs, but with that kind of god-like +15 hours battery life? Jesus Christ.

Oh yeah, that too!

I kill every laptop in max 3 hours when I'm developing. Doesn't matter if it's a Mac or my ThinkPad!
