My only "disappointment" is that it won't run all my native Windows/x86 apps, but that was expected.

Current Powerbooks are nicely designed, have great features but they are so far behind in speed and performance, I don't see myself getting one any time soon. I'm lucky enough that I don't need one right now so waiting is what I'll do!

What a ridiculous poll.

I vote neither, because my lines don't show up, and the upgrade to the new 15" from a 12" 1.33 is waaaay significant.

so there.

What does the switch to Intel processors have to do with quality control at Apple?

Nothing.

As if using a different chip supplier is going to have any effect on the % of faulty displays.

Bad poll. Kind of like asking "when did you stop beating your wife."
