About the speed: how can these laptops be getting twice the speed, twice the graphics performance, etc ? Didn't the previous model already had the i5 and i7?



They did have i5 and i7, but Sandy Bridge versions is new as well as Thunderbolt


Yes, but nothing uses Thunderbolt.


Yes, but it's a good buzzword bingo addition. Ok, yes, it's overrated, and Apple wants you to buy a new one. The main point was the new Sandy Bridge processors. Which are supposedly lots faster (and I have an original i7 in my Lenovo which is a monster, can't imagine how fast it would be)


The internal display is Thunderbolt bus connected.


No, not really.


Even where that true, why the shit should anybody care?


No, it's DisplayPort.


they are now with 4 cores with higher clock frequency
