This is crazy, Mac came out with a duel core Intel based laptop before Dell did.

It is a competitive 1.83 GHz (compared to 1.86 of the standard Centerno) that has 2mb of cache and runs at 667 FSB (compared to 533 of the standard Centreno), however it has 2 cores, and is built at 65nm. It also comes standard with a gig of ram, and a 5400 rpm 100gb hard drive. Some other notable features include a DVD+RW-DL drive and a X1800 GPU, as well as hard drive vibration protection, and an illuminated keyboard. All for around 2k.
I am not a Mac person, but the first thing that I said when I saw this was "WHAT!!!" I recently paid 2 grand for a single core laptop with a x600 GPU. And this is a 15 inch-er. WOW. The best part - it is Intel hardware, so I'm sure you could find a way to run Windows on it.
Any one else shocked?
