    I'm going to Law School this fall and will be looking to replace my G3 iBook. Dual core anything will be a little overkill, but I do a bit of hobby work in Blender 3D (www.blender.org) so that should help. You you imagine an Xgrid of these things? (no apologies to the Beowolf crowd)

    It's rumored that Intel is also including their Heat-Resistant Pants with the laptop so that while using your new Yonah your lap will not catch fire.

    For that price and those crappy ram/hd/lcd specs, I'll stick with my current desktop.

    And you'll probably be sticking in one place too.
