Is out , apart from the smaller one they've got quad core processors and have switched to AMD graphics. Anyway they cost a fortune but the Thunderbolt port offers impressive performance over Firewire and USB.

BTW I will not be buying one.

So you say.

The thunderbolt port does look interesting - certainly much faster than anything else at the moment.

Rik · Feb 25, 2011, 18:41:44

So that would be Thunderport is go?

No definitely No

my current one has at least 2 years to go.

I think you should test it for us, Steve.

I think the original idea 'light peak' was a better one but apparently manufacturers weren't keen
