well, everyone is on laptops nowadays anyway. from all computers that apple sell, the majority is laptops anyway. and what's wrong with a coreduo macbook as 'the middle-model' ??

i'm working on a projhect that has to run on a mac-mini, and i'm pleasantly surprised by the power of this little sandwich-box. ok, not the best graphics etc.. but this mac-mini is already overkill for most people.
suppose i compile parts of my project about every 30 minutes or so, the rest of the time it\'s eating from it's noze playing mp3.
heavier equipment would only really make sense for people in graphics/video/3D/science or large software companies. and them i'm sure there's very few (mainstream) apps that can really utilize 8 cores.
AH! i know one, and that's called OSXwithImovieMailSafariDreamWeaveriTunesFetchOfficeetc...and more, all at the same time :)
you can run your whole familiy of of just 1 machine :?

(or for the same amount of money just buy 6 mac-mini's = 12 core :)
