Actually I custom ordered this laptop. So it has the Dual Core Duo 2.93gHz processor, 8 gigs of ram, 320 gig 7200 rpm hard-drive. It was built this way as I use it to run Windows VM's for code development. So I can have a development server running on it, and also a couple of client VM's running. So basically I can emulate a mini-network environment all on the same physical computer. I must admit that this laptop is pretty darn cool. The fact the body is made from a solid aluminum slab that is milled. There is no flex in it as all. The 17" screen is very welcome as my eyes are not what they used to be, and the 12" screen on my Dell XPS laptop was making it a bear to code on when I didn't have it connected an external monitor. The Mac is a killer machine. I am glad work footed the bill for it as I could never one on my own. For what we paid for it, I think Steve Jobs assembled it himself!
Speaking of the Commodore 64. That was my first computer, and what I learned to code on when I was 12 years old. I had that machine for many years, and even ran a BBS on it. I started with a tape drive, then bought a 5.25 drive, and I even imported a 3.5 drive for it from England. Many fond memories. Who remembers this?
