OK - so the new MacBook Pro non-Retina offers:
How do you activate 'turbo boost'? Is it simply a function within the processor?
Just curious - I'm staying with what I have just now.

Mac OS X (10.7.4), 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
Turbo Boost is achieved when all cores (i5 and i7) are all running at the same time. It will activate to run the application efficiently and faster to avoid strain on the processor.
You will not however, benefit on intel's turbo boost technology when you're just browsing the web or using MS Office.
To notice how turbo boost works, open a large file in Photoshop and start working on it, you might feel a slight lag and all of the sudden, you're on full speed.
Bear in mind though, that when running on batteries, turbo mode will not activate since the processor is running on power save mode.
Thanks, Bimmer - you're my go-to guy!

No worries Clinton.
Anytime. My email is visible in my profile if you wish to ask me a few questions. Or maybe I need to ask you a few things once in a while too.
I'll do it - put it in my contacts list!
Thanks, again,
Clinton
BTW - my phone couldn't load iCloud - said that there were 'too many images'. I'm going to try it later this a.m. on another computer.
Can someone explain "Turbo Boost: to me?
