You're bitter at buying into Apple's hype?

Why didn't you ask yourself why the Pro laptop wasn't 64-bit when Windows laptops have been on 64-bit AMD CPU's for some time, Apple desktops had been on 64-bit for some time too.

Do you see a trend forming here? Things are moving into 64-bit.

So Apple announce an Intel Pro Laptop, incorporating Intel's new Core Duo technology. Logically, you would check Intel's site to see what Core Duo was all about and you would see Intel's roadmap where they tell you 32-bit Core Duo would become 64-bit Core2Duo in or around July 2006.

It is logical, since Apple has moved into the Intel inside race, to compete with Dell etc Apple will have to upgrade their machines innards as often if not more regularly than the PC competition. If you notice, Apple offer the top end Intel Chips (FSB wise) over the PC competition.

So, bitter to buy into Apple's hype? Or bitter you lack a certain amount of logical thought to work out it was just a matter of time before a 64-bit Intel Core 2 Duo offering was made available from Apple? Or bitter you no longer have the best of the best in Apple laptop terms now?
