There is nothing "Pro" about the current lineup - the Pro's were left in the dust and given a paltry upgrade this year. Next year they'll get bumped to a new plateaux.

Yeah, well, mmm, you're probably right. But I needed a new PC for 
my translation work, and decided to go Mac for this one too, 
since all my recent PC's were so full of ^($% and trouble and 
have cost me weeks of problem solving.

So I got a MBP 2,3 GHZ, i7 quad core.

Joost was here this weekend and put in a 512 GB SSD drive plus 16 
GB of RAM. It's a beast. Really. I will be doing a dual setup 
soon: OSX/Windows 8.
I already own another MBP (dual core, 128 GB SSD) OSX/W7, which 
is very nice as well (only problem is that the 128 GB is just not 
enough - I need to de-install stuff).

I'm sure there's awesome Macbooks coming next year, but I'm not 
really interested in that touch interface for my work computer. 
I've got an iPad for that. Perhaps in 4-5 years :-)

Cheers,
