It makes me wonder if my laptop will ever actually become out of date. It will be three years old in January, a mere 7 months away, yet when I visited apple.com/uk/thestore this week there was little that made it seem out of date, certainly nothing under £1500.
Snow Leopard is meant to throw out all the PowerPC stuff and reduce the HDD footprint. Windows 7 is less bloated than Vista. Either way I can't see any requirement from the OS for more power.
What about games? PC games seem to be tied to the console power now, more than ever. So we just get console games but we can up the resolution and lock the framerate at 60fps if desired. So nothing much will change here - new consoles aren't even rumoured.
So, it's down to video encoding I think. That's the only thing I can think of where I could use the speed. I would still be interested for my desktop of course :)
