    8 Core Notebook

    Rather speaks for it's self :) Little weak on the GPU side, however for those that can lever the performance of the CPU a "flyer" Not for those seeking long run times off the power :p Wouldn't mind picking one up at the right price, although still happy with my current 17" Q-6

    Worth it to upgrade GPU on 2010 Mac Pro while waiting for the new one?

    Not trying to get too far ahead of myself here, but it does seem quite likely that I will get either the next Mac Pro or possibly an iMac Pro to replace my current mid 2010 Mac Pro.
