[QUOTE=Justice;23197618]The 300 series is barely half a year to a year old and supports up to DX 10.1. You're worse than the people that whine and bitch about not having DX11 when no games besides Dirt 2 use it yet and DX10 is only beginning to penetrate the market and become a requirement (and even then only Just Cause 2 is guilty of that.)
Intel i7 has been out for 6 months now, yeah, except the problem here is that it's the best CPU on the market. If you want the best, what else are you going to get? Hmm?[/QUOTE]
Then if you're talking about the best, clearly DX10.1 is not anymore is it? Hmm? :) (Idc if games are not using it, newer versions of software push game developers to create better games with it...I really hope they stop creating games with low system requirements and really start pushing the hardware out there right now...really only literally a handful of games do that).
Anyways, I'm just saying, Apple usually lags behind in hardware, even if just a few months, you can barely customize what you want on the site, they charge you through the nose and out the ass for it, blahblahblah, you know the list.

also, i didn't pony them off, they are good pieces of hardware. i'm just saying Apple usually lags behind a few months, it's no big deal man :)

Also, this is currently what I have my eyes set on (hopefully, I can bring the GPU to a 5850 for better battery life):
