actually, i'm looking forwards to the faster Phenoms. about the only processor intensive things i do much anymore is video compression, and with x264 it's highly competitive to the Q series C2D (C4D?) for slightly cheaper (i think i calculated 10% cheaper for a 4% decrease in speed), if Anandtech's benchmark setup is to be believed. Slightly less important is distributing computing (mainly just a heat-creator in the winter for me). Last of all in importance is gaming performance, as i've pretty much drifted away from games sadly, with WoW keeping me tided over til MGS4 and GT5...
The Chromebooks are here, starting with Samsung's Series 5, a cute little number that promises instant-on access, 3G connectivity, and long enough battery life to web surf with the best of 'em.
