It seems all rather idiotic, they have videos on the site with the most awful choice of background noise (perhaps they think it's music?) and then show what you can do with multiple monitors things like playing a 720p video on one while you can browse, or say youtube, on another, but common, how the fuck can you watch a movie while watching a youtube or working on something? Having tons of monitors is just pretty pointless in most all cases.
sorry, forgot to add to my last comment; I would LOVE to be able to hook up an additional couple of monitors to my MBP :D However is there any word on max resolution of the external monitors? Cause I mean if its 1600x1200 then it makes it pretty useless to me... now if its 1920x1200, then we're talking :)
As someone who works with multiple massive spreadsheets every day, I wouldn't mind having several high-resolution monitors regardless of framerates or response times, even if the screens are 4:3. Alt-Tab gets really old when you have 12 windows open. I love my 1280x1024 dual-screen setup, and 1600x1200 triple or quad would be amazing.

Am I the only one here who would totally go for a 6-screen setup?
*spaces out thinking of all the geeky potential*

My dad can't do it, but the man is 60 years old.
I can do it. Although I'm 20 years old.
Are you an old man?

It comes in handy to many people who are editing Music.

"...who are editing Music."
Or graphics
Or coding
Or video
Or working w/ anything else that can be spread out over multiple monitors to prevent alt+tabbing every 5 seconds

Won't support 1920x1200, according to the website.
"High definition displays – up to UXGA 1600x1200"
Not really a big deal for most users, but I have come across situations where insanely high resolutions are necessary (CAD, etc.)
