That is exactly right. The problem is that Intel's integrated graphics suck. So Apple, instead of going with an i3/i5 and being forced to use Intel's integrated graphics, stayed with the C2D and were able to use nVidia's 320M instead, which is much better.
@Sweet Dude Yeah, serious. That's okay, I'll get one anyway. It's a laptop, who wants to lug around a bulky 15"? Anyway, to get the 15" with proper spec (high res screen) you'll be paying $1900+ instead of $1200. Awfully big premium for a bit more screen.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Where is the patch that makes the 13" not have an old processor?
@Sweet Dude
or discrete graphics...
@Sweet Dude
When Microsoft releases a 0.25gb patch to fix a "few issues" there will be a post about how inefficient they are.
@Sweet Dude Apple hates the 13 it appears.
@Sweet Dude That will come when/if Intel allows nVidia to create a custom chipset.
