Note that that's the rear of the notebook, so the front very well may still be speakers.

Hm, agreed thats what im thinking

Anyone notice that all of them don't have optical drives, lol too much envy for the macbook air

Any notice that all the 13 inches have no optical drive? lol

The 15" doesn't either. I don't care, I've gone CD/DVD less. I stream/dl videos/movies and watch them through HDMI. iPod for music. etc.

If I ever need to burn something for my stone age friends, I'll get the external.

I wonder how these core i7/i5 mobile processors will multitask

Although theres that intel turbo boost thing it should run at fast but i wonder how it's going to multitask with clock speeds @ 1.6ghz and 1.7ghz

correct me if im wrong

What has the speed to do here?
Speed helps the task to end faster. The multithreaded architecture on them helps, and the fact that they have HT and TB helps too.
More threads run at the same time=more multitasking

Would you say the i7 will be faster comparing to the current mobile quad cores tho?

As a longtime Dell buyer, I liked what I read about the Envy 13 - until I saw the price tag. Here's to hoping Dell has something similar come October

It depends on what you're using it for. For majority of tasks, no it will be about the same. Only in a few situations such as video encoding are the i7s better.
