yeah, the falcon laptop is Core i7 and the highest you can get on a MacBook is Core 2 Duo. I spec'd out a 17" MacBook PRO
Core2Duo - 3.02 GHz
8GB Ram
125GB SSD
a few other goodies.
and the price came out to- $3,860
and honestly for an extra $1000 I can get a CUSTOM made laptop with everything I want plus some.
The only downside that I have found is even with the Dual Battery Pack on the falcon system you only get 90-120 runtime minutes (with DVD playback)
