Agreed. I bet Apple would have preferred to update the lagging Mac mini and iBook lines first with Core Solo processors, but Intel's release calendar didn't cooperate. The Core Duo was ready to roll, and so Apple jumped on the bandwagon. Explains why they were so quick to transition their two most recently upgraded lines (which are still available in quantity, at their original prices), and why the MacBook Pro is coming before even their own Pro applications.
