Hey Robin, I just got this sent to me today   SOURCES DEEP within Intel tell us everything is going swimmingly for the new MCW cores, but Apple won't produce a laptop with Merom until 2007.

I was going to upgrade my PowerBook G4 but am now delaying a month to see if the Merom 64-bit version is about to be announced - now THAT is going to be a seriously high performance laptop :-) Parallels is a completely serious option - 3 or so students in my Flex 2 class were using it to run FlexBuilder2, and it was faster than some of the native desktops in the classroom.  I also notice that VMware has just announced a beta for Intel Macs.  You could also just install Windows on the boot sector - the Apple hardware is nice enough in itself. Was thinking 15" or 17" Macbook - would go with 17" but apparently battery usage is a bit higher.
