Yeah, something that caught my attention was the bragging about how much less power it uses. If I didn't already like Macs, I would certainly assume they were trying to make me feel better about buying a more expensive machine which will run perceptibly more slowly. Shutting down a processor core between keystrokes seems like one of those things that sounds great in theory, but in practice will produce the old familiar beachball more often, since sometimes my 24" iMac has trouble keeping up with my typing already.
But probably you can turn that off, just as I've had to do with the low energy settings on my iMacs and old Powerbook.
