That said, I really like the specs on the new machines - the only missing feature for me _is_ a TiVo-like recording system based around some kind of A/V input. I am hoping they drop the price when Core Single prices drop. The $500 price point was very appealing, but I am not sure I would want to give up any of the new features. Gigabit, for example, is something I very much wanted. Thus, I am hoping for a price drop rather than a speed bump in a few months.
