Doesn't that have 2 4core chips and it's the low end model that only has one 4core? Or am I understanding you not correctly?

By base I meant the lowest model or the cheapest one.

Maybe Apple is giving its customers a surprise Blu-Ray upgrade for free. I wish that was true because I can’t understand why Apple isn’t offering an option for a Blu-Ray drive.

Not sure that I agree with Cringely on this one but he does make an interesting point and a possible explanation to your question on Blu-Ray....

...but having worked in the PC industry for close to 30 years I'd say Apple's reluctance has far more to do with supply and cost rather than politics.
