Yeah, I was able to test-drive one of the new classmates (one of the many perks working at NI) but the thing I like most about it (that wasn't mentioned here) is the VGA port. No more graphical programming on a tiny screen (without logging in via remote desktop), and we can even do code reviews using a projector. As far as horsepower is concerned, the old and new are equivalent. But the added features are very nice.

I asked about this, and nobody knows. That usually means NO. FIRST, please surprise me - PLEASE.
