Since the Cube is supposed to be the high-end system, why would you  
make a non-Turbo cube?

Doesn't sound like it.  But then it also doesn't sound like owners of  
older slabs (including older Turbo slabs) can use it either.  My  
understanding is that all _new_ systems will now come with the new  
keyboard, but that it cannot be retrofitted to existing systems.  Of  
course, I wouldn't mind if someone told me I was wrong.
