Doesn't really interest me, but for the SF whiners...maybe It's got the slowest Intel CPU (outside of a Mac Mini) ever offered on a Mac laptop, though I don't see the GPU spec's, I'll bet its the X1000 integrated, or whatever it's called.

USB connected optical drive? That blows, iTunes for HD d/l's that blows too, I don't have inexpensive broadband in my neighborhood, and refuse to pay for Cable TV just to get it.
Should have included thumbnail USB drives to get software, networking with another PC or Mac to get software...that blows. 80GB 1.8in drive, no way, 64GB SSD is the only option then. I don't need that Thin, for such meager performance @$1800 base price. A fatty 1in thick MacBookPro with Penryn (not announced at MWSF...and Apple's stock is down $12 today), would be better. Monteviña chipset with Penryn, better still.
