Damn you Jobs, Damn you to heck. Why do you want my money so very very badly.This thing looks disgustingly sexy. Widescreen LED display, 802.11n, backlit keyboard, SSD option. One word summary "Sweet". Those that need details can always check out the Apple's website.
Of course after the initial fervor wears off, you realize that Jobs just pulled a fast one on you.
It has an integrated battery that you can't swap out. Only one USB and no Firewire. You are confined to only the built-in microphone. And Mini-DVI so you have to carry around an adapter if you want to connect it to a real monitor. Also only an 80GB option and no Optical Drive, or the option to carry around an external one. Add to that that this is a first gen apple product and there are bound to be issues. Issues that Apple will keep denying and the forums will keep being censored until the issues just disappear.

Now if someone could get Ubuntu running on it, I might consider buying. Until then, it is a good Prototype. I would like to see what the industry does with it.
