NO FireWire !!!
That's a deal breaker for me.
I use it a lot for video transfer and backup ... waiting new MacBook for 2 years ... and now this... Damn!
Okay Mac wants to be big into movies, but no blue-ray. Why?? How exactly are we suppose to make our HD movies portable. What carry around external hard drives?? If they didn't like blue-ray's licensing then why didn't they support HD-DVD which wasn't so proprietary. This may be some mystical Job's prophecy, the end of optical media, but for now we need something.
What's with colour change? It's as if they made the keyboard black just for the sake of making the new one different. Doesn't make it look any better in my opinion.
