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.
