1.a new smaller cpu.... C2D 45nm batch! 2.wireless migration (this is a bigger deal than u realize) 3.no optical drive (optical drives are gonna go the way of floppies, floop,floop...) 4.small powerful logic board (big deal also..this can be used for a real ultraprotable) 5.a badass backlit keyboard 6.environmentally friendly 7.It looks great.
Positive Externalities
1.It's going to push all the other manufacturers = better products overall, consumers win. 2.the wares companies/content providers on optical (DVD/BD)will have to be feature packed since optical is going to die eventually. 3.The bar has been set pretty high design and function wise = consumers win again.
I could go on and on and on...
bottom line we all win.
the myopia in here is tragic.
oh well.
