What I don't like is the fact that there is only one USB port. I like wireless, but I use a flash drive and an external hard drive and I need two. Also, why, oh why, did they have to take off the LAN port? I'm sticking with the tradditional Macbook. BTW, I'm guessing that it is now going to be Macbook, Macbook Air, and finally Macbook Pro at the top. Is this correct?
