Don’t forget to mention the new ‘all-digital’ DRM strategy that locks out analog video via the displayport, and is going to ‘content protect’ output.

As ticked off as I am about this, I’m likely to buy one of these anyway. Sad but true.

The absolute best news from the keynote is the availability of a matte screen. Now I can finally think about an iMac without reflections.

[...] and iWork.com have promise and add some great new features. Eight hours of battery life from a 17″ laptop still blows my mind. There was lots of cool stuff to get excited [...]

Dear god is that ever a gorgeous peacock pic.

Please forgive me for skipping over the context and asking: where I can get that photo for my background? :)

It’s too bad Apple feels that Blu-ray is a “bag of hurt”. That’s one feature it is missing.

I think it’s great, not that I’ll be buying one.

Memory and Hard Drive are accessed by the 8 tiny screw (Phillips #00, like on the 15″) on the bottom. It’s the same way RAM is accessed on the other models. It’s probably a better idea, too, since how often do you replace your hard drive? I’ll bet that these are user-replaceable parts too, since they’re likely in the same place as the other notebooks. Wonder what they did with the extra room in the case though.
