"One of the problems of the "cute" slotless packaging with small LCD displays (costing 1300$) is that one might as well buy a laptop and get the portability as well." "The fact that this is all that was really announced by Apple after all the rumors and hype seems like an act of desperation. " 1. If a $1300 laptop contained a top-of-the-line CPU, perhaps so. But neither the Apple nor Windows line of laptops contains a top-line CPU for this price. (Apple comes closer, for power dissipation reasons. But it will be a while before a 30- to 50-watt CPU goes into a laptop, even with good power management circuitry.) 2. "Slotless" is misleading. The last time I put anything into any of the Nubus or PCI slots in my Macs was several years ago. Nearly everything is built-in. Disk expansion is usually through Firewire. (I have three Firewire drives on my G4.) 3. As for your "desperation" comment, you don't appear to be a serious thinker on this issue, so I won't comment further. --Tim May
