@tin - I understand the desire for a removable battery, but how would you upgrade the existing external SuperDrive?

@MoBurkhardt - 802.11n is going to be faster than the 10/100 ethernet adapter. Why NOT use WiFi? You can backup to a USB hard drive if you really need to.

what about the ethernet? Are we expected to restore 128 GB of Files onto the SSD via Wifi?

Excellent to see this! before you were just paying for how thin it was, and for the apple brand, now you’re getting good specs aswell!

Cheers for the post!

I hope that soon, they will upgrade its optical drive and remove it’s built in battery.

I agree, this update makes this a very attractive machine. I still know a lot of people who won’t get it because of the lack of a built-in optical drive, but I say “Death to physical media!”
