Aye!! This is great!! Also, I think the iBooks can get 80GB now! I remember the max being 60! Yup! All of the models now have Airport Extreme built in.

I'm not that excited... only a small speed bump and built-in wireless, nothing much. But still the best consumer notebook on the planet :)

Go Apple!

I just realized that the 12" and first 14" were only updated 200MHz from the last. And the other, better 14" was only updated 133MHz. Thats not much of an update is it... I no airport is in it, but u could get that option with the old ones right? Do you think it was to keep people satisfied till future updates?

Well, it was your typical apple speedbump, not much increased, but enough to keep customers satisfied...

I mean, they couldn't do much more could they? Otherwise the speed would be the same as the 12" Powerbook...
