I'm just surprised that SD was chosen to be built in over ethernet. Does the SD port really take less room and is considered more important? Personally, I cannot use a laptop with no ethernet, so I'd have to carry that dongle around everywhere. But really, I wouldn't mind as much if the dongles weren't absurdly priced. Will this one ship with the laptop?

Other than that, pretty nice computers. I'm guessing there was no resolution bump in the Air due to battery life. Did they say anything about battery life in the 15" MacBook Pro? If it's not reduced I have to imagine there's a bigger battery in there...

*edit*
And I'll admit, the fact that I can't have a laptop without ethernet is something that will not apply to the majority of consumers. Still, it's a little annoying...
