I wasn't trying to say it would have bad battery life, I was just wondering how it compared to the rating for the previous model, and if that rating were better, whether that meant there was a bigger battery in there.


That's true. Even looking at the retina/non-retina models they have in the store right now, you can see that the space for ports on the side of the retina model is about as tall as a thunderbolt port, which is clearly shorter than the ethernet port.

Still, $30 for a dongle as simple as an ethernet adapter is kind of unreasonable to me. Hopefully there will be third party options available for cheaper...
