Nope. My CC was ready to go the moment SJ said MacBook Air. I was chomping at the bit ready to spend up to $2300. But as he went on I saw more and more stuff that was unacceptable and my wallet shut. I'll just buy a MBP when the Penryns ship.
What I needed:
1) A user removable battery
2) User upgradable RAM
3) The usual assortment of connectors OR a minimal set (USB 2 and video out) + a mini connector that connects to an accessory dock with a full compliment of ports like the old Duo had.
I can live with the proc, HD size and even integrated RAM. But I'm not about to buy a $1800 laptop where I can't even swap out batteries or bump up the RAM. That is the ultimate planned obsolesce. I don't mind spending the $, I just don't like to waste it.
