There are a few problems with it. Sure it's thin, but getting away from that, the bezel boarder is too thick (I understand the need for finger area while holding, but it's still too thick). Standard features on other similar peripherals (ie camera, usb) aren't on this, along with some really basic memory. The biggest is the aforementioned lack of multi-tasking. Jobs really flopped on this one IMO. Granted Apple will probably get sales of the lower model, but who in their right mind would buy the $1000 model? IMO, it's just not worth it. Unlike true Jobs fashion, there was no out of the box thinking and by announcing it this early, I'm going to go out of limb and say Apple's next quarter will be hurting bigtime with lack of Macbook sales while people hold out to fiddle with this thing when it does come out in a couple months. Would it have been that bad if it were thicker in order to get better performance and processor? Furthermore, I have a big problem trusting anyone aside from Intel. If anything I'd just buy a Macbook. Does much more and actually has an OS.
