What are you doing Apple?  It seems like your product lines are having an identity crisis.  It is my understanding that the MacBook Pro (MBP) was meant to be a “pro” quality laptop… and now some lower-end models with integrated graphics are being merged into the pro line?  And what’s up with the SD card slot replacing the ExpressCard/34 slot?  If your product is truly targeted at creative professionals as it seems to be a popular choice among photographers and videographers, why does your laptop not support the standard which is CF — or at the least have a multi-card reader?  SD cards are most prominent in lower-end cameras which a professional would not primarily use.  And what the heck is up with the built-in battery?  What benefit to the user could a built-in battery possibly provide?  Also… the ultra-glare-prone glossy screen is quite obnoxious — especially when you’re paying $2k for a laptop and there’s no option for matte unless you get their top-of-the-line 17″ model… but even then, they charge you extra for the matte option.

I love my current MacBook Pro but its getting kind of outdated after 3 years.  I hope Apple will fix their “pro” line by next year when I buy myself a new laptop.  Otherwise I’m really considering getting a Lenovo instead.
