I am a professional, and a mobile one at that. The new macbook is hands down the best laptop on the market.

I for one hope Apple doesn't cave to design by vocal committee.

I trust they made their choices of lower memory for better battery performance well. I trust they didn't implement a full touch screen because they tried it and it doesn't work in practice.

People may whine, but I challenge any of them to name a better laptop, and then use it!
