Yeah, no kidding. And not just children. I've had adults walk through it too. I hope this doesn't ever make it to the pro line. It's fine I suppose if you really only plug the device in to charge it once a day, like a phone, but I don't expect the battery to last all day if I'm doing really processor-intensive things, which I often do.

Don't expect to do anything processor-intensive on that fanless Mac.

I thought this was really odd. A lot of engineering went into getting 30% more battery storage inside the laptop, but then you trap all the heat in there! You'll easily lose that 30% extra storage to loss of battery performance due to the latent heat.

On the flip side, I understand this processor has a slower clock speed than any other hardware that Apple currently offers. Perhaps that explains both design decisions? Hopefully it balances out.
