Nice! MBP has both integrated graphics (9400M) and the discrete video card (9600M), should help with battery life... 5 hours, 4 hours respectively.

Jason Chen:

The Mini DisplayPort is downsized from the full sized DVI connector. The Mini DisplayPort can drive everything the big DVI can (30-inch displays)

I hope that includes 37 and 40 lol

I'm only in the ultraportable market...I wish they'd have something that competes against the Lenovo X300 :(

It's going to come in two models. The first, $1999, 15.4 inch display, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA 9400 and 9600. We have a second config at $2499, you get a faster CPU with double cache, 4GB RAM, double graphics memory, 320GB hard drive."

nice, Air upgrades

"We're putting the 9400M in the Air, adding a 120GB hard drive, and we've got a 128GB SSD as an option -- in addition we're putting in a mini display port."

"We're introuducing a new Cinema Display -- our first with LED backlighting. It's got a cable with three connectors: a MagSafe, you can power your notebook, 2nd is a USB port, and third is Display port."

Nice, iSight and mic built into Cinema display

Exactly. I love the design and all, but Toshiba just updated their line, Dell has their new E-series and Lenovo's X200 and X300 are amazing.

Still Lenovo for me.

Introducing a new generation on top of the white plastic MacBook. Corner to corner glass on the display, same aluminum unibody enclosure like the MacBook Pro, LED backlit display, next-gen graphics, multitouch trackpad, Mini Display Port connector and environmental features.

Wow, sexy!
