I know absolutely nothing about notebook GPUs. Is that 650m good enough to play any games?
Really the only games I'd put on there is DC Universe and Diablo 3.....I don't think DC Universe runs on OSX though

Another thing....does anyone actually use firewire? I have yet to come across a firewire device.
Why no HDMI port for the regular MBP
Apple knows they could of added a BR drive too. Cheap fools

Man, I'm bummed there was no news of new/updated iMacs. Still hoping for a silent refresh though.

The more I think about the more I realize how overpriced these laptops are.
Apple should just license out OSX to other companies so you can bet better features and a better deal. Because that is the only reason I'm buying this thing.

I wanted to say that I am impressed with the new iOS, but it's like 703 said these are overdue features..

Apple doesn't believe in blu-ray but you think they'd put their pride aside and put in on a $2k machine!..........Well on second thought NOPE

You can buy OSX Mountain Lion for $19.99 and run it on anything that is Intel based...
Also, the specs aren't quite where I want them either so I'll be holding off until the next release I think. But maybe a 13" quad-core i7 is too much to ask for because of heat. I know the quad-core iMac i5 runs pretty hot...

I use firewire on the daily in audio and video production. Thunderbolt integration has not hit the production market yet. I will be waiting on the mbp/thunderbolt integration until legitimate products have hit the market.
Also, I read somewhere that they are getting away from optical drives period, aka no DVD's/CD's and everything will be flash or app store download.

This. Steve jobs really wasn't a fan of blu-ray. Said the loading times were too long. I think that and they're almost in competition with blu-ray with the Apple Tv is probably why you won't see blu-ray on a Mac.

Really? More info?
Last I read you could only use OSX on Mac products, unless you build a hackintosh and that seems like more trouble than it's worth

You're right, that IS the only reason you're buying this thing.... and that's exactly how apple wants it.
Why in the world would they license their OS when they're printing money with their business model.
Their OS is the the biggest competitive advantage apple has over the market.
Not a jab at you, but this is for people that are wondering why apple doesn't add this or why it didn't have bluray etc....

A hackintosh is pretty much just a pc with osx installed; but after further research, you need to make sure your components are compatible. I would do some reading-up on it. Regardless, you can purchase a pc laptop somewhere, if the cpu etc. is compatible, and install osx.

From a business standpoint yeah it makes sense. Do the bare minimum and charge a premium price because you own your own OS and if someone wants to use that OS they have to buy whatever you put out. But I'm a consumer, so that rubs me the wrong way.
