    They should sell it in an envelope to go with the theme... that'd cool

    The powerbook I bought 3-4 years ago could do around 4hours.

    Would have to have a full look at the specs/benchmarks.

    I'm in the market for a new notebook.

    No, theres the iRandy Newman.... He fits in an even smaller envelope.

    I think Homer J Simpson sums it up best..

    BORING....

    I'd imagine any MBP updates will be speed bumps and not Keynote worthy. (possibly)
    They don't need a redesign or anything like that - next major update will be when they go quad-core at year end IMHO

    Was watching the live update and reading the comments in here at the same time.

    I reckon i have to watch the video footage later on to see what apple tv can do. I got the gist, but i have to see it in action.
