OK, let's get this started.

First impression: at least its not as god awful ugly as the previous Macs. I know, Macs are supposed to be these beautiful, artsy, some people even say sexy machines, but beauty is really in the eye of the beholder, and I have never found them to be especially attractive, and would have been embarrassed to have one of the older systems sitting on my desk. This one is at least doesn't look like an artsy toy.

Besides that, where is the expandability? Upgradeability? I also wonder about cooling, and issue that Apple has struggled with in the past. I know that the new Intel chips run fairly cool, but I am skeptical of this design.

I know that Apple wants desperately to get into the corporate world, and this may be a step in the right direction. Most of the article, however, talks about how you can make cool looking videos and share pictures, etc. I'm sorry, but in the corporate world, that's not what 99% of us do. I guess in the end that is what separates Apple and Microsoft: Bill Gates understands business, and Steve Jobs does not.
