Don't forget the removal of FW400, which is now officially extinct from all models except the somehow-still-for-sale white MacBook.

The bottom stand changed a bit, matches that of the 24'' LED

yes, the ergonomics were a home-run on the last gen models. Tweaking now, for the sake of change is lame and non-creative in my mind.

Nope, right is new. The end of the stand is slimmer like the LEDs.



^, I think it only looks fatter because it's a larger picture.

If you're on a small screen, like a notebook, new is ontop and old is bottom left

The stand on the new one looks sleeker, but I just want a computer that runs all of my programs well.
