Apple does great job UPGRADING MacBooks. That includes only minor upgrades- new processor, might be bigger hard drive, more memory to video card and some other minor tuning. I thing MacBook Pro is lacking in one feature- user upgradability. 2 things change very frequently- memory and hard drives. You can upgrade memory ($ 400 seems too much for me), but you can hardly upgrade hard drive. Besides seems solid state hard drives are here too for good. So can't Apple make better access to MacBook's Pro Hard drive? I think DVD drive is becoming yet another floppy too. So it would be nice feature if you could have removable DVD drive. Instead you could put either another battery or another hard drive. ExpressCard slot seems pretty much useless too. The only things you could put there is Apple remote (but there is no such size remote), besides you have to pay for regular size remotes now. Other possible candidate is ExpressCard hard drive, but seems speed is prohibitive to use it in real life. Other uses are not worth to bother- all adapters are sticking almost half a mile from MacBook and you risk to bump that every time.
OK, might be just almost an inch, but it still distract you from sleek lines of the laptop. So might be we could get more USB ports instead? USB seems became de facto connection now. More used than anything else.
