I still happily use my 2010 11" so I can only imagine how much better the new ones are with the extended batt life.
I'm just happy that Apple doesn't do gimmicks. They could have easily slapped a touch screen on this thing and called it an "all in one" but they didn't because they know it's not practical. They focused on making the best possible light ultra slim work horse laptop they can make, and it worked.
