I have a 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro and I'm about to buy the latest 15-inch MacBook Pro (2.3 GHz). I want to know about all the hardware features that I won't be getting, compared to my old MacBook. These are the ones I know about so far:

  • SuperDrive
  • IR sensor
  • Sleep light
  • Battery check lights
  • Ethernet port
Are there any other ones? Thanks!

Click to expand...

The loss of a superdrive is two fold. You lose access to two sata connections (potentially two HDDs/SSDs) and get a proprietary PCI-E port instead.

One more thing... The solid round alu Power button. On the rMBP, the Power button is a black square flimsy plastic key. Yuck...!

Just one more thing... The ever speedily Snow Leopard...
