There is now one jack for input and output (13" only).

Yer, I went to check that out after. Hmm, is there any benefit in having a proper mic jack as opposed to the combined one? Otherwise what other reason is there to keep them separate on the 15 and 17" models?
Personally I think this is great.
Number of times I've used the microphone port - Zero
Number of times I've accidentally plugged the headphones into it - Loads
Can see how it would be annoying for some, however you could just use a USB line in device if you need both in/out at the same time.

Hmmm that isn't such a hot move for all the sound engineers / dj's / producers out there wanting the portability of a 13".. 
I'd imagine many will have to use a USB soundcard (more bulk) or cough up for the 15".

There is no digital IN - it's analogue: "Combined optical digital output/headphone out (user-selectable analog audio line in)"aye, microphone port IS kinda useless.
but the digital IN is not that bad..

I think he meant in the previous version.
