13.3" is not 12". Or the even better size of 10".
These updates are great but they're still not going to satisfy people that want something more portable.
So rather than trying to make the MBP spec-equivalent with PC laptops at the same price point, they're giving us more of this thinner, lighter stuff? Thinner, lighter, thinner, lighter, thinner, lighter. Same old game.
Is more robust functionality too much to ask for?

Was looking forward to getting a Nehalem MBP next year, but a glossy screeen has no place in a pro machine
may have to pick up one of the last of the current models on the cheap now.

Huh? Omission of FW notwithstanding, these are truly the best MBs ever. It doesn't obsolete your MB, but don't downplay these b/c you are happy with yours or can't justify the upgrade.
They finally realised that people wanted the smaller macbook pro and so released a 'macbook' which looks like the pro 
Not sure I'm liking the glass aspect of the screen but I'll hold judgement until seen in the flesh.
Liking the specs of the macbook (alu) though and the power via display is a nice touch which I'm surprised hasn't been done before.

$1599 for the top end MB.. sucks. Plus just because we live in Australia we have to pay extra on top of that. Argh.
Dude they dropped the price, just because it's not at the price you want, you're crying, people and their expectations.
considering the computer i'm currently still working on... i'm totally sold. just need to figure out which model is best for me right now.
Spotlight turns to notebooks. What a gross overreaction they have a $999 Macbook now.
Great, so finally we have the replacement for the 12" Powerbooks. These new Macbooks are just 13.3" MBP's
probably because the white/black ones will be phased out and these will take their place at a lower price point
overall good news for average mb consumers (IMHO) the new alu mbs will be big sellers. expected a wee bit more out of the mbp though, maybe january when the gaga over the new manufacturing process is spent
OMG WTF I still have to pay $2000 for a 15 inch screen you have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?
So much for a Mac being my next laptop *&^%^& %$#^0 !!!!!
Atleast i will save some $$$$

If the display on the MBP was available in matte, I'd be buying it this second. Because it's not, I'm having second thoughts.
