I have to say, I quite like the idea of a SIM card slot as for the mysterious tape covered hole in the left front, that came up on the other thread. Especially considering Apple's involvement in such business in recent time

- The exact video out plug standard. Though it may simply be an Apple-proprietary plug that requires a special adapter.
It'd be silly to waste a port on HDMI. You can just have a DVI (or mini-DVI or micro-DVI or super-tiny-dual-DVI, whatever it is they've put there) to HDMI adapter for $20.
I agree completely. This really did summarize the forum thread well...or at least the 10 pages or so I read before it completely exploded and I gave up on keeping up with it.
Well, it's a Mini-DVI Port:

There are various types of Mini-DVI Adapter:
Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter Apple part# [1](M9320G/A)
Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter Apple part# [2](M9319G/A)
Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter (DVI-D) Apple part# [3](M9321G/B)

There is a chance that they are just MacBooks (lowcost+new 15'') and we haven't seen Pro yet.
Extra slot = fingerprint reader?
DVI doesn't support audio.
No Firewire? I use FW every day, is Apple going to buy me all new hard drives, audio interfaces and video cameras to connect to the new machine? I don't think so. I hope profits drop significantly if there is any truth in these pics and no firewire on any of the machines come tuesday.
i predicted firewire for MBP's about a week ago. i know i'm not the only one to do so, just thought i'd point it out to myself i was most likely right. yay for self-assurance!
Yep, a two-in-one solution for the blu-ray player(probably not available at launch). And with all these HDMI-DVI adapters, this shouldn't be a big problem for Apple to sell their own. Those with VGA are screwed though, but VGA is older technology and I can see Apple's justification (or at least the likelihood) in dropping VGA support.
No firewire 400 is a bust to me. i remember reading somewhere that the firewire 3200/1600 are going to be the same cable as the fw800, so the FW800 could support all then(3200/1600/800/400)?
last time i checked, no one was forcing you to buy a new computer.
