Does the aluminum case feel sturdy? By the way, nice pics.

Very much so. It feels exactly like how it was built. Very solid and firm. Hardly any flexing in the case at all. I love it.

I have to think these new macbooks are going to cut into the sales of the mba. they are now so similar and you get so much more for less money on the macbook. the only plus to the mba is ultrathiness which isnt much.

Bingo. I picked mine up today and couldn't believe how thin it is. I've owned the air too, and the sacrifices aren't worth it in comparison to this new macbook.

VERY sturdy.

Sorry to steal your thunder OP.

strange the hinges are plastic, wonder if its the same on the pros? wonder if they will crack or lose their stiffness over time.....i remember seeing some MBA posts about the hinge developing "play"

i know there's a keyboard backlight, but does the screen automatically dim too?

Odd request, but if you have time, could you take a picture from the side with the battery cover off, so the ports are visible?

I'm curious with how the ports are lined up on the left, how much room there is before the computer ends and the battery/hard drive bay starts.

Thanks!

Damn... this thing looks much sexier than I thought it would...

Do you think the back-lit keyboard is a must and I should wait until I have the money, or should I buy now without it and Mod the back light in somehow?

From the pics the backlight doesnt seem too impressive. I thought it would be a dim glow aura type thing but it looks like some micro fluorescent bulbs were thrown under there. I'd do without it but others could like it of course.

Thanks for the pics!

How solid does the screen size feel? Can you sort of bend it in by pressing on the middle it or is it rigid?
