I walked into an electronics store the other day and was browsing through all the laptops....most of them are just hideous....then you see the Apple section, and the MBP stands out like Excalibur w/ lights shining from the Heavens (ok maybe it was just the glow of the florescents) ....seriously, it is a work of art, its beautiful in every way, the proportions are perfect on the 15" model. I don't know how they can improve on it to be quite honest and the silver keys w/o gaps are a big part of it.
THEN you look at this monstrosity that is alleged to be the new version...it can't be and won't be. No chance! It doesn't have that 'step forward' Apple look at all, as someone mentioned it looks like any ol' PC....and from what I saw in that electronics store I'd have to concur. Hideous!
