It can be about your Mac, Apple's Stores, etc.
I'll start.

1) I don't like how I can't put my MacBook Pro in desktop mode, close the lid, and use my two external dell monitors. I wish it had 2 mini display ports.

2) I'd add a tad bit more space between the two USB ports.

3) This last one is more about the Mac App Store. I wish it would scan my Mac for Apps that I already have that are also available on the Mac App Store so it would appear as "already installed".

ALSO... I had a question about the MacRumor Forums. When someone quotes your post, is there a way to know? Do I have to go back to that specific forum page and search through to see if someone quoted? I'd assume there would be some kind of inbox that shows you all the quotes you have.
 
1) make the screen border smaller - I'm not asking for perfect edge-to-edge screen real estate, but the border is pretty wide, imo.

2) more USB ports, and preferably on both sides. plugging in two devices that have any sort of width to the plugs is a pain in the arse.

3) swap out the SD card slot for either an expresscard slot again, or an HDMI port.
 
1. I'd have the AC adapter port and ethernet port on the same side.

2. I'd make the 2-finger scroll work better so that I don't lose traction.

3. I'd have a manual ON button for the keyboard lights.
 
Most of this just applies to the 13".

1. Better processor (No more C2D, please)
2. No more optical drive (use extra space for 2 storage drive setups and discrete GPU)
3. USB 3.0
 
Better cooling

More powerful CPU and GPU

Better port selection (USB 3.0, E-SATA and Expresscard)
 
--better trackpad customization.. for instance, in one app, i'd like two-fingers to be the same as ^⌘(LMB).. can't do it.. 3rd party solution would be ok too but can't find one..

--optional app store installation.. the thing sort of sits there like a trojan

--another usb on the right side (i'm on a 15 now.. coming from a couple of 17s).. could even replace the sd slot..
 
1) Better screen resolution.
2) Extra SSD for OS and frequently used applications.
3) 10 hours real battery life.

For number 2) or 3) I'm willing to let go of the ODD. It's not like I want to NOT have the ODD, it's just that I don't need it.
 
1: faster CPU. Quad preferably, but even an i5 Or i7 duo in the 13" would be nice.

2: sharp edges. Smooth 'em out a bit. Not a lot, just a bit of rounding.

3: an extra 1 or 2 USB ports would be wonderful.
 
I have a 2010 uMB and wish I had:

1) aluminium unibody design

2) better colour gamut screen

3) SD card reader

oh wait theres a MBP?! >_<

1) Light Peak (USB 3.0 adapter).
2) Sandy Bridge.
3) HDMI, for Blu ray via a PS3.
