Eh, that last one is kinda weak. Widescreen? Turn it sideways. Card reader? Get the accessory. LAN port? Seriously? Why bother? USB? Comes with a USB cable. Video out? Sure, buy an AV cable.

Man, the haters are frothing more than the fans this time around.

Eh, between the bluetooth and wifi, what the hell do I need a bunch of inputs for? I'm fine leaving all that crap out, and having the option to buy an accessory if I ever need it someday.

I can see both sides of the arguement.

Point is that you pay more, then pay more, and then pay even more for something that has less utility. As I said previously, the only thing really going for it is the hipster cool factor.

Shit man, it's Apple. Why is any of this a surprise? Apple stuff always falls on the simple side of things, which usually means a bunch of stuff that could have been crammed in there gets left out. The design (and usually production quality) is top notch, and the whole thing costs more. Big deal.

For the right price you'd do it too.
