Come to think of it Apple is pretty good at doing things "too soon", the semi-bleeding edge, that can set the tone for the industry.
Like, this whole lack of optical drive and ethernet plug, relying all on wireless, reminds me a bit of the iMacs not having a floppy (or a writable CD)
It's funny, in retrospect I saw a hint of this in a coworkers iPod Touch; it was startlingly thin, shaving off a bit from the already modest iPhone.
And the price point isn't really in rich douchebag territory; < $2K is not terrible for a good laptop.

I still don't like OSX that much...
