All the gory details here:

If only this thing has Montevina, I'd be *extremely* tempted. But it kinda feels like a (admittedly gorgeous) slice of yesterday's technology. Yes, the powerbrick wireless-N bridge thingey is a great innovation, as is the keyboard sensor to prevent accidental grazing of the touchpad while typing... but what's under the hood otherwise isn't all that impressive, unless I'm missing something?

Anyway, back to the unboxing... notice in the penultimate shot, you can clearly see the new font on the keyboard (different to the pre-prod units we have already seen pics of). I prefer the new font: it's a lot more subtle and understated. Looks very professional.

Oh, and guess what? Yup, the 'CRTL' key is now labelled 'ctrl'. Nice!

 

i dont really see a new font on te keyboard. but i must admit it is very shiny. the exterior is like a mirror. it might be a bit too shiny for me. well the specs arent surprising since it is a 13 inch notebook. what i think looks unique is the touch pad.

 

Meh, fingerprint magnet all over the place. They must have been wearing silicon gloves while opening the box.

It's great for sure...it's luxurious.

 

hmm... i dont know if they are targeting the consumers that want the latest and the best and the newest...

perhaps they are going after the type of consumers that are buying into the mac book air and the sorts...

it is beautiful tho...

i cant play any games on it... but as for a travel business laptop where all i do is excel, outlook, and some movies... it does fit my needs... and with style too...
