But OUCH at the price for a fairly standard spec laptop...
Intel Core 2 Duo processor
2GB memory
80GB 4200-rpm PATA hard drive1
Built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi2 and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
$1,799.00

Or with a 64GB solid-state hard drive instead - $3,098.00
Things will get a lot more interesting when Apple offers this with 16GB internal memory, and giving the user options for CF and an SD card so it doesn't suck up power the way a hard drive does, yet offers the user flexibility to upgrade as bigger media cards become available. The quick startup time would be a bonus too.

One can wish...
