Apple As expected, Apple has refreshed its entire consumer line of Macintosh computers. The Mac mini, the MacBook, and the iMac lines of computers have all been overhauled, with the MacBook even getting a complete redesign. Prices in Europe have been dropped slightly, and there's a new mouse, too.

If you read the specs...

The 27" iMac allows you to use the DisplayPort to INPUT a video source into the iMac. This is fantastic for Macbook/Pro owners (like me) who can hook their laptop up to a 27" display ;)

At first I was sad to see the replaceable battery go in the Macbook, but then I realized I haven't even replaced the original one from my Macbook I bought 3 years ago and I still get over 4 hours on it, so really not a biggie.

It's replaceable, just not user-replaceable. And it costs about the same as a new battery does anyway, so it's relatively moot.

Except you have no laptop until the battery is replaced.
