The new 17" Macbook Pro has some pretty amazing specs.  To me the most notable feature is the 8 hour battery with 1000 charges!  That's great.  I have pretty much converted to Apple these days with my iPhone and older Macbook Pro. 

There are only 2 things left that I think I need before I would get a personal Macbook Pro:

1. Please give me a 15" with 10 hour battery.  17" is too big.  I can barely open my 15" on a plane.  13.3" is too small for my tastes.  You would think that a bigger screen would have smaller batter life, but no - the new 15" has a 5 hour battery.
   
2. Blu-ray please.  I like to watch movies on my laptop - particularly when when I travel.  I have started a Blu-ray library and I would like to use them on my Macbook Pro.    Even my wedding video is Blu-ray.
