For example, the Air has many less plug-ins, while the pro has lots.

Isn’t amazing that this article is almost one month old and still gets comments?

I would rather see a bump up in power and battery then a thinner mac. How thin it is really doesn’t matter anymore… If I wanted thin I would buy  the macbook air. I want power and long battery life. Make it even thicker then this one if they want to. I don’t use my current MBP because it looks good, I use it for its guts.

Simple, the vendor lists the numbers of such units in inventory on a daily, real time basis on its website, since I have been keeping tabs on the inventory two or three times a day and taking screenshots of it, I’ll be able to use that information to my advantage at purchase time.  I can hardly wait.
