I didn't expect praise over the new Macbooks, but this article screams "move on people, nothing to see here". The content on this site is getting more and more downhill. Sorry to see that.

Also means you'd have to run migration assistant over a LAN rather than via FireWire, and boy would that be slow on most networks.

Many of us expected that $899 laptop, but Apple has rarely played to favor low prices. They always have a premium attached to their brand. This was really an event to showcase their design chops rather than focus on the power of the notebooks. We're always going to see increases in power (cpu, RAM type, Mem throughput cache, GPU, etc).
