I have been tracking this closely as well. Worth the wait, I must say The 1299 Macbook is sweet! I hope they have 'em available on education discounts. I am hoping to get one too! :clap:
Though it may take a while before they are available here, maybe a month or so.
Anyways, checking out the Keynote is Highly recommended I'd say.
Steve and his co-workers unveiled some cool facts about how the MacBooks are made and how the NEW aluminium casing of MacBooks is way more robust and beautiful.
Also the new Macbooks boast a stunning new LED Backlit display that is 30% more efficient and has superb brightness Levels.
The trackpad is also revamped, its now made of Glass, 30% bigger and accepts more types of Multitouch Gestures.
