I'll likely get one of these. My main computer is a 15" rMBP (with the discrete GPU) that's only a year old. I also have an iPad (3rd gen) with keyboard for taking notes in meetings, reading, browsing on the couch, and light gaming, but it's getting…

One thing that worries me quite a lot is whether or not the OS X DHCP client can/does run scripts. That would make it a very big deal non-advanced users as well. Likewise, I'm curious as to whether iOS uses bash as its underlying shell and similarly…
