Apple's internal is NVMExpress over PCIe. That means an internal Thunderbolt SSD. If it is Thunderbolt then it doesn't matter whether it is internal or external. So you moan for $20 worth of an external case?

please tell me where I can buy an external thunderbolt case for $20.

loving linux these days more and more. amazing how easy ubuntu installs on old and new hardware with no effort on the user's part.

once all my dev tools run as nice in linux as OS X I'm done, hackintosh VMs for me after that.

these MBPs? no way. never. I'll pick up the last-gen used before I'd pay for such underpowered overpriced stuff. 

been using apple stuff for over 30 years, but not much longer. a lot of mac users I know are going ubuntu for laptops / desktops.

reason? simple - forcing digital audio to DRM controlled output. the actual hardware cannot cost more than fifty cents. Apple is a media company not a technology company.

magsafe? battery life? no SD slot? jeez does it have a headphone jack?

color me underwhelmed.

how about making a real 'pro' model, as thick as the original, with one week battery life?

no escape key, I guess it will be virtual?

the emperor's new "Magic Toolbar". instead of a full touch screen, a touch strip? why not both?

Looking forward to the Ax based MacOS system next year and fully-touch based display hardware.

In the meantime, my mac mini server dual drive core I7 will continue its faithful duty...
