The 13" Macbook Air has a 1440x900, the new Macbook Pro has a 1200x800 screen. The Air has a discrete NVIDIA GeForce 320M video card, the Pro has an integrated Intel card. Besides the CPU, why would I buy the Pro over the Air?

The 320M is usually considered an IGP and it's roughly the same performance as the Sandy Bridge IGP.

I think you underestimate the 1 GHz CPU difference. Also RAM slots.

If real, & the Thunderbolt I/O is indeed LightPeak, why would Apple consolidate the port into a Mini Display Port? Seems like an odd fit..

Plug. Plug. Done.

The MiniDP connector is small enough to fit in an Air and already designed for multi-GHz signaling.

Seems to me like it's the next logical step in their current cinema display/USB junction system.

Does it have a DVD drive? (Hoping no.)

EDIT: Darn! (Yes, it does.)

Faaaaaake. That's the mini display port. I call bs on this.
