OOS.
I am about to spend many hours on 4 plane rides.
My next Apple laptop will likely be a version of this 12" MB.
Why? Because it does 90% of what I need, in a far slimmer form factor than this 15" MBPR.
What I don't like:
1) No standard USB port. I know I can bring an adapter, but seriously. Needs one normal USB port.
2) The battery life is not nearly as good as the 13"MBPR. I truly want more than 4-6 hours if I'm going to travel with it.
Apple added a couple ports to make the MBA really useful. I'm hoping they will do the same with the MB, but I admit I may be wrong.
The battery life should get better with the newer Intel chips. I'm hoping Apple has hit the super slim category by being able to be used all the time on a plane.
