Low performance
Very little is upgradable
Base keyboard has no numeric keypad
Only memory can be easily upgraded
Glossy style display is only option
Expensive
Silly keyboard design
No media card slots. Mighty Mouse is slippery and annoying. Vista 64-bit installation is complicated. No Blu-ray option. No eSATA. No numeric keypad and cursor control on the standard keyboard. Only 90 days of phone tech support.
Still no matte display option. No FireWire 400 port. Compact keyboard lacks number pad. DDR3 RAM still very expensive.
