> Three pages in and I’m the first one to note that this thing DOES NOT have a user replaceable battery much like the iPhone and iPods do. Sure you get “5 hours” of battery life but what happens when I’m flying to Amsterdam to see my sister? Halfway through the flight I need to break out that paperback book. No thanks. I’ll pass.

^^  
and it three pages that’s the worst argument against apple so far. I’ve done a lot of transatlantic flying, you’ll never want to watch more then 5 hours on a laptop and even if you did you car just plug in and charge while flying on more and more airlines these days.
