Here's hoping, but I'd personally be annoyed by not having the extra
mouse button (do the laptops come with two yet?), and the keyboard
layout would get to me.  Those aside, I think the overall design and
attention to detail could be well worth it, especially in a laptop.

I mean.. a nicely backlit keyboard.. that alone.

I did some poking around, and it looks like even the more dedicated
sites don't have any info on these as yet.

(not that it's a particularly popular site in the first place..)

In theory, the comments in a couple of the Slashdot threads on the
topic might come up with something

I'm not sure any of the Mac/PPC sites are agile enough to tune into
the new hardware quiet yet.. or at least any newer info hasn't quite
made it into google yet.  I'm not in tune with the older
mac/PPC+Linux-centric sites as yet, but those might be a good place to
go.  Wish I could post some links, but I'd be stabbing in the dark.
