[X4U] MW Expo; I'm underwhelmed

The weight reduction is one good thing.    The thickness  is equally  
as good for some situations.   For my husband - take a flight bag,  
associated paperwork, one company supplied ibm thinkpad, try to cram  
in a MacBook - adds up to a very full flight bag.    For me - after  
travelling so much for the last twenty years, the smaller the bag I  
can carry the better and if that allows me to get everything including  
a laptop into a carry on bag, that is worth it.

I will keep the MacBook Pro at home.

How many people care about the thickness (I don't)?  I think that part  
of why it costs so much is the thickness, yet I would think that if  
they'd gone a little thicker they could have saved money, and still  
come in at about the same weight.  That special CPU can't be cheap,  
and might be the reason for the $550-700 price difference.
