Let me plug in a flash drive, or card reader.  More importantly let me control a DSLR from it.  As it stands, I'm better off spending that $500 on a cheap PC Notebook.  Shoot, I can get one of those for $3-400 that will do what I need, and a lot more, except I don't want the headache of supporting a Windows laptop.  Apple needs to stop this BS of restricting the usability of devices!

that's exactly my problem here. i need a cheap(-ish), light laptop to take on my photo trips for simple editing and keywording in lightroom. i'm looking at some cheap netbooks but i can't get myself to support and troubleshoot a windows machine… my solution: a second hand macbook
