That's unnaccetpable considering my early-2009 MB Pro still seems quite quick with 8GB of ram and a 256MB Crucial SSD. Such cheap upgrades when you consider what they offer. In fact, my only gripes with this laptop are size/weight/battery life. Well, I wish it ran a bit cooler too. I could see myself using it for another 3-4 years actually.
If I had to travel more for work I'd want whatever Air-like guy was out then though.
