MacBook Pro?

Ok, Apple have just announced their new laptop, the Intel powered MacBook Pro. Overall it looks good, those speed claims are certainly impressive, however there are a few unanswered questions that, well, need answers.

- How long does the battery last? There is a total absence of any estimates on Apple’s site.
- Where has the Firewire 800 port gone? Is that it for Firewire 800?
- Where is the s-video out? I use that! Any adapter gonna be available to take it from the DVI? The graphics chip is capable of doing it supposedly.
- What the heck is a ExpressCard/34 slot? And what did it do with the body of PCMCIA?
- It’s a little bigger no?
- Why isn’t it cheaper!? (OK, that’s just my stupid fantasies)
Any thoughts?

Well I’m still trying to work out what the ExpressCard/34 is too, and I think it’s a bit thinner. I think they’ll merge the iBook into the MacBook line, and have the PowerBook separate.
