Still too much for a pretty design with very limited power and you still have to buy adapters

I love my rMB. It has plenty of power and is super light. I use it for consoling into routers/switches all day and fun at night.

If they came with more than one USB port, they wouldn't need to be discounted by $300. I'm still patiently waiting for Apple to release a version 2.0 of these for the real world.
