The big stories here are the $100 price drop and the battery boost:
The new models also received a slight bump in battery life for iTunes movie playback, with the 11-inch model jumping from 8 hours to 9 hours and the 13-inch model from 10 hours to 12 hours.
That’s a nice little boost. Love this update.
I wonder if the price drop will be reflected in Canada as well
“Love this update?” The prices did not change at all in Canada, and the “boost” encompasses all of a 100Mhz cpu bump (imperceptible). Does not seem like the battery was modified at all, since the only rating that changes is “itunes video” which means they simply optimized playback in that area.
I’m really not sure how you can genuinely claim to “love” such an update, especially after 11 months.
I don’t know why you would “love” a small, incremental update. I would actually love one with a HiDPI display!
