The included remote
is remarkably sharp and bright, and when placed next to an old PowerBook, we knew that it would be tough to go back., , The included remote, which looks like an iPod Shuffle, initializes Front Row, which resembles a smoother version of Windows Media Center
Apple does not include the Remote Display and a mini Port to DVI connector
No media card reader, no stowing area in built for remote, no dialup modem, expensive enough to make your stomach curdle, and you still need to pour in more to get the peace of mind for the next three years (protection plan), gets really hot at times
The supplied remote cannot be stored in the chassis (unlike other models in where it is stored in the ExpressCard slot)
with sub par quality control
remote now an option
uneven lid when closed, remote now an option
