Unibody enclosure and NVIDIA chipset will make it impressive enough. Make it easier to change-out the memory, hard disks, and video card and that would be even sweeter. It should also get Apple's mini-port. :)

Three months is plenty of time for Apple to change their mind. Seeing as they've been on the Blu-ray board since before the first trademark (when the brand was "Blue-ray") and have yet to ship a drive or compatibility. Sure...
