Very light, very thin, but - like the old original Mac - it's a box with no expansion and no replaceable battery.

Looks like a nice, useable portable. According to gizmodo, you can't open the case: no adding RAM, no replacing the drive, can't access the battery.

There is an optical drive available. There appears to be a drop-down door to allow access to the USB port; if the ports are standard size, all current devices will work.
