Display port is a small DVI port (the same signals). HDMI is the same signals as DVI + sound. So why have 2 mini ports for the same signal? There is no difference in those ports except the design.

And does not have enough bandwith to dongle more screens through 1 cable. DVI: Devil Video Interport! :D Well HDMI = Home theater, nothing else.

It has been adapted by many pc laptop makers, and it is available on most screens, projectors and tvs (remember that hdmi and dvi is the same signal, just with and without sound). The use of another mini dvi port does only mean more adapters. In the end making dvi the new S-video with hundreds of different pin configurations I agree, but why not use hdmi?

But the displayport is the coming-gen output. VGA is 200 years old, DVI is too bulky, and HDMI is a Home Theather cable not belonging to to the PC world. According to HP at a seminar, you can dongle several screens with displayport through 1 output on the PC, thus not needing several graphiccards/outputs for multiscreen setups. But Im never going to get an Appleish computah! Cheers Super Basso of Doom Well i agree.

The 4gb ram is quite strange as their desktops support alot more. As a revision this is a minor one, sure the new large touchpad without a button and the multigestures is nice, but it is mostly design. If you want to use it as a main computer maybe the 24 inch screen thingy with more usb ports can be a good choice?
