This is surely a nice update. But I _really_ miss configuration options. The only option seems to be

1.7GHz i5 -> 1.8GHz i7

No choice of flash no choice of ram :/ I love my current air. It's a really nice piece of engineering but even 4GB of ram are sometimes full. With an more powerful CPU more RAM would be a nice choice...

TB, Backlit KB and a faster CPU are very nice though.

The NVIDIA 320M of the previous model did not have dedicated memory either.

I think the RAM is soldered to the board, to save space and weight. So it's really hard to "configure". :)
