Multiple puzzling decisions -
1) The Esc and the Space keys are the two I most often use without looking - now I have to f*ing look down to hit esc?
2)What about a hard boot? Is the power key now a soft key as well? Non-removable battery and a soft reboot key do not make a good mix
3) Key press and travel distance look to be shallow - not a very satisfying experience
4) Please don't make it any thinner at the expense of ports or battery life
5) The charging port is no longer Magsafe
All in all seems a bit more gimmicky and "change for change's sake" rather than a solid upgrade

Non-removable battery and a soft reboot key do not make a good mix Are you seriously implying that you think that Apple would make a laptop whereby if it kernel panics and you need to hard reboot, now there is no way to do that because they accidentally made the power key a soft key? (And I'll add the power key has been a soft key for some years now already)
