I saw it and thought the exact same thing. For all of the great design work that Apple does it is a real shame. But it occured to me that the shape is made so that the device just looks like a flat plane when viewed at an angle (and what we are looking at is the breakdown of this illusion). To me that they are trying to cheat by creating an illusion of extreme thinness instead of designing something to be really thin.
Its ugly and from a design standpoint the dishonesty of form is a really big turnoff.

And they dropped optical drives and (probably) easy RAM upgrades to make it work. Now you'll need an external drive and also some big suction cups if you don't want to pay Apple's crazy RAM prices.
