	It's expected that Apple will launch a redesigned line-up of MacBook Pros in the very near future. We'd like to know what you think will be the "killer feature" of the new MacBook.

	Ashleigh Allsopp, I imagine the speed boost from having integrated Flash storage and a much lighter case (if it goes down the Air route) will both be huge benefits.

	Ashleigh Allsopp, I think that the killer feature will be an aggressive price.

	Ashleigh Allsopp, A killer feature for me would be to confound the rumours and still have a 17" MBP. It will become impossible to do high end video and imaging work on the road if the 17" goes.

	I reckon retina displays [one possible reason they'll drop the 17"] and/or Air-style cases are on the way. I don't see price reductions happening... Oh and it's probably a bit too obvious to say quad-core, particularly in a current-sized casing.
