Future Macbook Pro Turned Ultra Thin?

Shocking but not surprising, news about Apple adapting Macbook Air's ultra thin design on its future Macbook Pro has been spreaded around the world, but is it a wise move? With the hard drive replaced by slim SSD and optical drive ommited, this new Macbook Pro is no longer flexible and business friendly. Though it's undeniable that CDs & DVDs can be replaced by pendrives, its somehow still essential for businesses as some might still prefer the conventional way. Besides, With the switch to SSD, price will certainly rise a lot, as SSD are known to be expensive and small in storage. With a small SSD, storage will become another issue, with the need of purchasing an external hard drive for backup and storage, unless you are willing to spend extra cash on a 512GB SSD. Furthermore, let's not forget about the heat issue. If you are a Macbook Pro user, you definitely would notice the amount of heat generated by your device. Even in the air conditioning show room of Machine, Lot 10, Bukit Bintang, Macbook Pro is still hot, especially at the bottom, most probably caused by the graphic processors. So, my point is, if Macbook Pro's thickness is reduced and the graphic is getting higher, what will happen to the Macbook? Will it overheat faster than before? So far, we don't know.

So, is the changes really good? You judge :)
