One thing it has, and I'm amazed nobody thought of this sooner, is a power adapter cord that sticks on with a not-too-strong magnet instead of plugging in. Tug on it and it comes off instead of pulling the computer with it. I wish I had had one of those two months ago when I tripped over my power cord, dragged it across a mug of coffee I thought was far enough away from the computer, and ... well, you can guess the rest.

I hope everyone goes this route before the end of 2006.

(Hint: pouring coffee into a laptop does not improve either one of them.)
