I'm not saying you guys who would go for a 32 gb / 5 hrs battery life version aren't out there and there are probably comparatively quite many on hn. You are, as much as it sucks, probably just not worth the hassle. I just don't see a way to market / communicate it without all that hassle.

And something you should never forget. Those 5 hrs are 5 hrs when you buy the device. 1,5 - 2 years later you may end up with 3-3,5 hrs. If those 5 hrs were what you need, you'll already need your first battery replacement.

> Non power users are going to be happy with 16GB of RAM

That hurts btw. :( Let's agree on "non ram power users", because I would probably consider myself a power user but i'm quite fine with the 16 gb of my MBPr 13 from last year.



It is also 5 hours of video playback or web surfing - not 5 hours of "professional" use.
