Come on Apple, you can do better .... Apart from that slight pet peeve of mine, those looks like really great replacement for my now aging MacBook unibody.

They want you to get the new Thunderbolt LED Display which has a gigabit ethernet adapter built in.

You can buy a third party one based on this chip:

This is still the same 10/100 adapter. Not a 10/100/1000.

They could probably make a thunderbolt -> ethernet connector, but it definitely wouldn't be $29.
