@civic and lokgotz: Apple recommends that you at least drain the battery once a month - unplug power and drain it until warning pops up.

@minde: illumination can only happen when it's really dark... i.e. night time. the function keys F9 and F10 can be used to adjust ur keyboard illumination.

do u know where the sensors are located?

The sensors are within the speakers.... Just wait till night time and switch off your lights. lol. I'm surprised you haven't triggered the illumination. It should come naturally at night unless your lights are super bright.

doesnt comes out...isit bcos of the brightness of the LCD?

Sorry got another question here. Recently I've been trying to maintain my Wifi connection as much as possible (when I sleep) but everytime I wake up, seems like the connection is broken. No I did not put the notebook to sleep because its on adapter. I only left the display to sleep. Any ideas whats wrong?

And another thing, using "Interference Robustness" means what?

Actually the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse (I assume that's the one tinkerbel is talking about since that's the only Apple Wireless Mouse in the price range of 289/299) has right button function, and 2 programmable "buttons" for expose.

Trust Apple to come out with a smooth sleek design, just because the "buttons" cannot be seen, doesn't mean they aren't there.

its not the design .. its touch sensitive buttons . hehe.
