"But i've always found the sub notebook thing to be silly. What would you use it for that wouldn't require occasional insertion of a disc?"
I can't remember the last time I inserted a disc that wasn't an attempt at a backup (and so can be done remotely, on a desktop or with a wireless burner) or an OS reinstallation (very rarely done on my mac). Everything else is internet or USB-flash based these days.
Besides, a really small and light laptop that could be plugged into a hub (to turn it into a low-mid desktop) would be incredibly useful to me. I just wish we could get additional features -- like having a real graphics card in the hub, for example (and just integrated in the laptop)...
