Yes to all of that but comments:

You cannot use mirroring right now. Not sure why.
Sleep works fine for closing, to wake you need to actually hit the power button, but that's not a big deal.
And you can take out the optical drice and put in an add or new hard drive.

Mirroring via VGA or HDMI?
If i can connect my future laptop to my TV and set the TV as extended screen it's perfect.
And after sleep is everything still working?
Last question, is the webcam working? 720p?
Thanks a lot for your help

No mirroring with either. Extended desktop works. After sleep Bluetooth breaks but everything else is good.
Webcam works. But not 720 I don't think.

Last questions
HDMI Audio is working with extended desktop?
And how's the battery life of this laptop?
Basic gestures means two fingers scrolling?
Gigabit ethernet works too?
Thanks again

PS: how is actually the anti-reflet screen? are you satisfied with this laptop?
thanks

HDMI Audio is working with extended desktop? With the update I'm about to release yes.
And how's the battery life of this laptop? Decent for a os x laptop. 3 hours or so?
Basic gestures means two fingers scrolling? Yes
Gigabit ethernet works too? Yes
Thanks again

thanks I like it. I hate glossy. Viewing angle is bad though. I'm happy with my laptop for sure.

I feel like the processor isn't running in dual core. I always have over 50% idle processor. Is there a widget or app to see detailed processor stats?

I'm not sure. Sorry.

Download Menu Meters so you can see the activity of each processor at finder menu(and a lot of other staff) and you can look at Activity Monitor at the utilities folder for details of the running apps, tasks etc.
