At least, it doesn't work on an iPad mini and an iPhone 6: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTwSGV-F5qg&t=4m11s Maybe on future models. Which would make sense, as the iPhone can now act as your Apple TV Remote as well.
I did some (actually heavy) Googling, and here's how I can answer my question now. Let's use metric units, as they can be more nuanced: Weight of MacBook Pro 13-inch, 212 model: 2060g Battery: 340g Optical drive: 160g Hard drive: 95g SSD: 85g Take out the hard drive, optical drive, and battery, insert the SSD and you get: 1550g. That is 30g lighter than the 1580g 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, including battery. Sounds reasonable!
Is the machine completely sealed, or where air gets out of the chassis? If it has some cavities where air gets out of the chassis, can air (and dust) also get in? How the chassis is similar to, or different from the previous design in this regard?
