There is an inlet at the side of the "nose" that I don't think was there last year.

No it wasn't. I saw it in the renders and thought of it. I think they vent behind the nose.

The actual photos from the launch indicate a nose solution much more in line with Mercedes than the digital renders? (Which looked more like last years nose)

This is a well designed car. Bargeboards are 5 steps beyond what we've seen from them thus far. Good use of all the surface area available.

If only bargeboard design was all it took. Last year their evolution in this area was basically non existent. So seeing a design with a rethought element isn't a particular stretch on a new car.

If you paid attention last year, they did a lot of testing in that area. The bargeboards are so incredibly important for sealing the diffuser, that yes they will make or break a team. But I digress, we shall see in testing, I think this is head and shoulders above last year.

Not once did I say they were not important, obviously they are, these aren't radically different from last years launch, that wavy moustache element that joined to the body just in front of the cockpit that was added mid last year has morphed into a monkey bench onto largely last year's design. 5 steps forward as you said is a bit of a reach.

I did pay attention. I paid a painful amount of attention at the lack of development which they claim was because all resources were diverted to this years car, the result? This car, where people are highlighting the front wing curve and shark fin. I believe we have to keep expectations controlled here. The car had been shown not even 10 seconds ago when you claimed "it is an extremely well engineered car".
As for the person who said "look at their Innovative shark fin" ...

The wisker/boomerang/upper bargeboard deck, whatever reminds me of the front wing of the gen 1 FE car.

a lot of nice free space between upper and lower suspension arms for nice clean airflow

[bauc]

This back end looks quite neat, a clear evolution from last year
