MacBook Air - Ultrathin, Ultraportable

[obemon]

@obemon ... key phrase in your post being "Sure it's not as thin as the Macbook Air".

Yeah...thin is in again I guess.

To sum it up, the Apple Macbook Air is the Calista Flockhart laptop. Overrated, overpriced, and anorexic. (j/k)

lol it's gona break like a wafer in your bag with books. being thin doesnt mean durable.

Seriously, this laptop just doesn't fit the profile of anyone I know. It's just probably for the ultra-hip, toffee nut latte Starbucks-sipping generation.

Nice laptop...13" led lit screen and 3lbs... external optical drive would be needed though

The internal battery is a real downer... not another Ipod like device where u have to send it back to the manufacturer if the battery gets busted.. maybe apple sees this as another throwaway device with the useful life only as good as the life of the battery.

hope it doesnt burn with all its sexiness and heat.

Seriously, this isn't for people who only have one laptop. This isn't for people who have trouble paying off their debt. This is for pure convenience. I already have a laptop. I have two. Would I get this? Sure. It's nice to go from office to office to client to client with just one piece of equipment that slips into an envelope. At the end of the day, I'm not going to carry this on an 8 hour flight across the US to do all my work on. I'm not going to use this as my desktop when I get home. Sure, I'll sync data I have on it to my other devices, but this isn't meant to replace your desktop or your main laptop. Pointing out practicality is completely missing the point of the laptop. It's like saying OLPC isn't for you, because HELLO, it isn't targeted for you.

So many apple products to buy so little money.
