MacBook Air

Postby unriggable on Wed Jan 16, 2008 10:13 pm

Check out this shit.
Just to give you an idea, it's about three quarters of an inch thick, has less memory than the cheaper MacBook, has no CD drive, has a smaller screen...and is 2000 bucks. Worth it?

this guy in my capstone class wet himself when he saw the ad they did for the thing. It is pretty neat how it fits in a manilla envelope though.

I love MACS for video editing, seeing as i do quite alot, and that is not worth it. I quite like the 2006 MacBook, they are nice, but the sucky thing with the one's our school had, was it didn't burn DVD's. so we would have to copy it onto an external hard drive and burn it on one of the iMacs, blah.. but i don't go to that school now, its the senior college for me =D
That is really not worth it, if i were going to buy a MAC, i'd go one of the 2006 models, best ones out, by far, and i think, by the sounds of what Apple are going to come out with in the near future(next 2-3 yrs) they will still be then. =]

I should actually say, you would probably find that, there would be a portable CD/DVD drive somewhere, probably some separately. They would probably be costly, seeing as Apple comps only usually work with Apple hardware, blah, apart from portible hard drives, but then again, im not too sure about cd roms and such. maybe you could just get any external CD/DVD drive?

No way. So it fits in an envelope - so what? How is that of any benefit to anyone?
It will not make girls want to sleep with you, it will not make you more productive, it will not let you watch DVDs or rip CDs. It will make your arms sliiiiightly less tired when you lug it around. And it will make you look like the sort of person who would shell out £1,000 for a pretty low-spec laptop merely because it fits inside an envelope, i.e an eejit.

The Air is supposed to appeal to those who want an emphasis on ease of mobility.

a) I've never had a hard time moving my Macbook
b) It's gonna suck to have to move not only your computer but also your external DVD player/CD rom
c) I want to bend it like Beckham and see how long it takes to snap in half
d) Why would I pay $400 MORE for the above things?

It's funny that the stock of Apple went down a bunch when it was released...

Great a $2,000 calculator.

Thank you for another wonderful invention Apple. No doubt this will be the tech advancement of the year like the Iphone was last year.

Apple is the equivalent of the naked emporer for consumer electronics.

The iMac G4's and the 2006 MacBooks are good, but the air, i'd like to smack the person over the head with a 2x4 afew times to get it through his head, that its a piece of shit.

Apple are good for two thing, and that is iPods, (mainly, though the battery goes in them after a year or 2) and the G4's... Thats it

Yeah, it's pretty much for those people who sit in public spaces with their laptop to work on their writing.

Now this is something awesome. If I had 380$ spare it would be great.
