Macbook Air

Posted 01/15/2008 at 12:51 pm in Apple

How sweet is this?

The only drawback to its awesomeness is its lack of an internal optical drive, but I suppose that most folks using a subnotebook could care less. Plus, Apple can sell an external Superdrive for $99 now.

This mother is THIN. I’m still leaning toward the standard Macbook, but it certainly is an appealing option. I just want to be able to watch DVDs that I own without having to import them using HandBrake.

As for the rest of the announcements…

iTunes Movie Rentals - everyone saw that coming.

Time Capsule - cool feature for Leopard users. Wireless backup. Pretty neat.

New iPhone and iPod Touch features - The Touch is much more appealing now that it has Mail. Until the iPhone comes to Sprint, I won’t buy it. I MIGHT buy an iPod touch now.

    Another drawback: battery is not user replaceable. Fine for an iPod, not fine for on the go computing.

    Another major reason of why I’m leaning toward the standard Macbook. Still, I’m bummed they didn’t drop the price at all on the MacBook regular.
