MacBook Air
what do you think about apple's new computer?
yea
Yes it's thin and Mac fans with money to blow will probably end up buying one, but they are way over priced and to be honest I would rather just buy a mac book because it has more options at the same price if not cheaper and that for me person makes up having to sacrifice the size of the laptop which wouldn't be that much to be honest.
Overpriced compared to regular laptops, but manufacturers have been shrinking the guts of laptops for years and then selling them for a tidy profit for years - Apple is nowhere near the first to do it.Quote:

external dvd burner?? no thanks.
i own three macs and when i saw this i laughed i would never buy this machine. its a waste of money and i know for a fact that there is a real bad over heating problem. and it makes life difficult and its hard to work with. flip down port is stupid and its based on itunes buy our movies who needs dvd's? its a stupid idea.Quote:

There is no overheating problem, they're using intel's chip thats supposed to be released in 2009 I believe its 45nm process and its only clocked in at 1.66ghz(?) so there should be no heat problem at all but yes the whole idea of it is stupid but its just for the fan boys to salivate over.Quote:

i'd say wait for the hype to die and let em come up with an upgrade for it or for the price to drop. the current price point it's at isnt' worth it imo.
too bad, MB Air just has USB port, really wonder why Apply has remove FW away :(
The real problem with the macbook air is that you pay a lot for the size of the computer. So if you don't need a really really thin notebook, you can have a really better laptop for the same price.
cus usb's just more popular..Quote:
