It'd have been nice if there was less plastic around the edge of the screen... Thumbs up to Intel for shrinking the processor by 60%!
"Apple asked Intel to shrink the Core 2 Duo. Intel shrunk the processor by 60%. Paul Otellini, CEO of Intel is taking the stage"
"Otellini: The processor is as thick as a nickle and as wide as a dime."
OMFG!!!! 😱

And to think how many hundreds of people were saying:
"There is no way on earth, Apple would use such a ridiculous name as MacBook Air"
Lol 😀

no its not, your macbook is faster, and has more storage space, how is that obsolete?
Hmmmmm black keys and the screen looks strange. How much is the key question. And only ONE USB port :O

1.8GHZ C2D isn't really slow and in something that small I'm surprised they managed to fit something that fast in there.

Much like the Titanium PowerBook IIRC
Was a heat of the moment reaction
Though I would happily pinch that trackpad off it 😉
And on the topic of price, it sure is pricey :/

I won't be, I have absolutely no use for such a machine even though spend a lot of time traveling. I would much rather have a 15" MB and if that doesn't happen I'll buy the hopefully cheaper MBP. 🙄
Looks incredible, will be buying.

Would have been nice to have ONE firewire port. At least you can daisy chain firewire. Just because of that I'd have to pass. I was thinking I could use this with Serato but 80 gb internal is not enough for my music and everything else that I need an external drive. Serato uses the usb port so I'm a$$ed out.
dang it.
