Apple Announces MacBook Air

[motulist]

This is gonna be SO expensive... (waiting for the price-shoe to drop)

 

[thechidz]

Has anyone mentioned the thinness of this thing?!?!?!?

 

[Locker]

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%!

 

[KingScooty]

"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

 

[squeeks]

Its near invisible from the side.
Man my MacBooks now obsolete

no its not, your macbook is faster, and has more storage space, how is that obsolete?

 

[Slip]

Whats SSD BTO?

Option of a 64GB SSD drive Built To Order
80GB 1.8" drive as standard

 

[Pointer]

Hmmmmm black keys and the screen looks strange. How much is the key question. And only ONE USB port :O

 

[xUKHCx]

its slooooow though

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

 

[squeeks]

1 USB ports?!?

 

[thechidz]

gonna a fragile mofo...

somehow I dont thiink so... would defeat the purpose of the portability. but we'll see.

All I know is if the price of macbook pros drop cause of this im gonna be P*%*^&

 

[squeeks]

Whats SSD BTO?

solid state harddrive, no moving parts, only available in built to order machines

 

[sevimli]

How big the power adapter????

 

[ascender]

The features and a large part of the design will be dictated by the form factor though.

 

[j26]

1 USB ports?!?

Hubs are cheap

 

[CWallace]

No optical drive included, but only a $99 accessory for external.

Hubs are cheap

And small.

 

[squeeks]

HAHA only 5 hours of battery life, how pathetic

and of course thats exaggerated so its closer to 4, ill keep my MBP k thx

 

[aswitcher]

I would like to get recommendations for a good sleek hub

 

[notjustjay]

$1799. Ouch.

 

[Slip]

Hmmmmm black keys and the screen looks strange.

Much like the Titanium PowerBook IIRC

no its not, your macbook is faster, and has more storage space, how is that obsolete?

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 :/

 

[Locker]

$1799 - owch for the specs on paper - nice though! I think I'll be getting one.

 

[squeeks]

hmm, guess they dont want to sell many

 

[NightFlight]

All I know is if the price of macbook pros drop cause of this im gonna be P*%*^&

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.

 

[Scuba Steve]

Looks incredible, will be buying.

Bring on "OMG am I not going to be ablez to play Crysis at full rez, boo" posts.

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.
