That has got to be the most ridiculous price I've ever seen.....no optical drive, one USB port, less specks than a Macbook for $1799.00....this is nothing but pure unadulterated greed.

you guys realize there's an entire world of non-mac fanboys out there that are business professionals, and 1800 dollars for a slim, ultra portalbe laptop is NOTHING right?

Forum posters are NOT representative of Apple's customer base. I can just see the business person who makes 300k - 1m a year salivating over this.

Get over yourselves. The MacNerd Fanboy market isn't their target audience.

I couldn't agree more. People will love this thing regardless of how some forum posters feel.

I myself would consider one at some point once my existing laptop is on its last legs.
 
Just had a thought...that Superdrive add-on..is the Macbook Air the only hardware that can use it, or would it be something that you can use for another Mac that only has Combo Drive? I've got an eMac and something like that would be ideal. Any speculations?
 
2 Weeks into 2008, Apple has updated Mac Pro, introduced Time Capsule, updated both iphone and iPod touch software, movie rental for iTunes, updates Apple TV apps, and introduces lightweigt laptop, the MacBook Air

rofl.

If they put it that way:

"In just the first 2 weeks of 2008, we have updated the Mac Pro, introduced Time Capsule, software updates for iPhone and iPod Touch, Movie Rentals for iTunes, Apple TV software updates, and MacBook Air"

Makes it sound good. If only we got that much every two weeks.

Anyway, pretty disappointing.

Dont you people understand that this isnt meant for those that want top end performance. Its an ULTRAthin ULTRAportable laptop meant to be ULTRAthin and ULTRAportable. If you want performace buy a MBP. Whats so hard to understand about that?
