POLL Are you going to buy a MacBook Air

[Cybergypsy]

No. I'm a pro user.. so it doesn't live up to my needs.

On a side note I think it looks nice closed, but ugly open (especially the black keyboard)

yea but it growing on me white gets so dirty and gray ok, but can live with it 🙁 This will suit my needs till the next big thing hits....its only money!

It's cool, but it's also overpriced, no user replaceable battery, battery life isn't long enough, and it still has the big bezel that the Macbook has (I have one and still can't get used to it)

I was very impressed initially, and before I looked at it carefully might have considered it, but on mature reflection, no, it's not for me.

Thinning down the bezel on the Macbook and maybe thinning it a little and encasing it in aluminium would have worked better for me. (A 13" MBP)

IF I had an iMac (or Mac Pro), IF I needed a small portable computer occasionally for on the go, IF had money to burn, and IF I didn't already have a perfectly good SR MacBook, I may've been tempted by the MacBook Air.

It's nice but I'm sticking to my MBP. 😀

Man, I am buying one and getting bashed for getting one. It sounds like 2006 when I bought my PS3 and I was getting bashed for getting one. 🙁

to me the lack of replaceable battery is more than enough to not consider this "notebook"

I voted no, but I am not against the concept. I have a Thinkpad X-series and two Psion subnotebooks already.

It looks like a neat machine, actually.

People said that about the 12"powerbook and the cube, which are the most sought after items ever....

I bought two and I am happy 😉

No, a regular MacBook will do just fine.

The White Polycarbonate MacBook is 3x slower than the lowest end MacBook Air, and it does't have Ivy Bridge, 1600MHz RAM, 500MB/S SSD.

Never underestimate the power of Ultrabooks.

The White Polycarbonate MacBook is 2x slower than the lowest end MacBook Air, and it does't have Ivy Bridge, 1600MHz RAM, 500MB/S SSD.

Never underestimate the power of Ultrabooks.

Dude this thread is more than four years old, lol
