And if you dare try to argue about crap such as "but the macbook had more ports :( " ....you don't even know what the macbook was for in the first place. It is for the average consumer, and guess what, the average consumer does not want ethernet or firewire!

As I pointed out in the other thread you posted this in, the last Macbook didn't come with Firewire.

So, get over yourselves. It was a smart decision by apple, and now all apple products will have a more nice looking metallic form.

Bet you love glass and glossy screens as well.


That is all I have to say, Thank you :apple:

HELLO PEOPLE!!!!!!

THE REASON APPLE GOT RID OF THE MACBOOK IS BECAUSE THE BASE 11" MBA IS $999, THE SAME PRICE AS A MACBOOK.

THEY FIGURED, PROBABLY CORRECTLY, THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BUY A $999 NOTEBOOK WOULD RATHER HAVE A NICE, LIGHT, THIN, AND PERFECTLY USABLE LAPTOP, INSTEAD OF A PIECE OF THICK, WHITE PLASTIC!!

And if you dare try to argue about crap such as "but the macbook had more ports :( " ....you don't even know what the macbook was for in the first place. It is for the average consumer, and guess what, the average consumer does not want ethernet or firewire! All the average consumer wants is the MBA with the 2 USB ports, a thunderbolt port, and an SD card reader (for 13" version)

HELLO! ALUMINUM IS NOT DURABLE!

Here's some pics and a link to a thread on this very site. Aluminum does NOT work for some of us! It's soft and bends. Polycarbonate is a hell of a lot more durable. HELLO!

Why are you so adamant that you need to post this same post in every single thread on this topic? It is getting old. You must not have anything to do. Oh, and it's against forum rules to repost the same post the 4, 5, or 6 times that you have. It's considered spamming. Just sayin'.
