i only want to make 1 statment,
Mac book air is full of HOT AIR.
Spot on! Hence the popular use of the sentence "Steamy Hot Sex". And, Sex sells! :bsmilie:
I think a lot of you are missing the point of them creating the Macbook Air.. There are a lot of people who do not need the power, ethernet, extra stuff etc.. they just want a notebook for them to carry around easily, do their emails, surf the web, organise their photos etc.. Actually isn't that most ladies?? So it does have it's market segment.. even some power users may want to get it for it's portability..
But do you want to pay SGD 2988 for the lowest model for almost nothing? The thing has got nothing other than a CPU and HDD and screen, no driver. With the MBP at least it can do more.......why pay more? Just for the design.......????I think a lot of you are missing the point of them creating the Macbook Air..

Not everywhere there is Wifi, some hotels still need to use a cable, so Ethernet connection is still useful......I wonder why :think:

The CPU/motherboard is so small it may actually be made smaller like the Kojinsha/Asus eeePC, but they wanted a bigger screen.......

That's what I mean, you pay for design, but portability means there is less inside, meaning again, you pay more for less?? I have an ASUS eeePC, and there is less inside, but I do pay less too! Perhaps they have very similar size motherboards. Are we suckers? I don't mind people buying it, but understand you pay more for less actually..........it is something I won't fall for.You pay that amount for portability, less weight and its thiness. Its made to cater for different market. Its not for spec conscious buyer.
what's wrong with paying for design and slimless?
If there are people out there who are willing to pay for features, I don't see anything wrong with paying for design and slimless leh.
Don't understand why features and spec are more worth the money than design? Maybe I shouldn't be studying design as people just don't appreciate design and not willing to pay. I better quit and become an engineer. :bsmilie:
If you use the laptop everyday you will need several features the Macbook Air doesn't have. You still need to carry extra items if you want a DVD writer, etc......what's wrong with paying for design and slimless?

You can buy those portable batteries in Sim Lim, think it can be connected to the Airactually,
I would pay for slimness and design but there are basic requirements that portable laptop should have.
I feel the fatal flaw of the macbook air is not that it is not fast enough or anything but the battery issue. Short battery life and cannot be changed by the user..... I just cannot understand why they sealed the battery compartment. It is totally insane.
one year down the road, the battery will be < 3hours usage... then either have to live with it or buy a new battery every year.
Frankly, if they only let me carry a spare battery or has battery life similar to sony's ultraportable's (around 10 hours) then the laptop is attractive to me.
