I’m glad the rumors of the MacBook Air were true. It is a thing of beauty, albeit an expensive thing of beauty.
Many things were announced, including updates to the iPhone and iPod Touch (including GPS! Freakin’ finally); a new version of AppleTV, which I believe is merely a software upgrade to original boxes, that is everything that the original AppleTV should have been; TimeCapsule, which Doc and I might want to explore; and of course the rumored ultrathin notebook.
I’m looking to get a notebook computer some time this year, but I have never been an early adopter of new products. I don’t think I can justify the $1800 for this (or $3100 for the version with the flash hard drive).
But damn, it’s sexy!
that is one sexy machine. they tech specs aren’t all that impressive though (no replaceable battery? what the hell!). that being said, i still really want one!
Yeah, I know. Maybe in version 2….
I think it’s a shot across the bow as it were. I think they are telling the industry what the future will be like and to get on board much like they did with so many other products and concepts… remember the cry to heaven that went up when they dared to release a computer without a floppy drive?
Apple is demanding the world go wireless… Ports?! Optical drives?! thats sooooo 2007.
Having said that I would never buy one unless I didn’t already have a laptop and even then the week video and slow-ish HD may hold me back.
