SayOne Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I wonder how hot that bitch will get? And only one usb port and thats it? Is the wireless hub thing gonna happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 its obviously not made for people who are trying to replace their tower. it's a more business minded laptop for people who want to cut down on size. pretty amazing what they managed to do with it.

SayOne Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I know but still business applications especially the new office 08 and leopard use alot of flashy graphics and shit, that shit puts a strain on the gpu, which they didnt mention what it was, to get dumb hot.... but cool shit either way..

ezekill Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 no ethernet, no optical drive (the biggest joke, install-dvds are included but u need ANOTHER computer to use them), 1 pound heavier than the Toshiba R500 which also comes with 64GB SSD like the airbook, still too big, only 1 USB jack, no firewire, $3100 for a computer which basically lacks everything just for the benefit of being the thinnest . they must be fucking kidding.

After School Special Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It's dope. But all I want is a smaller Mac laptop. Not thinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezekill Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 the one w/ 64GB SSD and 1.8GHz is $3098 at store.apple.com but even the $1800 they are charging for the one w/ 120GB hd and 1.6Ghz are waaay too much for that wannabe-computer. anything over $799 for this thing is a fucking insult. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellshock Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 plus it doesnt come with a cd dvd drive so to get shit on your computer you need another mac with wifi im sorry im a big mac fan but this thing is just insulting id get a bottom line macbook over that junk anyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Ask yourself this question... Would you rather buy a Geo Metro with 400 horsepower for $799 or a BMW 5 Series with 400 horsepower for $1800? Sure, you'd get the same for less with the Geo Metro but there's a good chance you're going to want to sell the Geo Metro in a few years to get the newest upgrade... you think you're going to get anything more than $300 for that thing... if that? I would think the BMW would give you a better return on your investment. Dig what I'm saying? The Macbook Air is definitely for a niche market and that market is fully in love right now. So don't worry your little noggins about it. It'll be a huge hit and you can stress and scratch you head for months wondering why, how and who. By the time you figure it out, Apple will drop something else for you to grind your teeth on. I sure do hope they offer a new iPhone come the end of summer. Me contract is up at T-Mobile and I'm done with the flippity phones. Time for some next level shit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
After School Special Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Id like a BMW 5 Series for 1800 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezekill Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 i don't buy a pile of shit just because it comes in a nice box. no seriously, for example the MacPro is a fucking great machine for a reasonable price, infact it is pretty much the best workstation you can get for under $3000. the airbook is a joke, compared with it.

ANALPUDDING Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 yeah i knew i didnt look right, but then i thought of the scenario of a scientist nigga doin some experiments and having it on the lab counter, therefore making the device a labtop.

seeking Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 i like that people get actively angry because they think the product would not work for their needs. i dont get mad when pepsi makes a new soda flavor i dont like. "fucking honda is so stupid, there is no way i can put 4 baby seats into the new civic. fuck honda. FAIL" some of yall are so short sighted, i can only imagine you have difficulty putting pants on. this is obviously for a niche market that yall are not a part of. wah. what i love about this is what it will mean for all the laptops down the line. the next series of macbooks will probably be half as thin as they are now. they'll have the multi touch trackpad (which is pretty much the shit) and who knows what other advancements. i wont get an air, because its not what i need, but i also will not get a tower for the same reason. am i mad that the tower is so expensive and bulky? no more than i'm mad that joker doesnt have tits. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
