lol, the macbook air keyboard reminds me of the old spectrum 48k rubber keybords
Personally I find the device damn good looking, but it's just not feasible at that price point.
I'm currently using a Dell laptop and granted, it doesn't look as smart as the MacBook Air but it cost a lot less, performs a lot better and has a battery I can change.
Sigh.
I wonder what all the posh chumps at uni will have in a few months...
Oh, and the battery isn't removable? The only 'consumable' item within the laptop... isn't removable? I guess iPhone owners haven't been stung by dying batteries yet, and haven't realised this is a really BAD thing... so they'll be buying one of these too.
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
also it makes recycling a lot harder too.
most people still chuck things like this, but taking the battery out is a hudge envorinmental saver. Most concils take batteries away in the recycling bin seperately.

So what if it's thin? It's not like laptops were 10 years ago when they were hard to lug around.
I like it - I'm looking forward to seeing one in real life though...
typing on it could be 'interesting'.
I'm not a fan of regular laptop keyboards, so i'd be intrested to have a play with one, as you say in the flesh.

I have a Sony TZ at the moment and I got to say I'm a big fan of it - thing with a lot of these smaller notebooks is the compromise...
I'm not impressed that Apple seems to be charging a huge premium for a 64GB SSD drive...
and its almost certainly going to be just a samsung one too.
(based on how much of the worlds flash apple apparently buy.... damn bloomberg is handy!)

heh - its suprising.
I'm also confused why they didn't put a slot loading DVD drive in it.... like others have done....
Yeah I was blown away by the price, but if you take into account that is smaller than a 2.5in disc it has to be much pricier to buy.Originally Posted by DR

a 2.5inch disk is about .37inch high, given the overall size of this thing, i wouldn't be surprised if they where using regular laptop hdds, rather than smaller ones, this is espesually true as most SSDs are in regular standard size packages.
the thing is the SSD is great for laptops, but the price marketup they have is insaine!

They are using 1.8" drives, the same ones in the iPods.
I'd be worried that I might snap it in half!
Yeah they are so even less space to squeeze in a SSD.
