I'm thoroughly impressed with what apple's engineers have done to build this machine. However, at the end of the day, its still a laptop with a 13 inch display and 2 usb ports. It's impressive, but I don't think the device is worth over 900.

My self-worth won't let me waste 1800+ for a laptop that's easier to get out on an airplane. I'll think of this as a concept device. At the end of the day its just a thinner, less functional macbook.]]>Jan 15th 2008 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 1:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/

Not a bad strategy, and I don't see much competition here, design-wise. ]]>Jan 15th 2008 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/No mention of included graphics anywhere.
1 USB = lame. how hot will it get? 45nm chip I assume?
Doesn't Toshiba have a 2.7lb one with a DVD drive?

Then the Air will still be thin, but heavy, short on battery life, and without an optical drive.]]>Jan 16th 2008 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/
And the Sony only has a 10" screen vs 13" for the macbook. And all the small sony's are incredibly expensive. ]]>Jan 15th 2008 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/Jan 15th 2008 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/
And blimey $3,098.00 (for the other model) into £2,028.00!

I used a currency calculator on x-rates.com
It gave me £914.545 and £1574.90 as an equivalent...

Apart from being thinner (for which you sacrifice a load of ports), and a little lighter - it's still 13.3 inches. I can't understand why anyone would really want one of these over a macbook or macbook pro.]]>Jan 15th 2008 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/15/sizing-it-up-macbook-air-vs-the-rest/
