"You know you are going to so want one!"

Admit it... You know you are going to so want one!

Heeh!

New MBP, pretty please??]]>Jan 31st 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/

...but I still wouldn't buy one.

MBP FTW.]]>Jan 31st 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Wow, clearly you are one serious fellow.

Not everyone does. There is no point in forcing the MBP to compete with the MBA with your lame "MBP FTW" quote.]]>Jan 31st 2008 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/I only said that so the Hardcore Apple Fanboys wouldn't haze me and would know that I too have love for Apple...I just would never buy this machine and would never suggest someone else to.]]>Jan 31st 2008 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/
Fine.

"and would never suggest someone else to."

WRONG. You need to wake up and accept the fact that not everybody is exactly like you, and that people's needs are different. I wouldn't buy one either, but that doesn't mean nobody will - it serves some people's needs just fine.]]>Jan 31st 2008 2:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/
If people buy it...fine...never in my comments did I say anything about me going around busting kneecaps of every MBA buyer, I just said I would never suggest someone buy it. Come on, why not spend less money, and get a more powerful Apple. I just don't get it. It's extremely impractical and its only real marketable feature is that it is damn sexy looking.]]>Jan 31st 2008 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://digg.com/apple/MacBook_Air_gets_the_unboxing_treatment]]>Jan 31st 2008 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 1:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/It's important for him.]]>Jan 31st 2008 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/Jan 31st 2008 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/31/macbook-air-gets-the-unboxing-treatment/

I’m a professional engineer, working in a research lab, so I’m assuming that I work my computers as hard as anyone else. That said, everything is on the netowork. I haven’t used my DVD drive in 6 months. I know this, because it broke 6 months ago and haven’t felt the need to fix it. I plug my iPhone in to sync and very occasionally find someone who wants to give me data on a USB drive, but the Air can handle these situations with no problem. I’ve stopped carrying my extra batteries in my laptop bag because they just weigh me down and I very rarely needed extra juice.

I’m not saying that the Air is for everyone. But really, some people don’t need 8 USB devices plugged into their computer all the time and aren’t burning DVDs on the road while carrying 15 lbs in batteries because it’s been a month since they’ve seen an internet cafe with a spare power outlet. (Hint: a 3 outlet splitter costs and weighs a lot less than an extra battery.)

Apple has created the sports car of notebooks; a single purpose machine that is very good at doing what it does and that compromises in other aspects. But I think that the Air is for the cutting edge user, not the person still burning CDs.
