1. After paying close to 3K for some "world's thinnest" piece of technology,
2. You get only 1 yr Apple manufacturer warranty
3. You can choose to make that 3 grand piece look amazing by paying a base price $500 for it
4. JUST say screw Apple and their way to rip buyers off and get the nice blackness from the X300 Lenovo's.

End of conversation]]>Feb 18th 2008 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/2. The 500$ paint has nothing to do with Apple really.
3. It should be Lenovo's X300, not X300 Lenovo's (unless you meant more than one lenovo)]]>Feb 18th 2008 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/

Also, the color change is from Colorware, not Apple. It has nothing to do with Apple. I assume $500 is just what it costs to paint an aluminum laptop well enough so that it doesn't look like a hack job.]]>Feb 18th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/
The X300 is made out of plastic and will be less 'solidly built' than the Macbook Air???? Utter nonsense, please dont comment when you obviously know nothing about the X300 nor have seen one, the X300 has stainless steel hinges, a magnesium rollcage and a patented top cover mixing carbon fibre reinforced plastic and glass fibre; the X300 may break rather than dent in the face of high impact but the X300 is sturdier than the Macbook Air no doubts.]]>Feb 18th 2008 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/Feb 18th 2008 12:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/

back on topic, you can paint your car for cheaper than that.

wonder if MAACO would paint an Air?

Heh, now people get to shell out more money to get something they can't upgrade. If I had enough money that I didn't know what to do with, I'd surely go for it though. I am not going for it.]]>Feb 18th 2008 1:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/Feb 18th 2008 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/
My wife and are sharing a laptop. Neither of us needs one full time, just for occasional use here and there. OS X was an absolute requirement. I was about to buy a MacBook when the MacBook Air was announced. My wife's biggest concern was that she wanted the thinnest laptop possible, in order to carry it in her bag without adding to the bulk. Light weight was a bonus and we didn't want a cramped screen or keyboard. We looked at the MacBook and she thought it was thicker than what she had in mind.

She went to a conference today and this morning she showed me how the MBA fit perfectly in a small slot in her bag. There's no way a MacBook would have fit in this slot, it would have had to go in another area of the bag which was already occupied by other things (notebook, folders, etc).

So I looked at the options and decided that the MacBook Air seemed like the best fit for what we needed. So far, it's been perfect. I have no interest in paying $500 to turn it lemon yellow though.]]>Feb 18th 2008 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/Feb 18th 2008 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/Feb 18th 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/Feb 18th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/Feb 18th 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/Feb 18th 2008 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/Feb 18th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/
I use an electrostatic painting process where the positive charge holds a polymer paint on the metallic surface until it is heated and then the paint looks like glass... and it isn't an inexpensive process. Maybe this is what they are doing!

As for me - I like my 17" MBP - played with a MBA at the Meyer Centre here in Brissie and I prefer my MBP. I am sure there are squillions of people who feel the MBA works for them but I am not one of them. Great idea but needs some tweaking. ]]>Feb 18th 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/18/colorware-attacks-macbook-air-with-crayons-comes-out-with-35-fl/
