I definitely want to pick up a low-end Apple laptop for casual use (personal laptop for business travel, vacation, and surfing from the couch). At $1k+, though, I can't justify it when I could just use my work Thinkpad.

OTOH, if the new Macbooks aren't all that impressive I could probably pick up a lightly-used previous gen one for $700ish.]]>Sep 15th 2008 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/are NEVER seen in a sentence togther sooo

Can the MacBook Air play DVD? I didn't think so... What could they possibly rip off the Air to make it smaller?

I'm a Mac fan, but I cannot figure out why someone would want a MacBook Air. I would take a regular MacBook over the Air any day. I do love my MacBook Pro though.

P.S. Yes... I know they have an external SuperDrive, but that doesn't count. Who is going to whip out their laptop and external drive on an airplane, or on a road trip?

Yes, and very very well.. Here is a macbook nano, which is atom based.

Plus, the Air was designed to be thin, not "small." There is a definite difference in those two words. A Macbook with say, an 11 or 12" screen, DVD drive, and optical disk, enclosed in an aluminum case could very well be small, if they were to package it right.]]>Sep 15th 2008 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/
I was referring to the Atom's processor power... could it handle editing video with iMovie, or playing video?

If a $650 Atom powered Mac laptop could only be used for browsing the web... why get it at all?]]>Sep 15th 2008 6:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/
Let's not forget that the atom processor is still more powerful than the computers that professionals were using for "serious movie editing" mere years ago. The hardware is the same as it always was, but the marketing changes our perceptions of it.

Who is going to whip out a DVD? Just load a few movies, ripped using handbrake, before you leave and your set. Not to mention the fact that battery life will be better when watching a movie.]]>Sep 15th 2008 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/Sep 15th 2008 10:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/
The OP said he wanted a Macbook with an Atom. I was just asking if it would be as powerful as a Macbook with the current processors.

A cheaper Macbook Lite with an Atom would be fine... as long as they keep regular the Macbook with a Core2Duo. The only laptops I see using Atom processors are netbooks... which is a far cry from a full Macbook.

Atom is great for small, low cost laptops, but will we ever see Atoms in full sized notebooks?]]>Sep 16th 2008 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/Sep 15th 2008 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/Sep 15th 2008 5:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/new-macbooks-already-shipping-hitting-stores-september-23rd/
