If people are going to be limp wristed queens about this, why can't they be a little bit more consistent with their criticism? Besides, isn't it a lot more satisfying to go after a company in Cupertino that prides itself (and is indeed fellated by the teeming millions) on its (typically) great sense of aesthetics and design than a company from Round Rock that (typically) can't design itself out of a bland, black box.

I love you Engadget (and Darren Murph), but don't spend all your time masquerading for the poltroons and forgetting about your more discerning demographic.

anyway as much as I like options, it's good for Dell to have at least one laptop that's all high end in its class
when people compare how slow their PC is to their Mac, they seem to neglect that the PC cost them half the price because they don't care to customize with higher end hardware, where as Macs tend to already have them ]]>Dec 26th 2008 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/Dec 26th 2008 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/
And while the first gen iPhone power addapter was bulky, it did not look that bad. It worked. And then the new 3G USB power adaptor is a dream come true, nice and small, well designed (Ignoring the fire issues, but they did fix that with the greed dot edition.)

*I *used* to want normal USB. Then, I wanted mini USB. But there has only been three major changes over the while line:

Firewire to iPod
>>
USB to iPod (with lock)
>>
USB to mini iPhone (without lock)

And the USB to iPod and the USB to mini iPhone are interchangeable. So I don't mind the fact that the cable is not USB, because with each purchase of any near-current iPod (except for the nano) you get a cable that is interchangeable between almost all iPod models.]]>Dec 26th 2008 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/

The Air was also one of the first mainstream ultra-portables... its possible that Apples research determined that most people that needed an ultra-portable laptop didn't need a disk drive.

Your comment is like saying "Take that (most PC laptops), the entire Mac lineup has built in iSight." Theres such things as external webcams, and theres such things as external disk drives..

Go back several years. Look at the Sony X505 and the Toshiba R200. Both of them lighter than the MacBook Air. Both of them thicker than the 'Air but so marginally so that it's an academic argument. When the Air came out boasting of its revolutionary thinness, I looked over at my wife's R200 and laughed at the absurdity of it all. Oh yea, it's got two USB ports too. The front edge is tapered too, but nobody was clever enough to make the tapered edge the biggest selling point. ]]>Dec 27th 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/Dec 26th 2008 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/Dec 26th 2008 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/26/dell-adamo-rumored-to-boast-displayport-blu-ray-drive/
