A year later Engadget will have rumors of a new version fixing the problem where the old version did not actually have an opening. You had to cut one end off, insert the contents, then use Apple branded tape with pictures of Dear Leader's face printed on it because any other tape is incompatible to seal it shut. Apple fans will declare the new version revolutionary, wait in line for hours to get iEnvelope 3G, and deny the existance of the previous version and its shortcomings. The usual crew will spam any article about Windows with only the word "iEnvelope", and yell that Microsoft is blatantly copying Apple when they send mail contained in cheap knockoff non-Apple envelopes, which were created as a response to Apple (because envelopes did not exist before Apple invented them).]]>Jan 18th 2009 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/Jan 19th 2009 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/Jan 18th 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/Jan 18th 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/The MacBook Air is a homerun but now you will be adding a.....Let me see....

this would be, in my opinion, a HUGE mistake.

Anyway, making a 15" version would defeat the whole "Air" suffix attached. They could call it the "Thin". but that sounds really stupid.]]>Jan 18th 2009 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/

In terms of size, I prefer the thin profile to the smaller screen. Apple sells to a different market than that which would buy most ultra-portables, so I think the compromise was good. Attach it to a monitor when you need more... But, I barely notice the thing in my messenger bag, and the power adapter is small enough to not be a nuisance. It's a touch slow, but that’s compared to a desktop. Again, most of my work is actually client service, and revisions and such. I hop on a larger machine when necessary, that is increasingly less often.]]>Jan 18th 2009 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/
Oh - battery life too. If it has 8h, I am sold. The only problem now is that I was going to get the 17" MBP. But a 15" MBA with long battery life would be even better.... damn.]]>Jan 18th 2009 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/18/apple-working-on-a-15-inch-macbook-air/
I now use my MacBook as my primary machine for Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver. It has the same screen as the Air (i think)

It felt a bit constricting at first, but I quickly got used to it, plus as an added bonus I can do my dev work on the couch while watching BSG and Hogan's Heroes.

Personally, I'd get the MB over the Air, or the MBP over this rumored Air. I put 4GB of RAM and a WD Scorpio Black 7200 RPM drive in the MB and it smokes. (as in its really fast and yes, it does get a little warm)

If the rumored 15" Air has 4GB of RAM and that super duper battery from the 17" MBP, and a 256GB SSD I'd reconsider. Then again my rig cost about $1,800 with all the upgrades and taxes. A 15" MBA with 4GB RAM and a 256GB SSD is going to be a lot more than $1,800.
