Can it run OS X (Without cheap hacks)?
Is it the thinnest notebook on the market?
Does it have an Apple warranty?

I'm fairly sure the answer to all of those is no.

Neither is the AIR so STFU!

Does it have an Apple warranty?
Every manufacturer has its on warranty, so how is this a relevant point?

He was just saying that it is weird for someone to tell everyone that he will be sticking with his air for a while more. A macbook air has nothing to do with a netbook, so you could say that about any notebook, such as "eh, i'll stick with my XPS 1530 a while more". Who cares. An air is not a netbook.

btw, who cares if it has an "apple warranty", or run OS X "without any cheap hacks". I'm quite happy with my Dell next business day IN HOME repair. I don't have to go to some stupid mall and wait on line for hours for some jackass to say my issue is not covered by the mighty mac warranty.]]>May 31st 2009 3:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/
So you tell others not to be stuck up, and yet do that very thing in your post.

btw, I completely agree 100% with what you wrote in the last paragraph. Every manufacturer has its own warranty policies, and having the name "Apple" doesn't automatically make it better.

Before some Apple fanboy or Jobs worshipper calls me an Apple hater, although I have a PC at home, I use Macs in college. I think both OS's are competent, in different aspects.]]>May 31st 2009 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/May 31st 2009 4:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/I've already done my first semester of college.

Interesting points. I suppose if thinness (portability), multi-touch, OSX, and fault tolerance (warranty) are important to a person, an Air might be worth the extra $1600.

Of course if a person also happened to want a netbook they could go ahead and buy this HP and also a TouchSmart tx2z.

Then they could have an ultra-portable with multitouch DISPLAY, OSX (admitedly with hacks required, but simpler ones as it has a built in ODD), and also the extra convertible/tablet function.

As far as a warranty goes, HPs is pretty good. And if you're really that worried about it, for the $1600 price difference you could (almost) buy TWO, and just keep one as a spare...]]>May 31st 2009 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/

I currently have a HP1000 running Leopard, and while I love it to death, it's not for everyone. The air is not a netbook.]]>Jun 1st 2009 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/31/hps-mini-1101-up-for-order-customizations-nowhere-to-be-found/
