I like the way he says "It's got a natural carbon fibre weave". Carbon Fibre isn't natural and so doesn't have a natural appearance! And he pronounced 'chassis' wrong.
But what's really the point? Nothing has really been gained here, except for the proof that it can be done. And from the photo, the image on the display doesn't even line up at all. There was just no need.
haha, we don't all talk like "guv'na" you know. and for future reference, thats 2 dialects mixed together. northeners say 'aye' and southerners say 'guv' (although to be honest you probably wont hear anyone say it)
haha these guys are suckers for apple. the fact that the macbook air has a hard drive from an ipod is pretty bad and slow. 4200 rpm?! are you fucking joking?! nobody can get away with putting that kind of tech on sale in a laptop. unless they dress it up in a shiney case... oh wait, the have.
I reckon its Vista still. I'm not aprticularly knowledgeable when it come to computers, but I noticed that when you pause it at 2.47 it says "Windows Vista (TM)" and the copyright is dated up to 2006, not 2007 or even 08. Is this usual for a test version? Or has someone just applied a new theme or skin to vista to make those slight graphical alterations, including sticking a 7 where you would usually find the word Vista
