In-Depth Review of the MacBook Air With Photos

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the long-road-ahead dept.

Engadget has the first really in-depth review of the MacBook Air that I have seen with plenty of great photos and specifics. They do a great job of highlighting the highs and the lows with plenty of concrete examples to back their claims up. It seems that while the MacBook Air is a great step towards ultra-portable computing, overall the pricepoint is just too high. Which is not surprising from a new Apple gadget I guess.

    It's only a skinny laptop. Get over it.

    I think the MBA will be a huge hit with the ladies. I'm generalizing now, of course, but from what I've seen in the way of female fashion and behaviour, "sexy" is a lot more important than "practical".

    No optical drive, only one USB port? Yeah, that settles it - valley girl ain't getting a MacBook Air. Not.
