Early Review of 11" Macbook Air
adeelarshad82 writes "Apple's latest entry into the ultraportable space is no netbook, even though it's the closest the company has come to making one. Its chassis is, amazingly, even thinner than the original MacBook Air, with a screen two sizes smaller. Moreover, the MacBook Air's 11.6-inch widescreen is not the only first for Apple; so is its 1,366-by-768 resolution. Although Apple found a way to squeeze in two USB ports and a speedy solid-state drive (SSD), the MacBook Air (11-inch) is not nearly as feature-packed or as fast as the rest of the MacBook family, primarily because its 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 Ultra-Low Voltage (ULV) processor is running on previous-generation Intel technology. Still, it will give the latest batch of Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) laptops a run for their money."
How can you guys say this is a netbook? It's WAY too expensive.
Yes, good call. Including a recovery disk with a laptop that doesn't have a disk drive would certainly have been questionable.
I want you I need you But-there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you Now don't be sad 'Cause two out of three ain't bad
Am I going to buy one? Let me sleep on it, baby, baby Let me sleep on it... Let me sleep on it, I'll give ya my answer in the morning. Apple Clerk: "I gotta know right now!"
Care killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
Steve Jobs:
"Hey, remember when I said that netbooks aren't good at anything and that they're just cheap laptops?
Well... I fixed the cheap part!"

Of course it's iCrap because it is made by Apple! Otherwise it would be Krap, GCrap or MS Crap.
But... the future refused to change.
