Bigger Does Not Always Mean Better
I love articles that mention “the company unveiled” something from Apple. When has “the company” unveiled anything recently? Steve Jobs unveils things, but the company doesn’t. Steve Jobs is a genius. It’s that simple. He’s so smart that people attribute his ideas to a whole company rather than mentioning him by name.
Anyway, the whole reason I made this post, is I want a Mac now. I’ve toyed with the idea for a few months, but now I really, really, want one. I am not sure if I want an Air, but I do know I want a Mac either way.
Apple has pulled an ultrathin notebook out of its innovation hat. The company unveiled the wireless MacBook Airat the Macworld Expo on Tuesday.
MacBook Air measures 0.16 inches at its thinnest point, while its maximum thickness of 0.76 inches is less than the thinnest point on competing notebooks. MacBook Air boasts a 13.3-inch LED-backlit widescreen display, a full-size and backlit keyboard, a built-in iSight video camera for video conferencing, and a trackpad with multi-touch gesture support so users can pinch, rotate and swipe.
The only thing I find wrong with the MacBook Air is the fact that you can’t replace the battery, well, and the fact that it only has one USB port and no firewire. But I could live with those last two items, it’s the battery that concerns me. Heck they could be selling it housed in a top of the line Chrysler 300 accessory and I would probably still be interested.
I know everyone is posting about the MacBook Air, and if it wasn’t for the battery issue, I would be getting one as soon as I could. I haven’t seen one in person yet, but I know the moment I do, I will want one even more.
