Macbook Air
Wednesday, January 16. 2008
Wow ... the Macbook Air is really a cool device. Excellent design, the multitouch trackpad is a killer and itīs thin, really thin (at least when i see it on the webpage). Itīs so thin i would be in the fear of breaking it when i use it 
But i will not bite my back. The Macbook Pro was a better choice. The MacBook Air is optimized to be an ultra-thin, ultra-low-weight subnotebook. The MacBook Air has a fixed battery, Thus the Air would work until Greenland in Lufthansa Economy to the US (power sockets irst and Business Class only) . It has no Gigabit Ethernet. The graphic card is a shared-memory one (you have to wait how this works out with Lightroom or Aperture).
The only point to be jealous: The Macbook Pro looks so clumsy now ...

Yep, to me perfect but without too many things 
. What I mean is, at the end of the day you have:
1) a very small mac
2) an external plug from Ethernet to USB
3) an external DVD/CD writer and reader
Maybe if you wanna use it with a bigger monitor and a different keyboard in your office, you need a USB-Hub (MacBook Air has just one USB, used to Ethernet) so... you 'll have so many stuff on your bag more than a normal powerBook 15".
It's funny ... ... ... but I'll buy it !
