MacBook Air: Vent or Praise in this Flamewar Thread
Apple’s products are usually divisive, but it’s rare to see the kind of “I LOVE IT, YOU SUCK!” and “I HATE IT, YOU’RE AN IDIOT” reaction they’ve gotten with the MacBook Air. Well, here’s a post for you readers to go nuts in, either explaining to the world why the MacBook Air is the harbinger of the apocalypse, or why it’s the beacon of light that will save humanity from a future stuffed full of thighs crushed by heavy laptops.

It’s thin and if you dont need the missing features, it is for you. For most serious geeks out there, it wont cut the mustard.
No doubt it will sell well with the collar up, aviator wearing i-tards currently sporting their touch for the rest of the world to see.
its a great product, the needs to be 1000 dollars cheaper for it to a viable product for the NORMAL people… you know those with a budget, a family, etc… all the normal things in life.
i-tards? Grow up.
This isn’t a geek’s computer. Apple isn’t a geek’s computer shop. Apple is a computer store for people who need to use their computers, as opposed to bragging about the specs on message boards.
It’s light, has a full sized keyboard, good battery life, it’s fast, durable and sleek. It’s very usable and quite affordable.
It’s a good machine. Kudos to apple for continuing with bold design choices.
MickeyM, I’m glad you know its durable.. Its been out for what.. 0 Days!! WOW! I cannot compare any other laptop to that kind of Durability!!
You cannot remove the battery! YOU CANNOT REMOVE IT!! ITS INSIDE AND YOU CAN’T TAKE IT OUT! When your on a long trip and your battery dies and you go ‘oh snap before i’d just whack in my second backup but the battery is hidden inside away from my grubby grubby mittens!’
This is an expensive Craptop to not be able to do anything but view internet and photos.. Its $300 more than a top spec MacBook.. And a few hundred less than the entry level MBP.. If you just want to veiw internet and photos buy an EeePC, BUY 5!!
um…no fire wire, no disk drive, small hard drive, no swappable battery – no big deal.
remember when they brought out the Quadra or whatever it was without a floppy drive and everyone flipped out? Could be the same sort of thing with the lack of a super drive, but still – if you want to pop in a cd or dvd you don’t want to find another computer to put the disc into – and if the whole point of thin is to lighten your load that you prob don’t want to carry the external drive either. or the USB modem, or the USB ethernet…
ok, so it’s thin – man, how many of you out there have been complaining that your current macbook pro or ibook is too thick anyway?
they’ve solved a problem nobody had.
show me a fast as shit macbook pro with 1T hard drive that never displays that damned spinning beach ball. ever.
pop the beach ball!
After having my Mac Book Pro’s Battery DIE and then Expand to 4 times it’s original size.
1 month after the warranty finished.
This computer will be COMPLETE Destroyed in one year and one month.
It’s a disposable computer with an expensive price tag.
Sure you can replace the battery, if the old one hasn’t buckled and broken all the other closely packed components.
WARNING DO NOT BUY THIS COMPUTER UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO THROUGH IT AWAY IN ONE YEAR
No firewire… um, firewire target mode anyone? one great feature that’s unique to apple gone. no swapable battery… big no-no in laptops. drive? you CAN get by without it, just leave home prepared next time. and you really don’t need ethernet if you have wireless n. love the design, and if that’s where new macbooks are going (minus battery) can’t wait. ahead of its time (when cds, dvds, blu-rays are none existent) and way too pricey.
Conclusion – wait till the price for making them comes down, add back in firewire, and have a swappable battery.
Macs have never been for serious computer users.
MickeyM, you need to be a little less obvious about your iLove.
Mac’s have always been for people that are more about form, than function. More about showing off, than actually working.
I think the macbook air is waste of time and effort, and is nothing more than an attempt for Apple to continue to appear “innovative” when they have nothing.
Seriously, Is this the best thing they could use to show off at Macworld ?
Pathetic.
More Pathetic is the fact that Apple have once again shoved their ipod nano sized penis’s rudely up the end users tightest of tight anal passages, and people are STILL loving it.
Talk about an abusive relationship that one should really get of…
