MacBook Air’s Fatal Flaw: Battery, RAM, HD Sealed Like an iPod
The MacBook Air is an amazing piece of hardware. It’s iPod sexy, but there’s an iPod catch. Because just like an iPod, you can’t just crack it open to replace the hard drive, memory or even battery, according to the Apple employees on the Macworld floor. Obviously a slew of services and devices will fill this battery replacement gap, but just know that when Apple pitches you 5 hours of runtime with the Air, that’s all you get.

Stylish-SHURE-Beautiful even, You might go so far as to say “sexy” and Yes….it’s thin…but…..why on earth would you purchase something that you have no ability to add memory or do a simple swapping of your battery? What if you are in Coach on an international flight and you don’t have access to a Power source?
Apple will “no doubt” be more than willing to change your MBA’s batter for you …..BUT AT WHAT COST??
NO MBA for me….I’ve had enough of this batter biz with my iPods.
No bloody way I’m going to go though that with a high priced laptop-NO MATTER HOW cutting edge it may look.
Shame on ya mate…
