^^same. what about HD space???

[Terenus]

It's kool, but battery, HDD, and memory are not removable. I don't know about that.

[drmosh]

The SSD is like a 1200 option... 1799 for a regular HD, 3000 for SSD... wtf...

PHUCK APPLE

[antics22]

Apple has always been overpriced with their things not to mention their crappy support. But they sure do make some very sexy things.

I think form and function is something to think of with this one. at 3lbs and only .76" thick, its basically got everything you need for a nice transportable device if you travel alot. I bet this would be pretty handy for tuning...

I'm not getting one because I have a macbook pro (and dont really like it)... but I have to admit, when I saw this, it got me interested.

looks nice...ut kinda expensive for its specs.ilproll stick to my macbook pro

[kimletrim]

There's nothing really innovative with the Air other than the form factor. Other than the light weight and thin as a wafer size, the specs don't impress. Its got a slow and relatively small hard drive, only one USB port and no optical drive! I'd be afraid of breaking it.

It sure is nice though.

^^it has the touch trakcpad. meaning u can use the trackpad like u would an iphone
it would be great for pix, zooming in and rotating with your fingers.
just wait a few months, it'll drop in price

[Jenn@ttech]

I wanna buy one for my man. :smitten:

[Alucard]

It's definitely a nice laptop...but that's about it, for me at least. I don't like the whole "no optical drive, 1 USB port and no ethernet and no user-replaceable battery" combo, it doesn't fit my needs so that's why it doesn't appeal to me, other people might think differently.

[djspeks]

did you guys look at the prices for these things?.....

1,799.00 for the 13 inch 1.6 GHZ and 80GB PATA drive

3098.00 for the 13 inch 1.8 GHZ 64GB solid-state drive (SSD)

i don't know why they offered a $1,000 SSD drive when they could have provided a bigger PATA drive for less. Â*

They should have thought about the people who don't want SSD.

[vial8or]

than again member those mini laptops (umpc i think they're called) like the sony that went for $2k????

lots of shit gets overpriced. especially cuz this is apple it will be overpriced too. and they will make millions off their loyal sheep

but i still think it looks nice :)
