Apple Unveils MacBook Air
Jan 15
Today was the highly anticipated Mac World keynote. Lot of speculations were running around the internet, maybe the biggest one was the new MacBook Air one, turned out to be reality and Apple announced it today.
It is the slimmest laptop computer to date and pack some impressive features. Like the 13.3 inches led screen, 5 hours battery life, 3 pounds weight. What look like a nice ultra portable laptop. You even have the possibility to order it with the 64 gigs SSD drive, which sounds good, until you look at the price, over 3000$ for that version…DAMN!
I just don’t see the point of buying a computer like that, I mean the only real point of adding the SSD hard drive would be to have better performance, but then at that price, if you want more performance, why not go for a MacBook Pro. Of course it’s good they release it to the mass market now price will drop and bla bla bla, but people need to buy it for the price to drop. And who in the love of god would go for a 3000$ laptop that don’t even have 2 usb ports, or a graphic card, or a network adapter, or a 15 inch screen.
I guess it’s just the ultra portability tax that apply. It’s still an interesting product, if you compare it to other laptop in the same category it’s cheaper and looks more interesting.
I guess I’ll to get my hand on one to forge a real opinion on it.
