Wafer-thin notebook rumors true
From CNN's Dan Simon
Apple will, in fact, release a new kind of notebook computer. It's called the MacBook Air, Jobs announced.
Jobs said it is the world's thinnest notebook -- just .76 inches at its thicket point and .16 inches at its thinnest.
"We're talking thin here," he said.
The crowd went crazy over the the new laptop.
There's no doubt that it looks impressive. It has an 80 gig hard drive and a built in iSight web camera.

The MacBook Air is built to be a wireless machine and does not have a built in optical drive. You can buy a disc drive as an accessory.

Here's some of the basic features:
Weight: 3 pounds
13.3 inch display
Full sized, backlit keyboard
2 GB memory

Price $1799.00

It's scheduled to ship in two weeks.

Some Apple stuff I like, some I don't. I've never been a fan of the apple computers, but this would make me think twice about my next laptop. Considering I already use external CD/DVD drive/burner and external hard drives I wouldn't be worried as much about the lack of the drive.

Thoughts?

Neat-o, but will they sell an accompanying cd/dvd burn drive for $1k?

 

[dmention7]

How much for the breaking-in-half insurance?

 

[mndsm]

Apple is expensive.

I may just get an apple next though

Ive always been extremely anti-apple/mac, but that thing is sexy! And OS X is pretty damn nice...hmmmm....

 

[mazdamn02]

I like Mac for home, and whatever at work is cool as long as there is tech support.

 

[spek1098]

Sexy and all, just to bad it's an Apple.

 

[ij1889]

pretty cool stuff, but i got a question, why is the apple guy always wearing black???

 

[dmention7]

So are there pics that I'm not seeing? Cuz there isn't much sexy about the pic in that link. Looks pretty damn generic to me.

Most people here know I'm a pretty big Mac user, but even I'll admit that $1800 for that thing is too much damn money.

BOOOOO!!!! CRAPPLE!!!!

 

[mazdamn02]

You're probably a closet mac lover!

One neat thing about this is the availability of solid state memory, 64GB flash, that's sick. I like it.

I admit I like the way most Macs look cuz they're all cutesy and colorful, but not worth paying the premium for since there's nothing else good about them.

Apple thrives on cache. They'll release overpriced gizmos FOREVER as long as they can make it look cool.

IT FITS IN A MANILA ENVELOPE!!!!

 

[dmention7]

Well, damn dude, why didn't anyone say that sooner!? I never bought apple laptops before cause I couldn't afford the computer AND a suitable case. Shit, I can gank a manila envelope from work for free!
