IDK if this belongs more in technology than news, so you can move it to where ever you see fit. In my opinion, the macbook air looks really cool and high tech, but personally, I'm happy with my regular macbook. I like that it's heavier/thicker because it just seems a bit more rugged and substantial and less susceptible to breaking.  Opinions/Thoughts? |

I'm going to move this to Technology.
 That is kind of crazy. idk if I'd like that. It would rrreeeeally freak me out a lot. I've changed my mind a bit, after looking over it on Apple's site. Though... the whole optical drive thing makes me sad. But I would consider getting one. The price ranges make me laugh. hahaha |

For you guys that dont know, there is no optical drive. so there is no way for you to insert a cd or anything.
but it is called air for a reason, you can install programs or updates through any other computers optical drive, just insert it into another computer then it wirelessly sends it into the macbook air. yea big downside is the no optical drive or replaceable battery. its a pretty cool notebook. and the trackpad is amazing too. |

As far as notebook computers, I'd have to give it to Toshiba Satellites and IBM Thinkpads. Satellite's are awesome notebooks, and Thinkpads are very durable.

For durability, I'd say lenovo.
 They make a tablet PC too, I may get it eventually. Freakin 1,500+ though. I still love my mac. |

Whats wrong with Mac's? They're actually very efficient and useful. But if you want to learn more about computers, pc's are the way to go.
I actually really would like the macbook air considering that I'm one of those people who just love Mac. But like what Zed said, the optical drive really changed my mind on actually getting one. Don't hate me cause I  macs

actually, i prefer pc's. but i dont really know why cuz i think macs are waaay cooler =P
but anyway, i agree that the slightly heavier one is much better, it'll actually make you feel like your carrying something . its like the ipod nano and regular ipod (not the new nano but the old non-video one) and really thing cells |

Oh I'm assuming these are the new macs, highly expensive, but ultra light and bright.
 I'll still to getting a mac book pro if I ever get a mac.

Man, I was watching the keynote updates like crazy today, so I was totally excited to see a new laptop.
I'm a little disappointed by the high price, lack of an optical drive, and the fact that there's only one USB port. BUT IT'S SO THIN. |

Well everyone should have known it was going to be highly priced, most things by mac are. I was actually expecting it to cost more than what it did, close to what the mac book pros are priced to be. So I must say I was surprised by the price, but not by the product.
Even though its thin, I don't think that would be the winning part of actually purchasing it. You can buy the Dell XPS and its like any other laptop and has everything you need and its ultra light. |
