I have got the thinnest notebook in history.

But only for another minute or so; I really need that last page.

Things will get a lot more interesting when Apple offers this with 16GB internal memory, and giving the user options for CF and an SD card so it doesn't suck up power the way a hard drive does, yet offers the user flexibility to upgrade as bigger media cards become available. The quick startup time would be a bonus too.

One can wish...

apple is speculating with microns or mm's. Who darn care about 3 mm plus, or 1 inch plus screen diagonal. 13.5' screen is the same small screen, you need to atatch secondary moonitor to have serious work on it. Who cares about 1mm minus, if it weights the same more than kilo. Only design geeks to my mind :)

It's a nice, lightweight, thin laptop. No arguing about the technology developments necessary to deliver such a thin laptop...

But, it's just a laptop. UK prices are a couple of hundred quid more than I was expecting for it during the keynote. If I had to buy myself an every-day laptop, and it was within budget, it'd be a serious contender (for me, at least).

The new iPod Touch and iPhone apps are very interesting: again, it shows what software can do if you've got the resources and commitment from top-to-bottom in the company. The SDK next month will be another key moment in the future of the NITs.

It seems Apple are already at "step 4.5", how long until Nokia as a company have the commitment to the NITs that Apple has to the iPhone/Touch? Step 5? After step 5? Of course, they're very different companies, with Nokia having many more products. That just means they're all a little inferior to one or two which have so much *love* invested in them from the CEO down.

Well in my eyes the Macbook Air is pointless. Macbooks are thin enough. You just save over 600€ buying a Macbook instead of the Air and you have a faster laptop. And the Multitouchtrackpad... Pressing a 2key keycombination does the job.

And I don't agree to the "Apple is much further than Nokia". The iPhone's specs suck. No HSDPA and no GPS. No replaceable battery (wasn't there a phone where you could change the main battery while talking because they put in a small backup one?) I tried the iPhone. Some stuff is nice because it's easy on the eyes and the interface looks gorgeous. For the stuff I do with my N800 + my mobilephone the iPhone is no competition. If your iPhone runs out of battery because you watched too much movies over the day you can't call anyone. The only thing I really would like on my N800 is a decent PIM solution.

Re: Macbook Air
 

A big selling point for me! :rolleyes:

Seriously, until the price drops I see this as a niche product for overburdened travelers and the gotta-have-it-now crowd... within Apple's current user base, that is.

and corporate espionage ninjas. Sharpen the edges a little, and you've got a dual function laptop and flying guillotine. Take notes in the meeting, then lop off any heads when people realize you don't work there.

Re: Macbook Air
 

I must say however; that it looks cool :P
lol, ya like that is a reason to buy anything....Yep, me too I am guilty of that.

Give it a few weeks and Dell will release the same thing that will have everyone drooling over. The only difference will be that it's made of plastic, a quarter inch thicker, and have an alien on the lid.
