Apple MacBook Air: Hands-on Experience
Sudeep Naik, Feb 12, 2008 1206 hrs IST
All these days Apple kept saying there's something in the air; finally, it arrives.
When it comes to building suspense, speculation, and a customer base with even the slightest rumors of a new product development plan, no one beats Apple. People have been going gaga over the MacBook Air from the day rumor-mongers dropped a hint about it. As the specs and pictures rolled out, it was clear that Apple definitely had an Ace up their sleeve. Well, now that it's out, here's what we think.
Yeah, we've heard it all before, and although there was much debate and speculation about it, the MacBook Air is the slimmest commercially-available laptop.

looks beautiful...I have a nano and a shuffle...and they are beautiful too...but if practicality is the order of the day...then we have similar devices for 1/2 or 1/4 the prices of macbook air. Every man his own choice...once again it is not about a CEO owning a macbook air. Anybody these days can buy anything...if they keep an eye on newegg/tigerdirect :)

I am very sure that Apple did not consider anyone using the gross acronyms a.k.a "LOLL" and "ROFLOL". So yes, you can call them "mindless", carry on God, a great mind-FULL reaction from you!

a few things to mention here........ yes of course it's worth it. 1.It has Mac OS X which is approx. 10000000000 times better than windows in looks,security and simplicity and in numerous other ways. 2.great thing abt one usb port as if ur using some 128 usb devices at the same time go buy a USB hub. 3.X300 costs more and has a slower processor. 4.the macbook air boasts better battery life too- 5 hrs with wi-fi turned on.And it's wireless n. 5.It's light,compact,good looking has bluetooth,integrated webcam etc. etc. 6.I can't see any reason why you would want a DVD drive except to watch movies......in that case what on earth do you use your home-theatre or portable video player for ? that concludes my speech.

The Laptop is for use as high end device. It assumes good penetration of WiFi which is not correct for India. But WI Fi would be available at most of metros and so the laptop would be useful in metro cities.
