The 2010 Macbook Air
150 words.
So I’m looking over the new Macbook Air announced the other day. It’s a beautiful piece of hardware, but at 11″ and 13″ and only a 1.6 GHz Core 2 Duo it seems like more of a “couch” netbook than a productivity laptop.
Which I suppose must be their goal. But I just can’t figure out why anyone would pay $999 all the way up to a jaw-dropping $1599 for something just to email, surf the ‘Net and play Farmville while you’re watching TV. I mean, who’s going to do anything serious like edit video on this tiny thing? You can get a Windows netbook to do all your surfing for under $400. Or you could go crazy and get a serious business and modest gaming laptop for like $800, still well under the price of a Macbook Air.
Apple continues to be the Bose speakers of the computer world.
