Apple Macbook Air- Envy of All
So you’ve probably already heard about Apple’s latest Macbook, the Macbook Air. The Macbook Air is currently the world’s thinnest notebook at 0.76 inches in width and 3 pounds in weight. The Macbook Air sports a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of memory, 80GB PATA hard disk drive, a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display, keyboard with backlighting, spiffy multi-touch trackpad, Bluetooth 2.1+, and five hours of battery life. Unfortunately, the Macbook Air completely lacks an optical drive (you’ll have to purchase an external SuperDrive for $99), cannot be user-updated (battery replacements and the like must be done by Apple for a mandatory price, of course), and has a ridiculous price of $1,799. Oh, and if you want the 1.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and the 64 GB solid-state hard drive, then you’ll have to cough up $3,098. Yikes! So, while the Macbook Air is an aesthetic winner, its high price and lack of an optical drive may make would-be consumers wary.
