• MacBook Air. Gorgeous. I’m going to sit here and figure out how to justify this purchase.
• “The World’s Thinnest Notebook”? The Sony Vaio had it pretty close the last time I checked. But then again, the last time I checked was when I had a Vaio. The Vaio TZ: “3 lbs, .8-1.2 inches, 11 or 12″ display, miniature keyboard, and slower processor.”
• “MacBook Air is 0.16″ to 0.76″. The thickest part of the MacBook Air is thinner than the thinnest part of the Sony. It fits inside a envelope.” How is this even possible?
• 13.3″ display. LED backlit. iSight.
• The kicker is the multi-touch display. The programmability of this feature alone warrants a purchase, right? Darn you, desktop applications and your ability to actually do more useful things that web applications.
• Now, please give me the stats…
• 1.8″ Hard Drive, as expected. 80 GB… kinda sounds like my old PowerBook. SSD as an option.
• 1.6 Ghz, 1.8 option. Core 2 Duo. Pretty darn fast.
• Come on $2K price point. Come on…
• Not liking the fat border around the screen. But then again, some of the volume of the computer has to go somewhere…
• 60% size shrinkage of processor. INSANE.
• Black keys? Whoa.
• PRICE. GIVE ME THE PRICE.
• 45 Watts. Hooray for low power consumption.
• Looks like there’s going to be 4 output holes. Power. USB. Micro-DVI. Audio Out.
• 802.11n. Hmm.
• PRICE PRICE PRICE.
• “Also, software comes with the MacBook Air that allows you to “borrow” a Mac or PCs optical drive.” WOW. That’s. Pretty sweet programming.
• 5 Hours Battery lfe. That is definitely amazing. No other thin laptops give you more than like 3 hours the last time I checked.
• 2 GB. Standard. Delicious.
• $1799.

Uh. Oh…
