MacBook Air

The new Macbook Air is out.

*gasps in awe and dies immediately*

Maybe that reaction for serious mac book fans, but definitely not for me.

In my opinion, the Macbook Air (which from now on will be known as an acronym MBA) totally gets in the way of productivity. No CD drive? How on earth is anyone supposed to do proper installations/play music that is on a cd and so on?

Sure, it is light and compact, but does that compactness really count as much as the productivity one needs to get from his computer? Computers were made for a reason i.e. the simplification of work that was once tedious to do. Laptops were made for that entirely same reason, except with the choice of mobility added in.

The MBA is super mobile, weighing less than 3 pounds and is at most more than a centimetre thick. But back to the reason of making a computer, does it fulfill that? Costing perhaps less than a macbook pro, I feel that one is better off getting a macbook pro as compared to getting a MBA... The MBA perhaps is for those people who already have a mac, then just would like to get one of these to show off! :)

Mac fans, don't start flaming me, I love the mac as much as you do, but I think apple has lost the main idea of a notebook in this one.

It is still nice, by the way
