Something about MacWorld: Apple's MacBook Air

Steve Jobs has been talking about new things today. Well, old things done a bit differently, mostly.

But this is the pick of the bunch, his new laptop. The MacBook Air. It's thin. Not just a bit thin, but thin like in Heat magazine's Thinnest Celebrities Danger Diets Revealed! thin. Thin like Posh Spice after having the flu (the actual flu, not just a cold) for a month.

Apple MacBook Air

It has a 13.3" widescreen LCD display, a mini 80GB hard drive out of the iPod range, turns on instantly, does wi-fi, has a webcam and apparently that's a full-size keyboard. It is really quite small indeed and admittedly a bit pretty, plus it might actually run software thanks to having a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo inside. Full specs here.

We are not excited, though, as it costs $1799 which is an unusually high "cool premium" even for an Apple product.

That's it for our coverage of MacWorld. Tomorrow we shall go down to PC World and see if they have anything new out in retaliation.

Damn, it's always cheaper in America.
"The laptop weighs 1.3 kilograms and costs £1,200"
Should be £899.50, but no...

Hope the keyboard is waterproof, else it'll get clogged up with Mac-fan spunk within days.

I hope it's as delicate as looks.

Then hopefully the oh-look-at-me-i-think-i'm-superior-to-everyone-but in-reality-i'm-a-tit-head* that sits opposite me at work will sit on it, break it and cry.

Just watched Steve Job's presentation, goes a bit like this:

"It's a thin Mac"

CLAP, WHOOP, HOLLER

"it's got a screen"

CLAP, WHOOP, HOLLER

"it's got a keyboard"

CLAP, WHOOP, HOLLER

you get the idea. Mac fans are freaks it's not even got a dvd drive. Fools. They have been ripped off.

Well. I can't remember the last time I actually put a disc of any sort into my PC. So dragging out an external one every now and then wouldn't be a hardship?

But still, over 2 grand for that. Fuck off.

"US price doesn't include sales tax..." which is £300?

Is that like the 100% sales tax on vista?

Oh right.

Fuck off and die.
