  • because apple sucks so much, it can suck it

  • I wish the Macbook Air had the same design as the Macbook Pro with the black bezel and the same trackpad. I see it coming on the next update :)

  • i prefer macbook white (october 2009 version) to macbook air...because da new macbook white is perfect for a student like me , and it has the cd player.

    macbook air has a wonderful design , but is "so air " - LOL

  • Hello, John.

  • i preffer the imac it is better

  • Cool video! That answered my queries on the MacBook Air...I'm not going to wait any more...My friend shared the toll free number with me 1800-425-4646. It has the best offers for Indian students.

  • i thought macbook air can fly

  • PEOPLE! This was targeted a certain group! Not a replacement for the Macbook or Macbook Pro, Sheeesh!!!

  • Must users won't find a need for Cd drive? C'mon!!!!! IT SUCKS!!! RENT MOVIES ???? DAMN!!!

  • wait? one usb? It sucks!

  • I would buy that but it looks like it would break easily if i drop it . Sooooo , yeah .

  • Macbook Air is nice, but it is WAY overpriced. Dx

  • it pretty much sucks. I got my laptop for half that price and it has EVERY feature EXCEPT that it fits into an envelope.

  • AHHHH! I WANT A MACBOOK SOOOOOO BAD!!!

  • what's the song at the end?

  • super thin commodore

  • I thought that we were done with optical disk drives that you have to buy seperatly. I mean, is this the comador 64? No, becuase the comador was cheaper and didn't feel the need to fit in an envelope.

  • T_T were using ethernet, is it possible for macbook air? is there something i can buy to use ethernet?

  • I think you can. I mean you can use Dial Up!

  • how? is it built-in?,, i mean, there is no port for it. just USB, earphones, and (IDK)

  • BUILT IN! Look at how thin it is! No it would have to be external. I think it is on there online store. I think it is for compatibility for the iMac.

  • i would so break that...=\

  • Nice. Very informative. Thank's for posting it up. =)

  • i want to get one

  • Very good choice

  • He is NOT an employee at a "retail apple store".

  • Im gonna buy one sometime after the upgrades come in november ( Coz i was gonna buy one but the memory was to low for me so i got the macbook) But im not gonna sell my macbook, Im gonna have a macbook and a macbook air, Macbook air for taking around, And macbook for watching dvd's and at home.

  • i want itt im gatting it for christmas for sure i lovveee thing labtopp

  • u really shouldnt get it for christmas, upgrades will maybe come after christmas!!!

  • I would absolutely have that... for free.

  • thats how i got mine!

  • Steve Jobs: You rock. Plain and simple.

  • i got dell inspiron 1520 nice 'n' fast.

  • my ass.

  • yeah huh?

    it crashes in less than 6 seconds...

    yeah...nice n fast

  • when says something about keyboard and building it some fancy way or something, he says "We didn't" He doesn't work for apple. He works for an Apple Retail Store. He even says at the beginning.

  • It sucks. The only reason its popular is cause this is the thinest notebook in the world.

    But id rather but a good notebook spec-wise than look-wise..

  • And why shouldn't he work for Apple? :P

  • no dvd drive? i have a macbook pro and love it, but this i think they only made this thin laptop just to show they can make them... terrible creation, awfull keyboard, 1 usb port... terrible, i use 2 to 3 for my things. You can use to level a table or a bed maybe... i love mac but this is not a usefull object, maybe for office presentations, powerpoints and such and that's it!

  • It dosent even have stereo sound IT has MONO OMFG thats ancient

  • I have a Dell inspiration 1521 vista home basic notebook and its pretty nice Ive never used a mac so I dont know what I like better but I rather there be a optical drive in it

  • macbook air sucks

  • got one, its a good laptop, but very limited, i'd rather stay with my MacBook and Dell 1721

  • do they have this in black?

  • does it have a camera???

  • yea

  • mac r designed for technically eliterit ppl

  • like for people who can't spell illiterate?

  • Cool, but expensive for me...

  • "The top two places where manufactures compromise when building compact notebooks is on the keyboard and display, we didn't." so.... instead u compromised on everything else?

  • every time i use it i feel like i am gonna break it

  • OMG that thing is awesome!!

  • is there any one can help me instal the "book"...:-)

  • lame book...

    no opical drive... 2 usb ports....

    how install mac osx10.0.0+???

  • only one usb

  • SCENARIO 1:

    Your operating system dies, after continued errors and lack of maintanence; it finally dies, in a desperate attempt to re-install your operating system, using the disc you were provided. You remember how they managed to 'create the worlds thinnest notebook' [By ripping out some of the most vital organs of a computer].

    Unable to boot the mac's operating system your unable to connect wirelessly to any PC to utilise its CD drive.

    Wow thx mac, once again ur shit products astound me.

  • whatever

  • No optical drive, let alone dvd drive...and somebody please explain how wireless capabilities make up for the loss of a CD/dvd drive....this is BS lolz, and one USB port....woooww.....And to thik i actually considered this throughout the first minute of the vid...I'm going with the Macbook Pro =D

  • Because the idea of having a built in DVD drive in a portable laptop has always been pointless. You can just access drives using wireless. This isnt meant to replace a desktop PC. I don't have a Mac, I've got a Vaio SZ, but I wish it didnt have a built in DVD. An external DVD drive would have been fine and saved weight and space. ALso, MAc book air can be solid state, no moving parts, making it even better as a portable computer.

  • "Hello, does your coffee shop have a DVD drive I can network to? I need information off this DVD, but my computer doesn't have a DVD drive because it's too thin."

    "I'm so glad my computer doesn't have a DVD drive! It saves so much space, all I have to do is carry around an external drive and usb hub because sometimes I like to have more than one peripheral plugged in at once."

    Maybe it's just a difference of opinion, but give me an internal drive over that any day.

  • i agree, a ten inch screened notebook with all the ports and a drive would have been better

  • You know why it's called "air"? It's so thin and light that you can throw it into the air like a frisbee. :)

    The best thing I like in the air is the LED screen, the backlight keyboard and the multotouch-pad.

  • Hmm...

    If you want a CDROM drive without having to install software on another machine, you need to connect an usb drive.

    Now that usb port is taken and you want to connect a standard usb mouse. Then you need an usb hub.

    If there's no ethernet port and you want to connect to a wired network you need an usb network adapter.

    The mini DVI connector need an adapter if you want to connect an external monitor or projector through DVI or VGA, or TV through composite or S-Video.

    No thanks :)

  • Exactly!!

    Thank you!

  • Mac Air is designed to be wireless. If you are too retarded or poor to use simple wireless devices, then stick to your normal heavy laptops.

  • Who wants to take the time to install a program on another computer just to use a CD drive? And no one wants to buy an external CD drive along with purchasing this already expensive laptop. Also, what if you need 2 USB ports? One for a wireless mouse and a printer, or an external hard drive or even all three. Where's the firewire port? Where's the SD card slot? Where's the ethernet port? Sure it's thin, but who cares when you want to use it for something other than putting it in an envelope.

  • I believe the reason for the lack of the optical CD drive is most people don't use them often anymore. i use them to burn CDs and to import music into my iTunes. That's all. So if the only purpose of the CD drive is what I use it for, then it is worth it to save the space and just download the program on another computer that does have the CD drive. Also, there are two USB ports. If you travel a lot, or move your laptop around a lot, it is very practical to have a light and functional machine.

  • macs backwards spells scam! lol jk

    £1 billion for a mac would be a total bargain!

  • There is no dvd drive!

  • Hmmm.. Impressive! Though I like what 5ondleft6ondright said about "MACS Backwards - SCAM" lol!

  • GIVE ME THE OPTICAL DRIVE

  • i hate this guy

  • i hate this guy

  • I Love Macs. MACS Backwards = SCAM. HAHAHAHAHA.

  • omg your so clever!

  • apple backwards = elppa

  • I have an laptop running windows. Yes and it is much larger than the airbook.

    Well it has an internal hard drive so i don't need external (unless im backing up).

    And it didn't cost 3000 dollars.

  • No offense, you could snap that in half easily

  • why would you try to snap ur laptop in half  -.-

  • I just saying that you could not that you should.

  • no you couldn't. it's made out of anodized aluminum, the same material climbers use for their hooks in climbing. it's the strongest laptop ever made, when you hold it you'll see what everyone is saying!

  • still don't want one because windows is a better OS and can play games, has a disk drive, is more easily upgradeable and who needs a laptop that thin anyway?

  • I totally agree, just because it's thin doesn't mean it's better. Sure it may be easier to carry around, but you have to buy so many different peripherals and what if you don't even use that many wireless devices?

  • Reminds me of the Sega Genesis with its addons such as the Sega 32x.

  • um, for students its the best thing to have. a laptop that weighs under 3 pounds, that you can allmost atuff in your pocket, and you dont really need to have games on it when its just for studying and stuff. macbooks are the best things to have when going to college or whatever you do. also on the job, there's no need for some big machine that weighs 15 pounds.

  • i have a macbook and you can't even right click only one mouse and after some time you have to find out where your java script went! it can't play videos without it! and it freezes alot! it already broke.

  • that interesting because everyone who makes a parody of the comercial on hear only mentions the bad features of the macbook air, while you explain it thats really cool.

  • i so want the mack book air

  • I dont like that it doesnt have cd and dvd reader, thats bad

  • I've got a PC, oh no I'm outdated!! Wait a minute I've no need to worry I'll upgrade. 4 GB of RAM, new video card, 90 GB hard Disk, And Windows Vista. I don't need that "MAC". That's the problem with "MAC" every time a new version comes out they just go buy a brand new Macbook, ETC. I'll just stick with my pc THAT I CAN EASILY UPGRADE!!! Besides "MACBOOK AIR" doesn't even have an optical drive so I'll never be able to play "DOOM" or any of my Windows burnt movies. It could brake TOO easily.

  • Well, It comes with remote disc, which is free. Then, it's made out of titanium. Have a question about it? Fire Away!!

  • im yousing a windows vista right now.

  • you forgot the 'best' things about the air, it's battery will last 2 years, then when it dies you cant put in a new one. and it has the slowest laptop hard drive on earth.

    but it's THIN, so ah, well it's thin, yeah, it's the worlds second thinnest notebook. the sony x505, made 5 years ago, is thinner

  • I WANT IT!

  • bad ass

  • too be they only got one color :p

  • i dnt care if u guys dnt lyk this computer but i love it and wots an optical drive cnt b tht important

  • I wonder if Steve Jobs makes John wear the gay black longsleeve shirt.Can you get any gayer?

  • so so so gay...Apple is for pussies..NO Optical Drive? Are you fu*king kidding me? $1800 Id rather shoot myself in the foot.

  • lol

  • wowowowow soo nice. but alot of people prefer macbook pro (:

  • thinnest laptop so far john!

  • Hi John

  • Oh Wow.

    How very Interesting.

  • a beatiful piece of engineering, and innovation.

  • very tempting :D

  • I love the look of this cool piece of technology but am concerned about installing software and breaking it.....it looks cool but a little fragile!

  • the macbook isnt very convienient, due to its thickness....

    just because it's soo thin dosnt mean it can proform better than an ordinary laptop. take this into consideration: looks may be diceiving.

    but dont get me wrong, the mac book can have various qualities, it's nice, thin, it also might be capable, to have the same proformance as an ordinary laptop, but it would be more expencive, but the chances of it running well are highly low.. BUT IT'S STILL A GREAT SYSTEM.. I GIVE IT A 8 OUT OF 10

  • think u could install xp or vista on it? lul

  • actually, you can. using the new boot camp application that comes with the newer models, you can put windows on a mac!

  • i am definatly gettin one it looks realy cool.

  • Men and Inches, like they never grow up.

    I'd rather have a '10" ultra fat' todger than a half inch laptop though.

  • that its just a stupid justification: "if you dont have money..." the true results are that these "mc book" its a machine that rely on others pc to hace true comunication with the most comun task like listen to a cd. what would you do if you dont have another pc near and you want to install a game or a program?

    so in conclusion its an incomplete machine.

  • I make my entire career thanks to macs. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Games are fine if you're a 13 yearold lifeless kid, and these 'programs' you're talking about are a mystery to me. What would I do if I had a PC and I wanted to.. do my job? I'd throw it out the window and get a Mac.

    Also, I don't think the Macbook Air is all that great for me. I need a powerful machine to do my video/audio work. Don't talk down to Macs when you don't know anything about them.

  • 2Shay man i would trow my ps out a 80 storie building if i had a choise of getting a mac

  • I had ten days working 17 hours out of every 24 with both Macs and Windows. Working with word processors, audiovisual stuff, spreadsheets etc. The works. By day three, the new macs were slow enough that I was ready to throw them out the window, but the windows pcs were still running fine. I certainly know which I preferred from that fiasco. If I had to see the spinning rainbow wheel one more time...

  • Shit..what would you do? I don't know..get the superdrive!?!

    Fuck...yeah, why spend $200 or whatever it is when you can go all out and buy a whole pc for a simple thing like a cd drive.

    Look, I like Macs as much as the next person but all this crap about needing another pc is bullshit and you all know it.

    So it doesn't have a cd drive, so I don't like it. I'm not going out pay out something they've mitigated to a large extent.

  • shut up

  • Oh snap, how constructive.

  • Sit back down...

  • who needs an optical disc? just download the image on bitorrent.

  • Hehe, finally someone's talking sense.

  • (took a long ass time)

    to the dude above. i like macs a lot im just sayng that the mac book air rely on other machines (not pc`s exclusivly) to do all the task u could want. and another thing: sometimes u just dont have a conection to internet and just have the cd. So to end my argument i would just go for the regular macbook. its thin enough and have a cd drive and a dvd burner...

  • Hey if you dont have money to buy one..then stop complaining and just buy a calculator....

  • So the whole point of having this thing is only if you have another computer to use with it? Man.. so wouldn't that add to the price overall? My computer cost me $2,000.. plus the $1700 for the MacBook air.. putting me at $3,700 total for my Macbook, oh and don't forget if you wanna get the SSD (Which is the freakin' point of subcompact notebooks) I gotta spend $999 for 16GB less space? Please, this thing is a fad just like the MotoRazr was, and look how many people hate that thing.

  • its pretty much the anorexic laptop.

  • lol

  • "man, what were the wright brothers thinking? they flew that little hunk of junk through the air when they could have came up with a fighter jet. now that is a fine piece of machinery. they just whined because they didn't have the engineering. pssh, just holding out on us."-is this logic?

    i have an idea. how about getting excited about a new product that is several years ahead of its time? or just bitch about it like a tool. p.s. you don't HAVE to buy one, ladies. it's easy to complain, huh?

  • I´m the 58 000 watcher, yaey

  • if it was a $300 cheaper and had a dvd drive or if it was the same price and had a hddvd it would kick ass i mean it is still cool but a bit too much money but you now how mac is good but still a bit too much compared to pc computers

  • He said pc!

  • you idiot! it IS a pc. It just has a different OS(if you know what that means).

  • go 2 1:55 ,Preeeeeeeeeeeeeesentation! lol

    Y do americans wrk in inches and pounds? I hate pounds n imperial stuff, so confusing!

  • Because we are AWESOME like that...lol, I dunno Ive been living in Italy for a year and honestly I do think we are the only people on earth who use miles, inches, and pounds. But admitably our system is easier

  • wtf no way its heaps more complex...?

  • Uhh, no it isnt, inches n pounds n stuff is just confusing- America needs 2 come into the 21st century...

  • It just IS centimeters take too long to measure man, and 135 pounds makes a me feel better than being 70 Kilograms (it just sounds anorexic).

    Honestly when my friend told me his brother weighed 160 Kilograms I thought it was normal size...until I saw him...

    oh and macs rock.

  • i want one :(

  • i want one for my b-day

  • macbook air is crap!!!

  • why do you have to get a guided tour? its a macbook which is easy to use just thinner than hell.

  • MACS ARE GAY.

    thogh i wouldnt mind buying the air to install vista on it.

  • It looks REALLY small compared to him at 00:42

  • No its not the thinnest in the world, nor is it the lightest. Sony beat them to it. Why would you need a backlit keyboard? you should be able to type without looking, also the light from the screen should suffice if he says its as bright as it is.

  • sony sucks monkey balls. macs rule

  • yeh, macs are the rulers of garbage.

  • hmmm...

  • wow im absolutly amazed no really i am it does all the things a regular p.d.a. does ...but in computer form and costs 10x as much wow apple youve really done it this time oh well at least i can play games when im on the plane ill just whip out a disk and ...hey who stole my dvd driv..oh it doesnt come with one.

  • that thing is freaking beautiful but form y personal needs i'm eyeing the macbook pro

  • why get something like that when you can get the Sager NP5792 notebook for just over $200 more (if both have been upgraded)

    compare these specs with mac book

    Core™ 2 Duo Processor @2.6 GHz

    4GB RAM

    Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTX Graphics with 512MB DDR3 Video Memory(runs Crysis nicely)

    200GB Hard Drive

    oh and it has a battery you can replace your self(ever had to take out the battery on your laptop so it would actually shut off ... with Macbook Air you CANT) so if you need to your F'D in the A

  • Because the MacKiddies want their laptop to be 3 pounds or less. They can't stand to carry Laptops that are 7 pounds... it hurts their little shoulders..

  • lol

  • i know its "built for the wireless world", but sometimes even that computer doesn't get wirelss, and theres no plug for an ethernet cable!!!!

  • well i kinda have a theory that if i drop that its as done as my last 2 razor phones...

  • how much does this cost in POUNDS £££???

  • starts at 1300£

    i think, or 1200,

    basically a LOT lol

  • what r u english or something? why do u need to kno how many pounds it is?!!??

  • OmGG!!! SUM1 FROM ENGLAND ON THE INTERNETS!!!1

    I can tell that you were 13 just by those two sentences.

  • No Shit Sherlock, wtf? do ya think? If I asked how much yen it was, where the fuck would I be? Hawaii?

    -sorry for being harsh, lol. I like answering stupid questions when I bored.

  • Yeah...I'm English. Not everyone is a pathetic American. Man, get an Atlas. It's a big book that shows you all the countries of the world... and there's another big place called 'Your-up'!

    God what is wrong with u Yanks???

  • English people don't use the internet? :o

    Also the world is flat and the moon landing was fake.

  • It says in the DESCRIPTION "Starting at $1799 €1650." Heck, you don't even have to hit the more button! Please start thinking a little.

    Sorry if that information wasn't updated Before you asked a stupid question.

  • That's in Dollars and Euros ya dick

  • we KNOW! lol UR the dick. everyone knows what $ and euros r (duhh?) god..be4 u call someone a dick, get some sense! do us a favor.

  • ...and there's ur fucking answer! aren't you a smart one. the reason for that is so that Americans AND Europeans can know the price. I guess you just learn something new every day. now don't come up saying that not all europeans use Euros, because I know that, and I know not only Egland uses Euros.
