  • the problem with macbook air is they need to lower the cost and classify it a netbook. because when you compare it to there pro model and even dell laptops and such its vastly inferior and not a whole heck of alot thinner than a macbook pro (which does fit in a envelope) but if it was about persay 600 bucks and classified a netbook it would kill in ratings and be head and shoulders above all other netbooks

  • 

  • the problem with you people is that you only use one or the other. I have used both and they are both good at diffrent things.

    I usaly go for the pc because they are cheaper not because they are better.

  • Macbook Air for free at Macbook7. com. You're lucky! good video...

  • *sigh* so pretentious...

  • mroe like teh macbook air the worlds shittiest laptop

  • Built for "apple fans"

  • That song makes me sick.

  • me too

  • is it because the holocaust? fuck you all!!!

  • Stupid twat, what has her being a Jew got to do with anything.

    Can't I dislike a song, if the musician happens to be Jewish, or do I have to like any horrible whining noise a Jew should happen to make?

  • could anyone tell me who sings that song?

  • Yael Naim

  • I'v just bought one, there GREAT!

  • "MADE FOR THE FUTURE" 

  • been using apple since I was 5

    now nearly 30

    amazing what theyve done to popularize technology

    arguably the greatest company in history

  • That is exactly what makes so many sick.

  • to me why wpuld i spend the money when i cpuld get a pc for less than half the price of the mac.

  • This computer makes me cry.... I it is total CRAP!!!!! I just bought a 600 dollar Satellite A215, which is bigger, but runs circles around this crap. 80 GB standard? WTF PCS, come with min of 120GB. 1.6 GHz???? MY 600 dollar Toshiba comes with 2.0.Just $1800? Good G-d, i can get a brand new XPS for that, and still have money to spare for apps. Also, guess what comes standard on all pcs.... A optical drive. I could go on about how this is one of the world's worst computers, but I have to go.

  • You obviously know very little about hardware based on your observations on CPU clock speeds and HDD technologies...

  • i know that mine is better then that piece of crap, and AMD has better core architecture then Intel. I know that solid state is the best, but mac book air comes with 4200 rpm standard, and the standard pc comes with a 5400 rpm, the fore faster, and dell and many other pc makers offer 7200 rpm and solid state for less then mac. And the Video card on most macs is not even dedicated, slowly macshit even more.

  • Erm, what? AMD with better architecture than Intel? I dont think so matey, the latest Intel dyes are far more efficient and far faster. Even AMD's latest Phenoms cannot keep up.

    All standard spec machine come with lower end hardware, its called business you rectum. And I dont know what a 'standard' PC is, as there is no such thing... You paying for quality with Mac anyway.

  • your paying three times as much as you would from an equal pc, and AMD at lower level can compete, i use both and know that you are right at upper GHz like 3 then inter is better.

  • Its because this computer is too thin for your heavy hardware. Take a look at the ThinkPad X300. A PC! Which is .10in thicker than the air, hasn't been released yet. This pc costs 2x as much, has a 64GB hard drive, nothing higher (the macbook air starts at 80GB). It has a 4hr battery, the air has a 5hr.

    The air has innovation pcs can't match. Even the first competitor to the air couldn't win.

  • ffs who gives shit.. 1st thinkpad = windows. i cant be fked learning how to use a mac and the compatability because everything else uses windows (is there a reason for this?) 2 my computing power needs aren't that high. "make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler"... based on itunes, i feel adds more crap to the task. i just wanna drag the files over. inb4 petty shit

  • It was funny how 2 or 3 sec. after the commercial started, a girl walked out. She's like "I ain't buying that!"

  • Its easier jsut to have one MacBook. Simle

  • Simple/\

  • what song is played in this commercial?

  • yes i did. it is called new soul by yael naim.

  • it's called new soul by yael naim

  • thank you so much!

  • its called "new soul" not sure on the artist

  • got it

  • Yeah u dont need a dvd drive if you have another comuter right next to you. then why have the macbook air in the first place? would be awsome just to make it a bit thicker and put a dvd drive in.

  • yea it doesnt need an optical drive. It has a program called Remote Disk that makes it very easy to wirelessly transfer software from a CD/DVD on another computer to itself. It'll read from either a PC or a Mac. Kudos to Apple. Ive always been a PC loyalist and this new Macbook Air instantly sold me over to Mac.

  • cool

  • well it probly has the durability of a crisp (potato chip for the americans) and the price tag of a ww2 battle ship.

    and who wants 1 really light and thin? its not like u are carrying it by hand. its like the thin ps2. WHATS THE POINT!?!?! your not carrying it. its not ment to be a handheld system.

  • Are you retarted? The point of a laptop is so it can be transported from place to place, so people can use it at work, or at school. So yes, you will be carrying it. Dumbass.

  • well yes but its not a handheld. u put it down. and laptops are not heavy.

  • whats the song

  • Yael Naim - New Soul

  • ok so its thin who cares only one usb one headphone jack can you even watch dvds on it?

  • yes.

  • i know!!!!! i don't want it for two reasons, 1: U CAN'T INSERT A FUCKING DISC!!!!!!!! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO WATCH MY MOVIES IN THE CAR???? 2: i already have a macbook, its not a macbook pro, its not a black macbook , its a white macbook, and my whole life is on it!

  • how about you try something called "ripping" you take the movie and put it on the mac, oh guess what that does?? now you can watch it whenever you want without dvd's.

    But with the air, it has technology to read other computers optical drives and use it to it's potential.

    And you can buy movies online, its not that hard.

  • then dont buy it...

  • @aznfatboii yes, you can watch DVD's on it mine is epic

  • @aznfatboii who gives a shit if you can watch dads on it, your so fuming stupid. everything is online now. and could get netflix for 2 months and watch thousands of movie (wirelessly) for the price of 1 dvd.

  • @boobieviolator123 wow how far back did you have to go to read my comment I don't even remember what I wrote

  • @aznfatboii it was the top comment :D

  • it does look pretty amazing considering the size and what it has inside it, but one major flaw.

    its not practical at all, if you wanna travel with it or something its gonna break so easily its not funny because its so damn thin

  • song please?

  • It's called "New Soul" by Yael Naim. I liked it too, I bought it on iTunes...Lol

  • damn i hate it when they have weird names

    good song though

  • Lol

  • Wow um okay. They keep on saying it's the "world's thinnest notebook". So what? It's definitely not the most practical, I'll tell you that.

  • "new soul"

    by yael naïm

  • the name of the song?

  • you can use windows on mac HA!!! so mac is not gay

  • i'm so suprised how so many people still havent heard about boot camp. When i get a mac in university, i'll run windows just to show mac haters lol

  • i like them the same so shut up

  • w w w. mymacbookair .o r g

    Reviews and Discussions.

  • "Built For The Future" 

  • lol the thing is i'd buy the optical drive cos i would need it at the beginning to install servereal things, but after that i'd propably bever use it, only to play some games, but not more...

  • The best thing is to perhaps wait a few months or even 1-2 years so Apple has time to tinker with it. Rember when the I-Pod first came out and the issues it had well look at it now..

    Imagine the MacBook Air 1-2 years later and the improvements Apple will make on it such as the battery issue..

  • I want one !!!!!

  • Macbook air is a ridiculous rip off product.

  • How is that a rip off?...

  • Where is the optical drive? ROFL Apple has made a "revolutionary" product again. Following lambs wait in line to buy this thing.

  • The OD is going to the same place as the grooves in a vinyl record, the floppy disk drive, DAT, and steam powered cars. Get on the bus, daigoro111! :D

  • Vinyl kicks ass!

    floppy are...

    steam powered cars?

    CDs and DVDs are still used alot right now so I'd recommend Apple make a few of these first and wait till everyone knows what wi-fi even stands for.

  • Jobs is kick starting it, my friend. You don't have to know what wi-fi stands for to use it. Get on the bus.

  • ...stop saying "get on the bus"...

    its sorta creeping me out. 0.0

    P.S. people are still using Vinyl. yay

    better sound quality than a few bytes

  • If you mean Vinyl Records, everyone thought Vinyl Records were done when 8 tracks came out, when cassette tapes came out when CD's came out yet the 8 track and cassette tapes are done, while Vinyl is still around hell you can even buy a turn tabel that hooks into the computer USB port..

  • wts de name of the song?

  • Yael Naim - New Soul

  • MacBook Air is for those who don't require a optical drive as everything is becoming wireless and if information has to be stored thats why the USB port comes in handy with a USB memory stick..

    It's not really geared towards those who might use it for everyday use, but this is the start of optical drives in computers becoming a thing of the past..

  • I hope apple makes fewer of these.

    This is for iPhone people.

    who have all the lteast technology.

    Its cool but I don't know that many people who actually own wi-fi.

    and the people who do are few in numbers but usually have alot of technology.

  • Seriously, my first reaction was negative about the laptop not having an OD. But for $100 measly bucks you can use an external CD/DVD burner. I mean, really, how often do you use your OD in your laptop. I realized that I don't use it very often at all.

  • That's a good point, for myself I use my first Black MacBook as my main computer/desktop. I use my second Black MacBook for carrying around the house to different rooms or taking it out etc..

    I would use the MacBook Air as a secondary system but I'm not sure about the battery issue not being able to remove it..

    MacBook Air can be used as secondary computer or a main computer depending on a person's needs..

  • I wonder how much it will cost to have an Mac Genius replace the battery. I would hope that Apple would roll everything up into the price of the replacement battery with no extra charge for installation.

    Of course, if you don't live close to an Apple Store you might be out of luck.

  • they did it on purpose so that they can sell more music or movie downloads. sneaky little sons of a apple

  • something i would definently buy if i could afford uh 2 things wrong that i didnt like no1 u have to buy an external Superdrive and 2 its only capable of having a 80 gig drive but i spose with the size it is you cant complain right the USB thing is fine just attch a 1 - 4 USB adapter for like 20 bucks and u then have 4 USB's but i think APPLE is DOING GREAT THINGS FOR COMPUTERS AND THE FUTURE OF COMPUTERS but i suggest check the specs and make sure you want this before buying

  • not thin enough.

    i want one that i can roll up and put in my pocket.

  • me too jjajajaj but i thing we're fonna have to wait a little longer 4 that!! jajajja

  • This is a dumb question, but what does jajaja mean? I see this in other comments also.

  • it's in spanish i think u guys wite hahahhaha

  • nice... but better with Debian xD ^^

  • Over priced get a PDA.

    Applefites are just dumb!

  • y dont pcs have their own cock? oh i remembered, they do! so go fuck it!

  • Thats right, a clear reply from an applefite. Oh Dear!

  • shut up u bitch!! if u don't like go fuck urself! u fucking communist

  • This is shame on the MacBook family!! Personally, I have a MacBook and I don't see much in the Air. It has no CD-Drive and the battery is non-replacable. It is also more costly than the MacBooks. It only has one USB port and no Firewire. Think about that before you go but the Air.

  • That's the purpose of it, it's for people who don't require a drive which suits them. I do agree about not being able to replace the battery, Apple might rethink that issue.

  • ur right i hate without CD-Drive. and it so smallest that cause computer have lot of heat turning into overheat or fire oh and i think the have smallest fan and it going be 3x loud or louder than macbook pro if then dont fan well macbook air will have hotter heat that cause computer bust it and one USB ports that dumb, i mean what were they thinking, u need one for ur ipod, another one for ur printer. so ya think little bit harder before u buy it.

  • ahem! watch the guided tour

  • I love how the lady is walking out during it.

  • Steve Jobs said: "We think you are not going to miss the CD-Drive" FUCK JUST SAY WE COULDNT PUT A FUCKING CD DRIVE IN THIS SHIT

  • I own two Black MacBooks, one I use in place of a desktop for personal use etc, the other I use for taking it everywhere.

    The MacBook Air is for people on the go who don't require a built in DVD drive etc, yet you can still download software two ways buy the external MacBook Air drive or use any Mac/PC using the wireless capabilities.

    The cost of the MacBook Air you can buy a decent Black MacBook, Do The Math..

  • Hey, Apple computers are great I can't imagine that there is a better pc-notebook than a mabook pro 2,6ghz core 2 duo

  • I Like It, But Ill Never Get It.

    "Yay! My New computer! *Snap*. FUCK! It Broke!*

    Like Many other apple products, this one will probably snap eaisily. Like the Nano.

    x

  • It's cool yes, but if I bought it my dog might think it's a frisbee :O

    If anything it could appeal to business types who don't have enough room as it stands it porn and cocaine in their brief cases they carry incase they go to a Hooker Cocaine party..

  • I'd lose it under my couch cushions...

  • thats cuz u bought urs brand new. u shoulda w8 a little later when they're more durable

  • the only reason it's thin it's cause it has NOTHING. it's just looks. Same w/ other apple products, people get it because it's "cool" (except for the iMac, they're nice) to have an iPod. most of them knows only how to get iTunes and put songs on it and nothing else.

  • I agree the iMacs are nice, probably Apple's best product. You can't say the MacBook Pro has NOTHING. It is possibly better than any other PC laptop.

  • it bums me out that it doesnt have an internal cd and dvd drive. i dont need the thinnest computer in the world. but i do need a cd and dvd drive. thanks apple

  • why did u spam uberb00n1337 comment? hes right u no.... look up apple on on google and look at the stock!

  • wrong....

  • It isn't the worlds thinnest notebook, sony made one just .01 inches thinner back in 2003

  • that's impossible. thats a hundredth of an inch. that's less than a quarter of a millimeter.

  • whats this song

  • Yael Naim - New Soul

  • Yael Naim - New Soul

  • This technology came from aliens originally they are releasing it to us slowly its true check it out you can start with the ufo on the moon Apollo csm flyover

  • I think this computer makes some sense. Its basically trying to make everything wireless, no cds cause everyones got an ipod and download music, and now they offer movies to download, so it makes sense not to have an optical drive, apple is just pushing it. But the price doesnt warrant purchase, too much for too little.

  • If there were either more usb ports or super cheap and abundant solid state memory available this would be quite the Personal Computer.

    That being said it's overpriced as all hell for what it can actually do. The WOW value is lost on me.

  • The only reason this is that thin is because there is no optical drive. Dell and the other major computer hardware developers would have made this laptop a long time ago if it were not for the optical drive. Apple sucks. Sell to microsoft already and get it over with.

  • I have Macbook and once I have extra cash, I will get this one too!

  • Such a waste!

    Why its a waste:

    -only 1 USB port

    -only able to do 2GB of RAM

    -no optical drive... so no DVD's and/or CD's

    -no built in ethernet port!

    They sell teh USB ethernet stick seperately but what if you need to use a memory stick + CD/DVD + ethernet line at the same time! YOU LOSE!

    THIS IS DEFINITELY A PRE-MATURE COMPUTER! APPLE, DO BETTER!

  • you can use a wireless internet connection to tap into another computers optical drive.

  • That beats the purpose of having a "mobile" computer." Any why go through all of that just to do something that should be included by default. Anyone can make a laptop that small w/o an optical drive. Apple has done nothing new.

  • Shut up and buy either a MacBook or the MacBook Pro or one out of the many thousands of Windows laptops out there. For the USB port problem, just buy a freaking usb hub!

  • totally dude, userdamn sucks

  • Totally dude, get a PC

  • Why charge the high price of less capability! There should at least be two USB port. Again, Apple leaves out something that should be default.

  • don't ya think this only the first model? i mean mac has always done it, they create a new prototype, they try to sell it and listen people's comments in order to perfectionate the next one. besides don't u think the CD/DVD era is over?? it's time to move on

    at the same time i do believe there should b more USB ports, i mean what were they thinkig, u need one 4 ur ipod, another one for ur printer, etc. that's something they r gonna have to fix!!

  • see u just proved its useless cuz people are going to spend the money on laptops that come with what this LP is missing i see what they were trying to do but man i mean $1800 for a thin piece of nothingness kinda a waste to make in the first place thats jus me. n yea u can buy a port n ext. but y if im chunking out $1800??

  • i have not used my optical drive once since i bough my computer. everyone has their own needs. this computer doesn't suit yours, but you are not their target customer.

  • that's what I'm thinking. it's more of a buisness/ travelling computer.

  • wont survive a day in the business world. trust me.

  • i have one, and it did last for a wekk liar its like a ipod touch enlarged

  • if i am a liar then apple is a liar. calling their first ever thin slaptop the thinnest in the world....can you say 1.72lb is lighter than 3lb? and can you say 0.7in is thinner than 0.75? how bout battery life being 12hrs long and replaceable? and how about the thinnest laptop with an optical drive? mac is way advanced. made for the future huh. havent you guy done any research and comparing specs at all or do you just believe whatever apple tells you.

  • lol sounds like you're stupid...

  • Lame, whoever is willing to spend all that money on a laptop if they already have a perfectly good laptop, needs to rethink somethings.

  • Well, of course nobody who has a "perfectly good laptop" would buy this one, or any other laptop for that matter. The point is that it is ultra portable, and people in the market for a new one might want to consider it.

  • This is true, but all the apple fanatics i know always try to get the latest and greatest. This laptop seems over the edge to me, smaller does not mean better.

  • uh... this is a laptop, smaller DOES mean better

  • i agree, smaller is better with laptops considering i carry mine around most every day in my bag and have wrecked my shoulder from doing so

  • boojoo if u don't like don't buy it, that's it. personaly i believe there are some aspect that should b changed (like the amount of USB ports, one is definately not enough...) but in general the computer is absolutely marvelous and very original, it fits perfectly to my needs, i'm gonna buy it soon!

  • oh ok, mr. eiworkfurmac

    Maybe I will change my mind about this.

  • I have a perfectly good new laptop running Leopard and I think I will throw it in the trash and get a MacBook Air. So there.

  • Lol

  • lol, good one :)

  • Don't throw it out, give it to me!! :) jk of course.

  • yeah! i definately agree, well except for the part of throwing it to the trash jajajjajajaa i might sell it!

  • who do u think u r to judge like that? i mean so what if somebody wants to change their so called perfectly good laptop for the macbook air! if that makes them happy then go ahead folks!!

  • interesting...

  • wow...thats very cool and very disappointing at the same time...

  • WTF is with that dumb lady

  • its a rip off

  • And everything windows has made isn't?

  • No. Microsoft isn't rip off at least compared to Apple. They are asking about 1900 dollars for a laptop that does not even have an optical drive!

  • Similar to the outcry when Apple dropped the floppy drive. Whatever happened to those floppy disks everyone needed and couldn't do without?...

  • mind as well throw your money down the toilet

  • How would Linksys work on this?

  • Yael Naim - New Soul

  • what's this song called?

  • πράγματι προκλητικός

  • thats one self-conscious laptop. one of the mac books bulimic cousins.

  • ROFL

  • I thought it was interesting. Until I found out there is no Ethernet port, no disc drive, and you cannot replace the Harddrive, RAM, or BATTERY.

    So its pretty much its a laptop you cant upgrade that costs more.

    However people will still buy it and enjoy it.
