[KekowyLyzahili]

Don't be lazy - take your chance NOW and win Macbook Air. Check out macbook7, c0m!

[bough1995]

The sound of the 'air' coming out by the envelope was so fluid and smooth

[LeslieYoungs]

Macbook Air giveaway at Macbook7. com. It's your lucky day! marvellous video...

[MrJordykid8]

jobs must be proud of himself

[longrmit]

yeah, I believe in choice. If you don't like it, just ignore this and don't buy it. That's all.

If you want a cheap one, just get the cheap one

If you want "something in the air", just get it

[Jayson619]

This guy's another Sony hater;, Apple hasn't got a game console yet; has it? HAS IT! So shut up Mr Jobs and pls die of your sickness ASAP!

[Hibioshi]

octacore, lolz

[SquireofFire]

not bad except steve was lying throughout the presentation (like he always does). it is NOT the thinnest laptop ever.

sharp muramasa was thinner and that was back in 2003. its no longer available tho. also voodoo envy 133 is thinner and has better specs. so there really is no reason to buy a macbook air (unless u want a thin and useless mac)

[mistahmiles]

the voodoo was released after the macbook air, so how is jobs lying? also the voodoo is way uglier.

[SquireofFire]

its not uglier in fact it looks better than macbook air. carbon fiber chasis looks much better, u can chose ur color, and voodoo has better specs. if u read the rest my comment u might notice i said that sharp muramasa was thinner (i dont think jobs released macbook air before 2003) so it was never the thinnest and jobs was lying. jobs also says that apple did not compromise performance yet macbook air is the slowest macbook. wudnt u consider him to be lying now?

[RKfans1]

so... why would i pay $1799 for that... like what can it do other than not have a cd drive?

and i dont give a shit what u dont think i need, cuz i like having one. and i can get a laptop thats actually a hell of a lot better than that piece of thin crap for $600 less, so wheres the incentive to buy that?

[thiagomartins]

dude... that certainly is NOT for you. you DON'T HAVE to buy one. So DON'T! There's no problem with that.

[09AUTUMNUS22]

It doesn't have Vista.

[charliehopkins1]

vista sucks balls.....and macs are way better than crapy pc

[viking396]

You won't find a better display on a $600.00 laptop but hey, you want a cheap one buy the cheap one, problem solved.

[zomfgguise]

ONLY $1799?! JESUS CHRIST WOW

[Bl4kk4lb]

this video it's awesome, i love steve XD

[ingej32]

Making MacBook Air, was complete nonsense.

It's so thin, you can use it as a murder weapon, or slice bread!

It's so thin, it breaks in half just if you look hard enough at it!

It's so thin, you can curl it and put it in the garbage can!

That's what I would do if I had a MacBook Air.

[03Ryder]

il macbook air è così tenero ke si taglia con un grissino

[oweheh]

gosh that's so awesome...but i don't think i would need it... that's for luxery.. maybe if i don't have any other priorities in life like giving job for my tribe and clan.. hehehe.. seriously, the price of that 1,799 can buy a piece of more important things... other than than my beloved husband has bought me a laptop complete with printer last year which i rarely use since we also have a PC.

[light101dark]

guys its just insanely thin, theres not really much point in it

[geekrevo]

Maybe their

[mysodor]

without optical driver? bullshit

[Bl4kk4lb]

where did you place a OD in there? it's selled like an extra and it's great... if you think on it only 1850$ (1250€ in europe), IT'S GREAT!

[lifedoesntknow]

guys, its for travelers

[Antphoneigh]

Apple is a technologically innovative company. It's only going to make other companies make thinner computers with built in features such as backlit keyboards, better designs and drive SSD to the point where they're affordable to most folk. Cant wait till Macworld 2010!

[T966ER]

O come on.... People please quit whinning! This laptop is actually made to carry around for people that actually travel. You really don't take laptops with you because they are sooo thick. Seriously, why would you need to burn a dvd in an airplane......

[gayathrichoda]

I completly agree with u ...being one of the victam of that kind ..Long live APPLE ...

[emyhodut]

this is lame

[indianocean111]

this is the retartdedest thing ever

[RLviddy]

Oy, a remote CD option? That's a little ookie. I hope the dialog box giving permission has a two-step "are you sure?" process.

[theinsane102]

when is apple going upgrade the macbook and macbook pro

[lostguy1977]

Okay thinner or slimmer notebook ! Duhhh u removed the dvd rom ...Sighhh people create dvd rom/drive because it useful . External dvd they provide just making more stuff to carry .

Comparing with Sony notebook kinda stupid atleast sony notebook have DVD rom/drive !

what next Macbook ? without the Cover ? then it sure will go thinner more HEHEHE

I only like the LED screen from that .

[PeterD2S]

The only good about it is probably the size, still, i hate small keyboards because its hard to strike the keys. i already hate typing in regular sized laptops. and only 80gb disk space? you have to be kidding me!

by the way, the pad is ridiculous.

[MacroX13]

the MacBook Air is the first ultra-thin laptop with a full-size keyboard AND display...

there is no other HD as thin as this one that have a bigger capacity of storage and SSd are too expensive...

anything else ??!?

[PeterD2S]

it doesnt have any kind of external memory reader, ofcourse it's thin. you still have to carry a stupid usb drive if you want to use cds/dvds. remote disk is not as great as that guy was saying, in fact, i'd rather carry the drive than using that wireless shit.

[mydogmika]

you just like the mac thing or your brain washed buy the mac people

Toshiba R500 world's lightest, thinnest notebook last year. 64GB or 120GB flash hard drive full-size keyboard AND display with DVD drive...and only 1mm thicker than the air

[Sedalb]

Wait what? you need another computer to install software?

[thiagomartins]

Yes, unless you:

- donwload the software on the Internet

- use a pendrive or something like that

- buy the $99 external Superdrive

There are choices.

[cakrus]

that looks fragile

[thiagomartins]

That's made on Aluminum. Not plastic. Metal! Light metal.

[kungfufreak360]

wow mac...

[AltronZero]

Sry but... Mac Go to Fcking hell, already I had problems in my childhood with ure products, and now making more Problems by making a flat shit thats can break like a kookie. Your Creativity is going to lead Apple to its Demise. Only Mac Fans will put Poor comment on this one, well Go To hell.

[markhawkhead]

wouldnt it be funny if it snapped lol :P

[snupho]

I don't like the sacrifice of functionality for portability. You can't do much serious work with so few ports. I would only buy this if the solid state drive was cheaper.

[asskickerANDco]

hav u noticed that wherever jobs goes he in a black sweat shirt and in jeans

[PSTK215]

haha yea

[thiagomartins]

He has a very smart PR crew.

[RLviddy]

I know!  He looks like a stage manager.

[viktima]

fuck technology ! faggots !

[OTsoccerplaya]

i hate mac but im not gunna lie... thats really incredible

[luvasia]

Laptops are getting too fragile these days.:)

[MasterForm5551]

Don't Buy it! By, August, they may make a Macbook Air Pro!

[badsina321]

they want catch our money! so they will release macbook air pro, macbook air plus, macbook air ultimate and so on !

[MacroX13]

"plus" "ultimate", etc... are Microsoft brand marks XD

of course they will release a thinner MacBook Pro, with multi-touch trackpad, etc...

they release new laptops every 6 months

like other computer compagny

[thiagomartins]

other computer companies release new laptops every 6 weeks.

[thiagomartins]

the industry will never stop

every 6 months will be something better

if you wait forever, you'll never buy anything

[nachordzg]

That remote disc feature looks disc.

[nachordzg]

... looks cool. sorry i typed a little fast.

[puretaylorlove]

Wouldn't the new MacBook Air be extremely fragile? I definately wouldn't put it in an envelope and possible have it mistaken for mail.

The world is becoming so technologically advanced :/

[ianwalter3]

hahaha now if you really drop it or drop something on it.

it will snap in half hahaha

[thiagomartins]

try droping ANYTHING and it will spam in half.

everything is fragile today

[indianocean111]

o yea

[saddork]

OMG look at those poor guys cheering like it's the second coming GET A LIFE FFS

[JREAMING]

haha i do think they get a little overexcited over mac stuff sometimes

[kimikarl]

no dvd..? its not a big deal, n u gonna love it..trust me

[boxtortoise2003]

Stephen blowjobs did it again.

[chavosony]

so.. im hearing this mac is the best, i think it is...

am i wrong??

what's the problem with this computer, or all the macs them selves??

[Duck1985]

yep, mac produces the best laptops in the world at a resonable price.

They are the most well thought out designs ever. Mac litterely think about everything and they fit it into a concept.

If you want to go for power then the macbook pro is for you. (i got one and its great, plays any games!)

If u dont need it for that sorta thing then a lovely macbook air would be perfect. Such a nice laptop!

[chavosony]

thanks man... i think i'll be looking for a Mac Book Air

[titania02]

really? very well thought out designs? how about the screen not being able to tilt allll the way back? you have a goooood reason for that? I have to lean in each time I need to see the screen correctly. try using on your lap and tell me how you dont have to tilt the entire laptop just to compensate for the lack or movement of the screen.

[Duck1985]

i feel that the screen leans back as much as i need it to on my macbook pro. I assume that the macbook air is the same so i dont think that its a major issue.

I feel mac are best at making laptops anyway.

[titania02]

have you used it in your lap before? have you ever need to use the laptop in a rush and you just cant afford to sit down but have to stand up but then the screen wont tilt all the way. yea, apple designs are very very very well thought out. actually, it just gets in the way as you can see. if you look, it cant tilt because it will hit the body of the laptop.

[Duck1985]

ye i use it on my lap all the time and its fine for me. I spose if i was standing using it while its on a desk you wont have as good view but then why would you want to? its called a laptop for a reason lol

[lisapy1132]

I know Apple computers may not be the best but DAMN THEY LOOK SEXY! Bill gates should learn a thing or too about design from Steve, Apple have shaped the future of computers since the first I-Mac.

[mousquerader]

microsoft dont make computers. just the OS.

[lisapy1132]

well i know that!!

[melodieMC]

No dvd-r ??? Hahahahaha i just wasted 10 min of my life watching this crap video. Oh yeah... don't worry youre neighbor will all let you use he's dvd burner. What a fkn joke!

[uberb00n1337]

G A R B A G E

[luvasia]

Hey, did they flatten the macbook with a steam roller?.lol jk:)

[casualhardcoregamer]

I could be playing Crysis for $1800!

[skatefarmerftw]

it cant play crysis.

[RayZR]

To be fair, Crysis can't be played by any man-made computer. We just aren't advanced enough. =P

[cottoncandychic]

what about a new ipod?

[pauldonald]

if you buy a laptop because of the way it looks then your an idiot because you should buy a laptop because of its hardware

[lifematch]

no, you buy a desktop when it comes to hardware. when u buy a laptop u buy it for its purpose, portability and efficiency so that you can do stuff without being home.

[JacoD]

why were all the photos of white people?

[VanMocen]

lol, don't be so paranoid :P

[MRFBluth]

Because yuppies are apple's target audience.

[troglodyte123]

Its obvious man...white people represent the supperior race :*

[SacredRefuge]

I can barely keep my MacBook Pro cool; I wonder how hot this one will get?

[travisdt]

after speech

APPl crash. thank so much

[NoelLozano]

what a great presentation, makes me want to get one:D:D, but on my salary I'll probably never see one in my house!!

[zacatl]

I think I'll be keeping my 3 year old 2.7lb X40 Thinkpad

[Agarta]

lol the funny part was (we only pricing the macbook for ONLY 1799.99) lmao

[AskyewContest]

Askyew.com_ win lots of money.

Answer one simple question.

Askyew.com_ dont believe me?

Would it hurt to try?

[a7xdrkstr]

this is cool and all but i have to say this looks like its gonna be the number one broken machine, even over the x360 which i am proud to say ive had for a month and no probs AT ALL, but really this mac book is gonna be broken in half many a times. plus i sure hope no one drops it, or loses it for that matter lol

[DonFrankos]

why is he ditching Sony Vaio? that is really gay.. Vaio are the best notebooks around (price-specs comparing)plus, there are thinner notebooks than the macbook air, the Sharp Actius MM10 for instance.. (haha macbook air thinnest notebook no way:P!)

however,the macbook air is an awesome product, no doubt, I love the idea behind it, but it's definitely not better than the TZ series (look at the specs people!)

[DonFrankos]

ok I've re-checked the specs.. the TZ simply outruns the macbook. the macbook air does not even have a discdrive, has only one usb port, nothing else, nothing! yeah all wireless but come one well wow so its super thin, of course it is! by the way he is only brabbeling about the thickness! how gay is that! the TZ is a way better product overall!!

[slayersdeath]

the macbook is the thinnest if it wasent why would they say it is

[starcraftyt]

austanding...

[12centuries]

My gosh, it's like a religious cult! "Clap after every sentence please!"

Is a laptop that you can snap in half with two fingers a reason to clap? Thin for thin's sake? What's the point? This is so strange.

[RayZR]

He's trying to extoll how ultraportable it is. Sure, maybe it's excessive, but you just know that notebooks in the future are going to be miniaturized to this level. He's just taking the baby-steps for the industry.

[yougotpunkdbysnn]

its incredible.macbook air.its just like falling down fom sky.the worlds thinnest notebook.its got everything i need. i need it one

[BT2187]

great Steve...

[where221]

y u gotta talk shit about sony? just advertise ur product dont fuck up somebody else's business!

[summer52]

he's just showing the current thinnest notebook, and then presenting the new thinnest notebook.

Don't be hating... ;)

[summer52]

jaja

if you only knew...

;)

[julinmorgan]

isn't that good thought

[julinmorgan]

isn'

[tainasaboia]

Uau!

[newclips]

fuck you steve jobs!! why do you keep doing this to us!!?? first the iPod, then iMac, then the iPhone now MacBook Air!!?? apple is unbelievably amazing!! :'( got no money to buy it all...

[BoredKidProductions]

dude.. theres no cd drive

[bob2pants]

there is, but the drive is wireless. With the advancing technology, who needs a cd drive lol.. can always use a thumbdrive

[kakarote2010]

duhh.............sony vaio x505 is much slimmer.and it comes along with a optical drive.

[japgamer00x]

you dont know what your talking about.....

[kakarote2010]

dude if you dont believe just go and compare ok!!!!!!

[japgamer00x]

i did check.its not.neither is this mac air.its the thinest in production.

[andreirosseti]

it's wonderful!

:)

[Saphiiiire]

Totaly Amazing !

[gega992]

I would like an optical drive....

[Rafazk]

Acho que o Bruno tá logado no meu login né? Mas enfim, será q ele não se tocou? q tá assinando como Rafazk?!?! hahahahahha

Mas foi bom q vi o video, recebi agora recado q tinha resposta aqui!

Beijos!!

[thiagomartins]

Meu Deus, Rafaela! Fui eu!!! Sem querer! Desculpa!!!

Eu estava aqui no escritório ontem trabalhando com os dois notebooks quando fui mostrar o vídeo pro seu pai, no notebook dele. Aí depois aproveitei pra adicionar alguns comentários. E não percebi que tava logado no Google com seu nome! Pultz... Desculpa. Vou apagar os outros que fiz, e comentar com o meu usuário. Thiago

[Avernious]

Yeah I looked it up after the video. It is pretty cool. Still rather ridiculous price.

[Avernious]

Looks cool... Good idea...How much ram does it have? Wasn't mentioned... Price Ridiculous.

[thiagomartins]

It has 2GB of RAM. Cool, huh?

[thiagomartins]

We don't miss the floppy disc drive now. And I think we'll not miss the optical drive.

[gega992]

yeah,maybe,in 4 years time,but i would still like to have the optical drive on this thigy.... :)

[FruF]

I am no big MAc fan ... but i havnt used my CD drive in a year ... who cares

The Only Time i need a CD drive is when installing a new windows and i dont have a network installer

[aristeus]

Parabéns amigo, excelente vídeo, creio que foi o primeiro a colocar esta apresentação do Steve Jobs na íntegra(ou quase)aqui no You Tube.

[thiagomartins]

Valeu! Tentei cortar partes que não interessavam muito para que o vídeo fosse aceito pelo YouTube, que só aprova vídeos com 10 minutos. Mesmo com 10min33s, o vide foi aceito. Ufa! :) Editei no iMovie'08. Foi moleza.

[lifesuxxx182]

I'd like to go to the MacWorld

=(

This Mac is lovely!

[thiagomartins]

My brother is in Reno, Nevada, and he was up to go to the MacWorld, but, at the last minute, he received an offer for a 2nd job and he accepted it for the money. Well... And yesterday he bought his MacBook (normal one), taking advantage of a price drop at best buy's store near his house in Reno. One more Mac in the family now! :)

[Oronare]

I think users WILL miss an optical drive. I think it was a HUGE mistake to not add an optical drive.

[Migaelitis]

Do you want to buy my optical drive?

I do not use it ^^ cause i use virtual discs in virtual drives when i need it.

I dont burn CD's cause i have a mp3 player;

I dont burn DVD's cause i see divx movies in my desktop;

I download games and applications form web;

So... it's for sale...

[Oronare]

I have a MBP, so no.

We wont miss optical drives when everyone uses wireless to send movies to the TV, downloads games/music/movies etc and pays online..

Until then people still need optical drives to install games/software which comes in disk form.

You download all your games? So...where exactly can i legally download games such as COD4 etc with a serial? Unless its illegal then you still need to buy the DVD/CD of the game

[BoredKidProductions]

u dont need a cd if its illegal dumbass what wud be the point

[Oronare]

That was my point.......

Maybe you should learn to read and write. I said unless you illegally download it, then YES you do need an optical drive....

"would"

[BoredKidProductions]

ok dude calm down i was just skimming. im sorry. and by the way dont call me a stupid american. sure i live here but its not like i support the government and some of its fascist ways. so watch how you steretype people when you call a leftist iranian born in america a "stupid american". thx

[hotman50004]

thx so much buddy for sharing this clip i live in india and wanted to see this ut none post the clip of the show ur the first me seeing really thx a lot :)

[valentijn9]

Does Steve ever change clothes....?

[Andreilus]

It's probably where his RDF is, so he's just got to wear the same ones...

Oh, the price of being a successful CEO =P

[Lud0A]

Cool!
