nice catch! i had like 5 minutes in between Newman's performance to process the video and upload it for everyone to view...so oops.

i just don't like that thing. it seems like a dumb idea. Sorry Steve.

to tell the truth the only reason people will get a macbook air is because it is thin and maybe the keyboard is coooler and what not. other than that it dosent have a dvd/cd drive and it only has i think 1 usb port. so for my opinion i am going to say that this is probably the macbooks bigger brother but the macbook pro is like the biggest brother

It's only thin because everything(standard) that would make a laptop thicker has been removed. That isn't unique or original. Thats apple marketing for all you sheep morons.

exactly, its nothing more than the ultimate glorified pda. and even then id prefer to have that in my pocket anyway...

I guess it's the notebook for people who want unquestionable portability...

That's not such a good pull for me, though. I want functionality, and I want usefulness. I want my machine to have meaning to it's use. I don't care that it can't go everywhere with me, because I don't always need it.

And I definitely don't need a gimped laptop, no matter HOW portable it is.

The only market this thing has is it's total, complete, and unquestionable portability.

its basically a super expensive ipod touch with a bigger screen. no CD drive, no ethernet.. too soon to consider those 'useless'

Look this Airbook has no market.

Its not for power use nor travelers.

1-It isnt sturdy -would never trust a traveling business user with 1.

2- no ethernet port,cant connect to business network when you get there. Most businesses use a different wifi DSL not connected for visitors.

3. No swappable battery when traveling longer then 3-4 hours.

4- lacks media outlets for presentations.

This, is a stupid product that's 4 years old (Sony x505)
