I'm surprised there's no commentary here today about the MacBook Air. I've always said that I'd buy a Mac laptop once they had something in the sub-3 pound category. This is close enough.
Stuff I like:
- light weight
- decent sized screen / keyboard
Stuff I'm not sure about:
- lack of Firewire or most any other useful ports
- lack of ExpressCard or any other expansion slots (I'd have to carry around a CompactFlash/USB adapter for my camera.)
- Fixed (iPod-esque) battery
- $1000 premium to get the SSD disk, otherwise you get the dog-slow 4200RPM hard disk
- I really like the fingerprint scanner on my ThinkPad. Nice to not worry about shoulder-surfing.
Stuff that's almost a deal breaker:
- Shiny LCD screens. What is Apple thinking?
Still, it's an awfully sweet machine...
