Macbook Air - just another sexy little thing!

Back | See zanaida’s profile

I can't help it... I'm in love! The funny thing is - while I started out on Macs, I've been on a PC FOREVER (I'm doing the sums and I'm thinking 13 years of PC devotion?). Problem is, my adorable HOT HP Pavillion Verve Edition while fabulous is so unbelievably painful what with Windows Vista (don't go there. ever.), its video card (Nvidia) and driver probs all contributing to it crashing a minimum of 5 times a day. It's enough to make you cry. Slam the keyboard. Throw a trantrum. And now - buy a Macbook Air! That's right, I'm turning to the dark side! I've pondered the ins and outs of it and don't worry, I've done my research. Let me get back to you when the purchase has been made and I've had a play around with my new toy. At the very least, it'll be another sexy little thing!

hahaha, excellent - ah well, I'm finding so far my one is powerful enough to handle everything i want to do with it so all is good :) and by the way - I've not yet had to use two USBs a the one time on it so no issues with that either!

Haha, should have waited?

Haha, awesome. You can always get external hardware I guess. Just get some cheap 4-port USB hub for $2 or something. As for a CD/DVD drive, if you have one lying around, just get an external case for it

so.... I got it! In fact I'm writing this message from the new computer - and boy is it a cute little thing!! Love it - but I guess I'll know about the inconveniences of it later after using it for a while

Then I think you've made up your mind then zanaida?

geeker - It wasn't a manilla folder. It was aperforated interoffice envelope.

zanaida - will your aperforated interoffice envelope have room for your external superdrive, magsafe adaptor, external ethernet port, remote, and externally powered usb hub? I think not!

LOL Geeker!

Imawesty - it's funny, the thing I'm most concerned about is the lack of firewire port... do I have a video camera? NOPE! The CD drive aspect doesn't bother me hugely because of the remote disk functionality. The lack of USB ports could be annoying though!

But if you don't buy the Air, what will you put in your manilla folders and large size envelopes? They'll be so... empty!

Haha yeah, i've always loved Macs. But always used PC's. I have my PC still..but its getting pretty dusty. Once you go mac, you never go back.

But yeah, think hard about it. I still suggest a standard macbook. You never know...you may need all those usb ports, that cd drive, the mini-dvi ports, firewire and all that stuff one day :p

I've not bought the Air yet - I will be making a Mac purchase today though. It is a toss up between a standard Macbook and a Macbook Air... I am pumped to be turning Apple but I'm going to have to admit, I'm still holding onto my PC desktop!

I too own a macbook...

I just don't see the point of anything BUT the macbook.

In my honest opinion, Macbook Air is a waste of money.

Not to mention the fact there is no CD drive (as far as I know), less battery life, less processor speed, less ram, and only 1 usb port. Oh and the price? Expensive.

Even the macbook pro's I don't find overly attractive. Bigger isn't better (I'm talking dimensions, not power).

Power-wise with the MBP's, i'm not paying hundreds more (off the shelf) for a lousy 200MHz extra in speed, and an extra ~40gb of hard drive space, especially if i'm lugging a massive 15 inch computer around all day.

In my opinion, the standard Macbooks are the best laptops Apple has ever released.
