PL_ Veteran Posted January 15, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 15, 2008 I think I've made up my mind about the Air. I'm still going to stick with my plan of getting a BlackBook, because I'll be spending ?250 on something that's thinner but does less.

Guest Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I'm in the same position Pure. The Air looks amazing, but I can't justify the ?2,000. I think I'll go for the MBP, but I'm reluctant to buy seeing is it's overdue a revision.

I'm still going to stick with my plan of getting a BlackBook, because I'll be spending ?250 on something that's thinner but does less. Wtf, right?:// You've made the right decision. Unless you're traveling about constantly, even though the macbook is portable enough for this, i see no reason for it. I think its pretty obvious the next MacBook Pro update will have the same touch pad and then the MacBook will follow.

tunafish Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Oh come on apple. Macbook air = rubbish not worth the price, for a little bit extra u can get something with way more enhanced features, better graphics card, better hd, better cpu. I can see a few issues here Drop down usb thing could get broken If i spend that much on a laptop i would demand they bundle a USB drive in it for FREE Remote Disc sharing as innovative??? WTF i been able to do this for ages in my windows pc lolz. even my imac shares my cd rom drive by default lol Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/604616-macworld-2008/page/26/#findComment-589138048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
neufuse Veteran Posted January 15, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 15, 2008 The real changes will come in feb I bet... when they announce the SDK, something else will probably be upgraded around that time... although it kinda stinks how the SDK is rumored to work... how you have to distribute your apps through itunes....

Sjokkel Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Mac air is where the Intel metro concept went to. Intel demoed a working model in may 2007 which was only 0.7 inch thick together with Vista to support the extra screen on the outside. This concept was to meant for other OEMS to build. Apple takes this concept, makes the design a bit more ugly IMHO, adds an extra 0.06 inch, loses some nice features like the extra screen and remote charging and calls it their innovation??? haha Now that was the pie... for the cherry on top they annouced remote disc sharing as innovative ... :x have to stop before my lunch is served to me again.

mattmatik Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Ok, so iPhone is updated to 1.1.3, all is working. But, now I ask...what the HELL are the iPhone development teams up to? A 162MB download yields a Maps update, multi-SMS, and Webclips!? I won't even mention the fact that Maps is developed by Google and not by Apple! I understand the SDK is coming but come on, give me a bone! Apple doesn't need the SDK to get released in order to release their own made apps.

bobbba Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 dull, lol at the people who waited for exciting updates before purchasing a macbook or macbook prothe air model is way too expensive IMO...I wouldn't get it ... or you would then you'd complain it was overpriced and return it and then buy another one because you missed it...
