Yet Another MacBook Air Blog

First thought: I like the hardware. It’s almost everything that I was expecting to be out for PC laptops by late 2007. To be precise, it’s the LED screen and SSD hard disk was what I was waiting for.

I want a laptop that’s just the right size (I’m sick of bringing a 17″ laptop) and a decent battery life. Weight is not much of a priority but it’s also a bonus.

I can only say I like the hardware because I haven’t used Apple’s OS extensively. I like the developer environment that Linux gives me. I know it’s possible to achieve the same feel on a Mac but, err, you know, I’d rather to stick to whatever works for me.

Lastly, there’s no Compiz Fusion on the other dark side. I know it’s lame but I sometimes miss my wobbly windows.

    Hmm expensive product!

    But still $1800 for the lower version… I can get an alienware laptop for that price with better specs hehe. Yung nga lang hindi kasing light and thin ng macbook air and it won’t fit on a manila envelope hahaha.

    Another alternative for macbook air is the Asus EEE sub noebook.. pero super low specs na ito hehe

    Just like what the nashman said, it overheats. A workaround that Apple did was to reduce the clock speed of 1 core. If that doesn’t work, it is shut down completely. I think this product is a flop.

    well, I still have to try one when it arrives here manila hehehe.. Hangang try nalang ako can’t afford to borrow one…

    If this really overheats then… Apple should recall it.. baka naman may plastic thinggy nanakacover sa air duct like the macbook air before.. hmm..
