And how long until someone cracks one? That looks way too fragile!

Lamest magic trick ever. I can totally see the wires that are holding it up!

i could care less how thin that thing is.. gimmi a big 10" iphone/tablet

Lol at the way she talks, I was surprised she didnt say "like" in every other word

now u gotta compare it to pioneer's project kuro =)

Um...who cares about the laptop...show us the chick!

@simpsons-movie-ruled: along that note, take your hands out of your sleeves like a big kid

It's actually still 2cm think (or 0.76 inches). Sorry, but that doesn't even seem that thin...

PAN UP! PAN UP! So we can like see how hot this chick was that was like totally explaining like how the remote disc thingie like works and stuff.

The size is directly proportional to the relevance.

Put Bin Ladin's picture on it and find out how quick the MacBook Air goes from punching bag to flying square disk.

Looks awefully sweet though. Thin is in. Ask Cameron Diaz.

If you plan on purchasing one, get the extended warranty. It's gonna crack quicker than a plumbers keester!

I don't like her voice

And why does she finish every sentence with that upward inflection? Like she's asking a question?

@simpsons-movie-ruled: Ditto. Like $99? No it IS $99.

PLEEEEEASE do not touch it...

@dna: The size is directly proportional to the relevance

i think you mean "inversely"

Sweet... a fixed battery that must be replaced at the factory. No optical drive. So thin it looks like it would crack from a sneeze.

I thought about it be decided on the M1330 Dell with the 2.2Ghz vs. 1.6/1.8 proc and an extra Gb of RAM for LESS than this thing. Plus it has a real DVD/CD slot load drive, built in AT&T cellular broadband, an actual VGA port (and HDMI), etc etc etc. Can't imagine anyone spending up to $3000 for this thing.

Also I'm guessing that 80Gb HD isn't 7200 RPM like the drive in my M1330. Screw that.

I still love the iPhone though :)

Like, omg! Am I, like, the only one? Or are you guys, like, also dissapoited with, like, the keynote presentation?

Th chick is indeed acting like she's an unprofessional, insecure 2-year old.

Ans I expected a lot more from this keynote. I hate the name (Nike anyone?) I hate the iPod look, I hate the lack of ports, disc reader and ability to take the battery out, the lack of harddrive space, the lack of common sence. This sucks.

I hate apple a little now. They're going the wrong way again.
oh, and:

reality-distortion field n. An expression used to describe the persuasive ability of managers like Steve Jobs (the term originated at Apple Computer in the 1980's to describe his peculiar charisma). Those close to these managers become passionately committed to possibly insane projects, without regard to the practicality of their implementation or competitive forces in the marketpace.

"A reality distortion field. In Steve's presence, reality is malleable. He can convince anyone of practically anything. It wears off when he's not around, but it makes it hard to have realistic schedules."

Jesus - I couldn't press the mute button fast enough. Worst voice ever.

Ok... All you that think aluminum cracks, I will buy you a new one if it cracks. If anything it will dent before it cracks. All that aside, I agree that a 10 inch iPhone type device needs to come out. Maybe 7 inches. Somethin like that.

I'm just not impressed by this.

till i see one these things fall from 5 feet and continue running just fine and not a crack on screen then i will be impressed ... would have been nice if they put WiMAX in it or at least something 3G :(

Boy, she sucked as a presenter. Is she from the Valley?

Jesus.

my farts bigger than that thing

Wow a thin laptop with no optical. I guess it is easy to get thin if you exclude things. BTW I just created a laptop that is as thin as a sheet of paper. It has a manual screen that images appear on when you slide a standard pen across it. This eliminates the need for a keyboard so there is no keyboard. There is no optical drive and there is no need for a hard drive because storage is only limited to the room in your brain cavity. Did I say it was as thin as a sheet of paper, oh yeah and the best thing is you can fold it up and put it in your pocket.

And one time at band camp.....

Please don't touch it sir.

And this other time at band camp...

It looks great for wifi needy, love the multi touch pad and illuminations of display and keyboard, and aluminum won't crack, but I don't like the idea of external dvd player or renting from itunes and always borrowing from some other source. Why the price for the smaller storage?

"Please don't touch it, sir." Ha ha ha! Nice.

OK, who is going to register pleasedonttouchitsir.com or .info for a new Mac blog? :)

Please don't touch it sir.
Might break, you know?

Ooh, it's the iServing Tray!

@Brian Sexton: uh, I don't think you would get the kind of internet traffic you're expecting . . . think about it.

False headline. I watched carefully, and you only have about 310 degrees of video. Certainly not a full 360.

Okay so a thin notebook with no built in optical drive seems kinda lame to me. So I guess you can go ahead and exclude anyone who likes to...Oh I dont know...install things. It looses its thin qualities when you have to carry around an extra drive.

i love her "um, please don't touch it sir?" in the middle of the technical description. she sounds like a haughty museum curator.

Hmm i Luv Burning Music on the go for my friends... this is Useless to me.. Yea.. i know.. you can buy an attachment.. but that's lame..
I'll wait till the new Pro Comes out so i can update mine : )

so tell me, does it blend?

AHAHA no optical drive! So weak.

Kind of a super-slim throwback to the old clamshell iBook.

@jackhandy:

Tom Dickson for President

@mwalker05: I dont get it. =?

fuck this shit.

So little girl let me get this right.

1)I need to have another computer to install things on to this laptop. What if I am not home. Should I just have everyone I know share their DVD/cdroms.

2)Next, does this thing have airbags so when it is in my book bag with my Harry Potter it will not die.

And I am really new to this wireless thing how does it work can you go over that or should I

I am going to have to get a new 802.11n router now just to make sharing stuff from my desktop fast. oh, my I just don't want it you lost me at the don't touch.

@videoCWK:
like, yea[upward inflection].

@DUCATIGUY:
That guy should have been faster and just grabbed it...and/or her[upward inflection].

@FREAKSHOW1
Yea, her presentation skills aren't that great. She sounds a bit immature. I guess her looks made up for it--hey, she got the job.

What looks?

This one time? I was like, demoing this Macbook? And, like, this guy? He, like, tried to touch it, you know? And I was all like, please don't touch it sir, you know? Like, oh my god!

@simpsons-movie-ruled:
Agreed. But I have to admit... she's the smartest blonde i've seen.

Wow Apple finally invented a new feature where you can share the optical drive of another PC on your network to load software, oh wait, I have been doing that since Windows 98. Go Apple for inventing stuff that already exists!

Wow it's even more hideous than I thought. I had a toshiba portege back in the day that was barely thicker than that thing and probably weighed less.

"Please don't touch it, sir."

Because it is so small, thin and fragile that even the slightest touch will cause it to shatter.

I think I saw it disappear? So apple wants how much for a laptop that doesn't even have an optical drive? It's really thin? IMO, it's an oversized ipod touch.

Did she cut off her left hand?
