		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c3873958">Padriac</a>: <br>
hahaha, i just bought my new macbook, 2.2 ghz core duo processor, 2gb or ram and a VGA adapter.<br>
oh and the apple care plan<br>
would you like to guess what the price is?<br>
$1853...and that is with tax.<br>
soo my macbook is less expensive than if i were to buy a macbook air, beats the crap out of the air and is tied with the macbook pro with exception to the 2.4 ghz model. so i say i made the smart decision here, i paid less and got a great computer, sure it isn't the thinnest computer in the world, BUT i have in terms of buying a notebook from apple one of the best. I have to say, getting a macbook air has got to be the dumbest thing anyone can do when i just bought this little 5 lbs.(OMG, so heavy!!!) of heaven. So yes, every single argument that was said about the macbook air and how slow it is still holds true, pretty much all negative things still hold true.<br>
btw, the black is way more sexy than the silver and black keyboard.</p> <p>xbigman15x</p>]]></description>

If it hurts the PC community's feelings we can upgrade the hardware on the PC sub to about 2X spec. That little handicap should get it close.</p> <p>notafanboy87</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c3872341">daftrok</a>: I'll say this to you. If you can fit all that stuff in a laptop that thin, and keep it that price AND not bomb the company at a loss, then I think there's a job waiting for you at Apple. However, considering you're obviously no engineer and haven't the slightest clue about products, their relative existence or their relative prices, allow me to shed some light on this subject for you. First and foremost, SSD drives in as high quantities as 128 GB are expensive and RARE. We're talking $3-5000 rare (for desktop sized ones!). Apple would not consider this an option. Not yet. Secondly, asking for a graphics card that would be larger than the LogicBoard and CPU would be rather defeatist and again unnecessary, really, how many graphic designers are even glancing at this? Remember the whole computer is shorter than a pencil. Standard superdrive? The 1099 macbook doesn't even have a superdirve, why should this? Let me put this into perspective for you. Apple looked around and asked people what they used most on their computers, and what they used least. Guess what the results were! On average, consumers use Ethernet, Optical drives, Firewire, and PCI-E slots less than twice a year. Unless there is a specific reason as to why the consumer would use such a function, most people DON'T USE THEM. Lastly, remember from last year, how Apple came out with a ton of things that weren't at MacWorld or WWDC? Don't fret, the computer you've been searching for may yet to have been released. Remember, it's only January.</p> <p>notafanboy87</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>Are both the MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops you tested outfitted with Core Duo and not Core 2 Duo chips?  If you're trying to test the MacBook Air against laptops people might actually own, I think it would be better to do it against Core 2 Duo laptops since there have been more revisions with Core 2 Duo chips than with Core Duo chips for both the MacBook and MacBook Pro.  Just my two cents.</p> <p>mrbofus</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>I hate to say it, but I think most everyone here is missing the point of the Macbook Air. Its not for most of the world who have desks and/or little commutes, etc. Its not meant to compete with MBP or MB. Its designed for two solid purposes: 1. Bling (yea) 2. Portability. I travel over a million air miles a year and would LOVE a smaller and lighter macbook than my MBP for traveling and working on planes, etc. This is perfect for those 'on the go'. I won't be doing intensive Photoshop work on it, or editing film. I will be doing presentations, managing email and other communication and the other necessities while away. For this purpose its a home run.</p> <p>mrmoab</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>There are no competing Windows laptops. The Air is about style. That's something the Windows community will never have.</p>
<p>But the main point is that a 1.6Ghz Mac with 2G of Ram can do everything the normal user would want to - as opposed to a Vista laptop of the same specs, which can't do much of anything.</p> <p><a href="http://www.americantaleban.com">NeoPoliticus</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>What, pray tell, is the point of Mac-Mac benchmarks??  Of course the newer Macs will be faster.  What about the Air vs any other ultraportable PCs doing similar tasks like rendering massive images in Photoshop while running Mac OS vs Windows versions.  That seems way more relevant to me.  Then we'd see whether the Mac gets any bang for the buck over competing Windows PCs.</p> <p>Brau</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c3872038">Earthslide</a>: Except, while speeding in a car external factors slow you down, like those pesky red lights and other traffic.  When a faster computer does not slow you down, and continuously allows proper multitasking, then these things matter.</p>
<p>When you can compile code, research online, listen to an audio book, and burn a dvd (sort of irrelevant here) without slowdown to simply refresh a window, it makes a difference, and the only redlights are your own inefficiencies.  I mean, even at work when drafting simple word docs, and using research multiple firefox windows and pulling excel data, I find significant slowdown.  It's distracting and takes away from my efficiency.  I would love to finish the mundane tasks more quickly so that I can waste my time at a red light.</p>
<p>Still, to be fair, the airbook would be apealing to those who need it for portability/fashionable reasons (I guess...I mean there are more portable computers, and arguably better looking ones, but I'm also not attracted to anorexic women, so what do I know) and who also do not need specific capabilities, but one can hardly justify that there is no need for more performance for all users.  64k...</p> <p><a href="http://">capitalass</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c3875518">daftrok</a>: the point isn't that the MBA is "slower", because we all knew that from the specs. The point is HOW MUCH slower, and do small amounts of "slower" even matter anymore (for most people)?</p>
<p>What these benchmarks show is that the MBA runs random normal tasks in approximately the same time as the other systems. I know you want to think one of these is "fastest" and thus one is "slowest", but it might be better to think of it that they are all "fast enough" for most people for all but very specialized tasks.</p> <p>Padriac</p>]]></description>

<p>but seeing as Final Cut didn't exist in my original example i'd have to make the current example relate to something similar. and i would guess a MacBook Air would run Photoshop / Illustrator / After Effects perfectly fine. those are all complex tools that have current and relevant versions.</p> <p>x23</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p><i>"I was doing full-blown video editing jobs on a G3 powerbook with something like a 6 gig hard drive and something like a 300 megahertz processor nearly 10 years ago."</i></p>
<p>same here. on a 1998 "Wallstreet" 300Mhz G3 with 96MB RAM / 8GB hard drive. encoded on the Avid (no Firewire Powerbook until 2000... shot on Beta SP anyway.) then dumped the footage to the laptop via SCSI disk mode or over the 10-BaseT network.</p>
<p>made literally hundreds of commercials and several dozen longform productions on it using After Effects then rendered back out in Avid format.</p>
<p>was perfectly acceptable in everyway. even with 720p HD i can't see doing video work on the Air being a huge catastrophe. but then i remember when you had to actually wait on renders. and also when you actually had to create motion effects from scratch vs. clicking a preset.</p> <p>x23</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>I definitely wouldn't get it as my primary machine (would want something with more ports &amp; speed), but for those that already have a desktop, it seems like a great laptop for commute/travel.</p>
<p>And for those wanting a smaller form factor (ie a 10 or 12 inch), what? This won't fit in your purse? I like a screen &amp; keyboard big enough to be useable, and any bag i've got is big enough for a vanilla envelope. The thinness makes a difference though. I'd much rather carry around something magazine sized rather than oxford dictionary sized...</p>
<p>This is my perfect travel laptop for email, web, photo editing, etc. I wasn't looking to get a laptop before they released this. Now i'm considering it.</p> <p>ekornblum</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>I love it. Everybody was bitching about how underpowered the MBA is, but when the benchmarks show it to pretty much be in the same ballpark as both the Macbook and Macbook Pro all of a sudden people find excuses.</p>
<p>"But the Macbook only has 1GB of RAM! blah blah blah". Yes, because that's how Macbooks are sold. Adding RAM increases the price and thus starts negating the macbook price advantage.</p>
<p>@<a href="#c3873798">Brian Lam</a>: Does the MBA "feel" sluggish in any noticable way? Or if you didn't know beforehand would you never even know that you are using a 4200 RPM hard drive?</p> <p>Padriac</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c3872141">SchruteBuck</a>: THE kind that has some machines around his house. Look the Macbook standard is from 2 years ago when 1GB was par. The pro is a little more recent. This gives you an idea, but no one is calling this a solid race between the most modern machines. What do you have at home? A 2 week old Macbook pro and a macbook? That's not realistic. What is realistic is comparing this to stuff people might actually own.</p> <p><a href="http://gizmodo.com">Brian Lam</a></p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>So far this is the first MBA post I've seen where the comments weren't filled with redundant annoying griping and complaints that it's been posted to much. Good work people.</p>
<p>I've come to a conclusion about the MBA. The product itself as it exists now is not particularly interesting to me and isn't very useful for most people. Yet I still find it very exciting. I think it's exciting for what it will mean for future laptops. I can't wait to see what Apple does to the Macbook Pro's with what they've learned from this and what other manufacturers will do to compete with it and an how they'll use the new smaller chip design. Give me a full powered, as thin/small as possible update and I'll be thrilled.</p> <p>hhaller</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>I'll say it once and I'll say it again, there is a difference between ultraportable and ultrathin and this laptop is ultrathin.  It would have been much more logical to make a 12" laptop with those same specifications (maybe even a touchscreen) at that price.</p>
<p>If the Macbook didn't exist then this laptop would have been interesting, but seeing as there is a much more affordable Mac (which is laughable because the Macbook is overpriced) with much more capabilities.</p>
<p>BTW, was it just me or were people hoping for a replacement for the Macbook with a 13" Macbook Pro (some of these features would be nice on their 15" and 17" models too):<br>
1) Aluminum casing<br>
2) LED backlighting<br>
3) 45nm Penryn C2D processors<br>
4) Possibly an 8400M GT card that comes standard<br>
5) Superdrive standard<br>
6) 2 GB standard (for people that want to run Vista)<br>
7) Introduction to Hybrid HDD technology (standard?)<br>
8) Optional upgrade to 32, 64 or 128 GB SSD<br>
9) $1099 price tag</p>
<p>There would have been something in the air.  The sound of a standing ovation.</p> <p>daftrok</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<P>Does anybody else think the Macbook Air isn't necessary for Apple? Look at it this way. It was not  necessary for Apple to create a third iteration of their Apple notebooks. They really should have just updated the Macbook Pro to be thinner (while keeping the Superdrive), like we all wanted while updating the specifications of the notebook. Hell, I would like to have seen Apple incorperate Penryn processors rather to make it thinner (I want an iMac with Penryn inside).</P> <p>KJA</p>]]></description>

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>@<a href="#c3871915">daftrok</a>: That's excatly what I was about to mention. And even when you add another 1 gig of RAM to the Macbook (making it a total of 2 gigs) and upgrade the HD to 120 gigabytes, you still come out about $450 cheaper than the Macbook Air.</p>
<p>I dunno... I'm still not sold on this thing. It's definitely for people with a heck of a lot more disposable income than I have  :)</p> <p>DW</p>]]></description>

Carrying a portable optical drive around with this thing is more cumbersome than carrying around a bigger laptop<BR>3. Too expensive<BR>4. Are you kidding? $1000 more for a solid state drive--I don't think so!<BR>5. Where is the Micro NVIDIA graphics chip???<BR>6.

		    <description><![CDATA[<p>Well to be fair the Macbook was only running on 1 GB of RAM instead of two.  I'm sure that if you give it 2 GB of RAM it will be toe to toe with the Macbook Pro and leave the Air in the dust (hehe).  Another reason why this laptop sucks.</p> <p>daftrok</p>]]></description>
