I think the whole point of the ad is that it's so thin, you can bake a cake on it. Kind of like a huge stretch if you ask me, but it's a smart way of linking the tech savvy and the not so tech savvy but home savvy. If Martha can use the Macbook Air, then so can I, right? I think it's smart marketing because it immediately spurs a reaction.

laptop batteries, sony digital camera batteries

@regnez: that's probably because you're the one driving. i'm sure martha drives nowhere herself, and sits in the back, as she whips her driver to go faster, while typing some manifesto on MS Word.

@regnez:

Who cares about backlit keyboards anyhow? Oh yeah -- those who don't know how to type.

I never look at my keys, so backlighting is hardly a draw.

@regnez: That would be because regular folk rarely get to be chauffeur driven to places (not counting parents taking kids to college or getting bused to school). 'Tis the way of life in the Hamptons, or wherever she gets driven to.

Just read on the link to Martha's blog that the manager of her horse stable uses a touch screen HP computer.

I guess that's a practical Martha Stewart tip : It's easier to clean manure from a touch screen than from a keyboard.

This really hasn't helped my geek lust after finally palming one of these things last Monday, and not being able to think about much else since :(.

I'm hoping the air has a price break in the near future 'cuz then I'm pretty sure I'll get one. It is crazy sick for traveling type gigs, planes trains and automobiles.

Martha Stewart is as famous and successful as she ever was. Guess it doesn't matter to most people when someone cheats to make a profit, even when said cheating cheats regular folk out of some of the value of their meager investments. For shame, Martha Stewart, for shame! In Boston of yore, you'd be tarred and feathered, then shunned from polite society. Nowadays you remain one of the beautiful people. Jesus wept.

I'm indifferent on the MBA. But this makes me NOT like it. Martha Stewart stole millions of dollars from people. She's a convicted criminal. She's a white Imelda Marcos, and Filipino's are back in love with her too. Why don't people learn?!?!?

Anyone seen Martha on Conan? Just about everytime she's on their, she's doing shots of whiskey, or chugging beer. That's some street credit to the MBA if you ask me.

Obviously, she has Firefox and Safari both open so she can see how her cakes turn out in each browser. You know, make sure it all comes together the same.

@SchruteBuck:
OUCH!
@migsims:
Personally I'm no millionaire, but money is not one of the reasons why I have no use for a MBA.
However, I will add Martha Stuart owning one as another reason not to besides the many, many obvious ones.

@jetexas:
You're a sick, sick man.

@rohan1: Because this bitch can multitask, that's why. She can like bake a cake, paint a birdhouse, surf the internet, and sautee mushrooms all at the same time.

I have to imagine when she's dedicating her full attention to a computer that she probably always has 50 apps open. Although something tells me it's not exactly snappy given the MBA's paltry hardware specs (that's right, bring on the flames fanboys!)

I would so bend her over that desk, and say, "All you need is THIS hard drive, bitch!"

I really don't know why, but I've always had the desire to bang her.

...which is terrific for working in a dimly lit car or on an airplane.

I can think of about zero times when I have used my laptop in the car. If I did that on a regular basis, however, I suppose a backlist keyboard would be convenient.
