MacBook Air

woo wee!!! this just launched around my birthday sia... *cough cough* very slim macbook new model haha...

but it seems it comes with a couple of downsides...
  • external superdrive comes optional (at extra cost)
  • appears to have a maximum of 2GB ram (no further upgrades aside from onboard ram)
  • external video output adapters (additional accessories to log around)
  • battery is sealed and not user-replaceable!?
the pluses, on the other hand...
  • lightweight and super slim (for portability, obviously)
  • ability to piggyback on other cd/dvd drives on machines in the same network
  • backlit via LED that saves more power hence improving battery usage
  • option to upgrade harddrive to a solid state disk (64GB however, as opposed to the standard 80GB version)
  • multi-touch trackpad (similar to the iphone/ipod touch)
  • last but not least, bragging rights to owning a very slim notebook AND a Mac at the same time...
