As an Apple shareholder, I’m concerned and with how well this piece of junk will hold up. I think the biggest concern is not the fact that it is expensive, or that it is wafer thin, but that the battery isn’t replaceable.

Like the ipods that have batteries that last only through the length of it’s warranty. Apple knows that once the battery is dead, you’ll toss it out and replace with it’s newer and better. This goes without saying for the Air.

What good is a laptop if the battery is irreplaceable and non functional?

When the market corrects itself I am jumping ship.

ryan: well I guess if you have 1900 sitting around you might as well splurge (: my macbook is still good to me, and I still obsess over cleaning it with a glasses-cloth and my breath. it’s a twisted habit that will never end! clothes can be justified when overpriced sometimes, but technology? not too sure!

charing: so good to hear from you! I hope you’re doing well – I took a look at your site and saw that you’re in england now! how extremely exciting! tell me everything (:

I didn’t realize that it didn’t have a dvd drive! I guess not being a computer major I didn’t really look into the specs, but just the glossy-looking photos (cackles)

hope to hear from you folks soon :)

I don’t think the Macbook Air is meant to replace the Macbook though… =) It’s a whole new line altogether, and is for a different audience, in my opinion.

It’s pretty sexy no doubt, but I don’t think it’s as practical as a Macbook right now. No DVD drive? I don’t think so. (yea yea, you can get that external thing, but the point of such a light-weight laptop is its portability)

oh totally worth it :D But you’re also right…1900 can get you so many other things (read: clothes). In the meantime, I think you should try to enjoy your Macbook =P I think the price of Macbook Air will come down over time anyways. But by then, Apple may have designed something better…you know, something lighter than Air :S

Oh gosh! It’s so expensive I don’t know when I’d ever be willing to spend that much on a computer – you could get so many other things! 1900 could get you three computers even if you think about it :S Is the style worth it?
