i just read digg's reaction to MacBook Air

(here) and i felt like i just walked out from the first day of my comp architecture class. i guess i'm behind on the current technology, but since when did they come up with SSD? it's pretty damn pricey right now, but shoot... with no seek time, that thing is going to be fast like no other. if i remember correctly those are one of the big things that we learned in computer architecture about hard disks (among other horrible things)

anyways, the more i read about it the more i doubt Macbook Air. it doesn't have its optical drive.. what is this "borrowing" thing? USB ethernet port when it only has 1 USB port to begin with??  i thought Apple has been pretty spot on in making the best out of both style AND user experience so far... but i guess they're more about style with the Macbook air.

of course, i may just be horribly misinformed and resisting changes like some old grandma =P after all, i still have some trust in Apple to live up to their "innovative" expectation so maybe this really is the way technology is going right now

i think they're going for style + wireless technology this time. everything's wireless!! they want you to buy the Time Capsule so you can install things using the CD drive of another computer or external hdd... or back up things on the hdd in there. crazy! i guess it makes sense cause if we are out and about and need our laptop, most likely we won't be needing to install anything while we're on the go anyways? and i guess they want you to use the new iTunes movie rental system too. gahh. $$$

dude i would use up 64 gb with a quickness. NOT WORTH IT :T

It's super pretty, but I think, for me, it's more like an add-on computer to what people already have. I have a friend with a Mac Pro who purchased and Air -- it made sense because he wanted a super portable laptop and could easily have his Mac Pro do the hard work for him.

For my needs and my budget, one laptop that has an optical drive works well, haha. :) Maybe when I have an expendable income but, by then, all laptops might be that size...
