Thursday, January 31, 2008MacBook Air: Why it isn’t for Us
Apple’s much hyped MacBook Air that Steve Jobs rolled out to much fanfare has started shipping in the last few days. The specs are surprisingly decent for an ultralight laptop - 13.3” wide aspect 1280x800 screen, full size LED backlit keyboard, a Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM stock, a slick solid state drive, Bluetooth and WiFi, and Apple’s first implementation of a multi-touch interface on a device other than an iPhone. Buckets o’ sexy, and countin’. At only 3 pounds, it sounds at first like the perfect machine to do some offline editing in the field with, or capture some footage with and start editing back at the hotel, etc. It has a Core 2 Duo processor, already has 2GB of RAM out of the box, so why not? At $1800, it isn’t cheap, but it costs less than a MacBook Pro, so even moreso why not? Well....not so fast. more »Editing • (4) Comments • Most recent comments by: Laptopus, Benjamin, Marc lougee, David Dickson, • Permalink Page 1 of 1 pages |
