After hearing about a number of the problems with the Air, it's making me rethink my decision (good thing I didn't order it).<BR/><BR/>It's a great looking machine - but definitely needs more power.<BR/><BR/>And the price is still a little high.Andrew MacNeillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888444225785506598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492774.post-28395208363953928832008-02-07T12:04:00.000-05:002008-02-07T12:04:00.000-05:00That MacBook Air is just for Womanizers ;) Yes it...That MacBook Air is just for Womanizers ;) Yes it has a huge WAF (Woman Accepance Factor), but it's not usable for real work. Come on: 13" with 1280x800? I'm already running out of space on my 15" 1680x1050!<BR/>And a superslow 80Gb 1,8" 4400rpm PATA harddisk? I barely find enuf place on my 200Gb 7200rpm SATA 2,5" harddisk.<BR/>Then there's only 1 USB port, and not even a microphone jack (for Skype or VOIP). No smartcard-, no PCExpress-, no PCCard slots. All you have is one lonely USB-Port for all your gadgets you'll need to connect. Thus you'll find yourself equipped with a lot of carry-ons additionally to that thin thingy.... <BR/>Nope. No way that I would use that overpriced thing for work.<BR/>I'm happy with a fully equipped DELL D830. Not that lightweight, but: hey, we are mans, we can stand that weight! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492774.post-40720716213063196312008-01-16T19:23:00.000-05:002008-01-16T19:23:00.000-05:00I'm a desktop guy... but I'm pretty much satisfied...I'm a desktop guy... but I'm pretty much satisfied working on a Gateway laptop.<BR/><BR/>That... and those bulky IBM models.<BR/><BR/>Apple products are good... but it's 50% technolust. <BR/><BR/>We can't deny the skills of their engineers and designers though.

These 2 points are deal breakers for me. Unless this is your second laptop, but still...<BR/>For around $2200 I can get a Dell M 1530 with a 300gb HD and a 1650x1050 max screen resolution, plus 3 years of on site total care (accidental or not).<BR/>Are actually looking at other features that I am missing?Juan Calcagnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04178936613425753231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492774.post-25661870128362733452008-01-15T22:38:00.000-05:002008-01-15T22:38:00.000-05:00I've been using VFP on my Macbook for a year now. ...I've been using VFP on my Macbook for a year now. <BR/><BR/>++Alanfoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11267989152231550963noreply@blogger.com
