MacBook AIR

Apple just released it first sub-notebook. It's ridiculously thin and light. There are no optical drives in it and all of the big connectors like ethernet are gone. I'm sure it's sexier in person but I find that the real machine doesn't look nearly as sexy as some of the mockups I've seen.

I'll probably never get one of these unless work gets me one. I use laptops to develop so they need more horsepower and that usually comes in larger sizes. Plus I'm pretty hard on the hardware so I tend to like machines that are larger and have bigger joints that can take more wear and tear. This new AIR machine is one of those beauties that you give to the sales people and to the CEO and CTO to do slideshows. It makes customers drool.
