Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
Isn't the Mac Air notebook an example of an Apple product simply being flashy for the sake of doing so? Back to school $399 ACER notebooks from BestBuy offer way more functionality and don't require dongle after dongle to attach things like ... oh say a DVD drive or VGA/DVI/HDMI connection... Sure it's really thin, but it has a giant footprint, huge pricetag and even less functionality than your standard netbook PC or budget notebook.
It's the only MAC product I've had any extensive use with (a roommate of mine has one), IMO it's a peice of garbage.
I'm sure their regular line of Macbooks are excellent though.
The Air is definitely a niche product, similar to Sony's Vaio line in a lot of ways. For enthusiasts and people who love the aesthetic only. The current generation MacBook Pros are not much thinner and way more usable for day-to-day tasks.
I wanted a small Mac, so I got a Dell Mini 9 and made it a MacBook Mini. Lots of fun. Check out how well it runs: http://vimeo.com/3630135 (not my video)
