MacBook Air: Is it worth the price?

Steve Jobs: MacBook Air. The thinnest notebook available. Can fit into a manila envelope. Price $1799.

Whaaat?!!?

For these specs I think this is a complete rip-off even though it’s Apple.

5 Hrs Battery with everything running (nah uh..)

No Optical Drive (this completely sucks! Wirelessly installing software is not for me…)

One USB Port (whaaat?? I need at least four USB Ports…but maybe that’s just me..)

2GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM (Acceptable)

Intel Core 2 Duo at 1.6 or 1.8 GHz (Hmmm..ok..what’s the best processor for laptops out there? I don’t think this is it for that price!)

80GbB or 64 GB Hard Drive (It has to be at least 160GB!)

Optional external HD for $99, USB- Bus Powered (now we know why there is only one USB port…oh wait where do we put the external optical drive that is also USB powered? Oh yes the same USB port..but first take out the external HD and then put in the external optical drive…why don’t you just give the external HD and an external optical drive for free…at least then we might be able to accept the $1799 price!…on second thought…NO!)

Yeah it does look cool and I would definitely buy it for say like about $300 but $1799 is completely ludicrous!

Oh and yeah this isn’t actually the thinnest laptop ever. It is the Mitsubishi Pedion (now deceased) which cost a whopping $6000 with a 1GB Hard Drive and 64 MB RAM. Whaaaat?! Yes I know. Hilarious isn’t it? It came out in 1998 and no wonder no one remembers it. Maybe in 2018 everyone would have forgotten about the MacBook Air as well. Source : CNET

Gotto love technology. One minute you’re the new funky kid on the block that everyone craves for and the next minute your toast! And yes you can quote me on that!
