The MacBook Air, Apples new laptop may not be what everyone hoped it would be. They claim that the MacBook Air is the thinnest laptop you can get, however the article says that in 1997 the Mitsubishi laptop was a hair thinner. The engineering of the laptop is great, however because it’s such a specialized product it won’t be used as much according to the article.
Downfalls:
The Air only has room for one USB port. Doesn’t include a built-in optical drive, FireWire, Ethernet, or mobile broadband. Apple refuses to outfit the Air with a media-card reader or an expansion card slot.
Pluses:
Lightweight. Big screen. People who live near Wi-Fi hot spots with little need of wired connectivity.
