  • Of course the MBA is a 'niche' product. What's wrong with that? Will its sales justify the cost of R&D and marketing is a better question.
  • Well, the November 1st update was significant. Quote: As rumored, Apple has quietly updated the MacBook tonight to the Santa Rosa architecture with mild speed bumps and the GMA X3100 integrated video. White 13.3" $1099.00 2.0GHz/1GB RAM/80GB…

  • Can't happen. The ram is soldered and afaik it will only accept a single platter 1.8" drive.

  • Well, I wouldn't call wireless CD/DVD use a 'pro', it's really just the 'con' of no optical drive. As far as ethernet and audio in there's a million usb adapters that will provide you that feature. Speakers on a portable are pretty irrelevant, I'…

  • I really found it amusing that Steve claimed they just 'innovated' remote drive. I've been building networks with shared optical drives since Mac OS 7. I may be way out on a limb here - but I'm currently using a 12" iBook as my main portable and…

  • I'm going with the edit: meant standard not solid state - but I know of someone who just put in an order for a maxed out model, over $4k shpped. Quote: 1.6 v 1.8Ghz? I am not paying the premium - the thing with mediocrity is that this product is…
  • Web development is what I do, and usually on the move - but mostly css design and php development... not a lot of 'design' in the sense of Photoshop etc. My editors are mostly text based... this is exactly the machine I wanted for $300 more that I w…
  • All this means to me is that AppleCare is an absolute must - but I'd say that goes for all of Apple's portables. Hopefully the battery won't fall down to 40 minutes charge (or less) in 2 years as has been my experience with all of Apple's previous p…
  • I'm sold. It's exactly what I wanted, but man does that price sting... $2k for the base model with AppleCare and a SuperDrive... AppleCare is really a must with this thing and its non-user replaceable battery... \ I love it, but I was hoping to end …
