I am a huge fan of Apple, but disappointed to see their new MacBook Air.

Here is the advert for their ultra-slim, ultra-portable but ultra-lame. If you just look at the notebook then it appears to be awesome, but if you look between the lines you’ll see that it really isn’t all that its cracked up to be.

The new notebook is nearly $1,800 for a basic MacBook Air, which seems a little high for the specs. Is the idea to get the most money for the least amount of power? All you are paying for is the wedge-shaped device that, “weighs about 3 pounds, and sports a thickness of 0.16-0.76 inches. It’s 12.8 inches wide and 8.95 inches deep.”

I mean, there are neat things involved in the whole MacBook Air like the built-in iSight webcam, a full sized backlit MacBook-style black keyboard, an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts brightness, and a trackpad that recognizes multi-touch gestures, like on the iPhone or iPod touch.But… It lacks the power that even the basic model of the MacBook includes in their machine. They also did not include an internal optical drive, but I suppose that Apple covers up that short coming by offering a $99 USB 2.0-based add-on SuperDrive.

Overall, not impressed with their new ‘innovative’ notebook.
