...or new ipad-with-a-lid ?
me no likey the tapered profile it doesn't look consistent with other products in terms of the design line... any opinions?

i like how the promo video basically says the ipad is rubbish

the wedge is a little ugly but i'd have to see one in person. i'm not particularly worried about consistency, there is always something in the line that leads the rest. i prefer the fact it's less round and pebble-like.
weight is it's key strength and i love how light the old one was. 11.6" looks like it might be a little small and never been a fan of 16:9 displays.

No it can. Apple just isnt shipping it with the plugin installed. Sort of an F-you to Adobe

Flash is not preinstalled. Another Apple diss! omfg.
And it's a big, major deal cos now Flash will have to install itself from the internet.

funny thing about that macbook air is it looks like a dell from last year... down to the black screen bezel and doorstop tapering shape. except dell didn't make you buy only silver

iCanHasQBN - good idea... looks for picthought
- "down to the black screen bezel" The Air does not have a black screen bezel.jasonistaken

yeah i would get ipad before air... pointless

The important point about the Air is that along with the Mac App Store, they are rendering CDs less useful in the coming years.

it's amazing how much people get their panties in a bind over something so insignificant.
don't like it? don't buy it.

To tell you the truth, I was skeptical last year, but the pricing is great. I've not used my CD ROM drive in ages, and never used it on the go. Flash drives are perfect. I only wish they had a 15" version. I'd opt for a 15" MacBook Air Pro.
As far as the new wedge concerns, I feel I'd be more ergonomically better for my wrists, beside the design is trimming off useless technology fat.

How can some of you dislike the Air so much? When I look at it, I see the future of computing - as cheesy as that sounds. Ultra slim, beautifully designed, internally-compact systems. Inevitably, its power will increase in the coming years, and within time it'll be a 4GHz machine with 1TB of memory, and you'll be able to run CS7 with ease. One step at a time, people. Look at how thin it is, too. If it was any thinner, there wouldn't be any room to press down on the keyboard keys ffs.
I mean, just the instant-on thing alone. I've been wanting that ever since I first used a computer and had to sit there for two minutes while my PC started up.
Don't bash it just because it's not for you. Not everyone in this world is a designer.

wow. there's gotta be some sort of rule that says if you start posting naked men to a thread you probably lost the debate.
