i had doubts with this envelope cause for the coin.
i see the coin, now, it is for the patents on this. the keywords on the touch. figure its not to long from the actual mac "all screen" computer. the track pad current will be just be the beta to get a consensus of common hand moves.

its a piece of unproductive crap for millionaire teenagers.
and why think of an envelope concept if a computer with this thickness and fragility should be kept between two pillows so it doesn't scratch the surface or cracks the HD.if only Jobs spent less producing more powerful machines for lower prices and costs, nature freindly, to finally seduce the rest of people that think PCs are the best...
my 2 cents....
(and I own a mac)

Computers, in general suck balls, might as well have a good looking one.
- what for? to seduce girls/boys?
my gawd, why make the weel better looking if it only needs rolling?kodap - because its a piece of furniture. Although I could sit on milk crates and they would do the job, I prefer arm chairs...slappy

Anyone else think its the applications that are just taking up to much processor these days... a fews years back you'd of looked at this spec and thought wow, i can do everything with that...
but from reading threads on here, people assume this spec would suit web surfing, and word processing.... crazy!

- Yes, apps do take unnecessary amounts of power these days. Lazy ass developers.kalkal

sounds awesome for traveling, but definitely not for any type of creative work...I'd be interested in seeing some benchmarks.

Bummer about no MB Pro update, still stuck in this 2003 casing with the old style keyboard. Air is a really brilliant idea. People, especially the feminine flavour, hate carrying laptops around because of the weight. Performance-wise the air has all a laptop for a normal person needs. Well, some might like a larger (or smaller) screen, that's all. CD-drive goes into the handdbag. The only really bad idea is the 1 USB limit and no Gigabit ethernet capability even with a dongle. Lots of people can't stand touchpads and need a mouse. Must be a bluetooth one or you're left with no USB slot for a camera, iPod or whatever.

jesus christ, just stop freaking out people. The laptop isnt even out, and a wave of criticism has just blasted on the internet, without even seeing the product. So its not the laptop you want to work photoshop on, SO THE FUCK WHAT?!?! Im thinking your missing the fucking point of it. Its a PDA that 13 inches, So you can do all your internet email and what not while away from home or office, and do Presentations.
HOLY CHRIST, DRINK SOME FUCKING COFFEE AND CALM THE FUCK DOWN!
ok.. Im taking my own advice... have an excellent day!
