"The TSA has been known to take issue with products designed in Cupertino before, but for one particular traveler, it was Apple's thinnest laptop ever that caused the latest holdup. Upon tossing his ultra-sleek slab of aluminum underneath the scanner, security managed to find enough peculiarities to remove it from the flow, pull it aside and wrangle up the owner for some questions. Apparently, the TSA employee manning the line was flabbergasted by the "lack of a drive" and the complete absence of "ports on the back," and while hordes of co-workers swarmed to investigate, the user's flight took off on schedule. Thankfully, said owner was finally allowed to pass through after some more in-the-know colleagues explained in painfully simple terms what an SSD was, but the poor jet-setter most definitely paid the price for trying to slip some of the latest and greatest under the sharp eyes of the TSA (and cutting it close on time, of course)."

Look at this ugly thing:

The Lenovo X300 Ultralight Thinkpad or something. Can PC laptop makers not learn anything from Apple? I've not seen a decent update to a PC laptop keyboard design in ages. Four mouse buttons. That dumb mouse nub thing in the middle of the keys. Fragile, cheap looking keys. This laptop looks to have great features, and I'm not saying Apple laptop design is the standard to judge by, but seriously, that thinkpad crap is ugly!

"We (Jona Bechtolt and Claire L. Evans) excitedly came up with the AirMail idea minutes after we watched Steve Jobs' keynote at Macworld. It's obvious, sure, but we're all about making it happen."
More like... "SHIT... how the fuck will we afford that thing, it's astronomical in price....
you know, I think I have an idea..."

Come on! the dell is a ugly piece of kit... look at it...http://www.jasondunn.com/wp...

The dell is all well and good, but at the end of the day it may not be built as well as the macbooks (not sure about fragile looking Air) and it runs vista, which means it will be slower by definition. Its a shame you can't do, but putting OS X on the dell would make it worth buying, especially at that price.
- this statement is rife with poor assumptionswrong
- assumptions maybe, but why would anyone use an operating system that tries too hard to be OSX and runs on 70% of main memory when its idling?Samush
- The Dell XPS M1330 is built very well, look at many of the reviews on the net and you'll find it's built with the same material as the Air. As for the vista claim, i like it, runs like a dream on my system.Killer

I agree, the Macbook Air should be around £600 as standard without modification/add-ons. When taking specs into account the starting £1,199.00 price tag is crazy, only a moron would buy such hardware at that price.
The Dell XPS M1330 eats n' shits the Macbook Air for price, hardware specifications and in my opinion...even design. It's the better option across all areas.
Apple need to get the finger out and actually think about the consumer that's buying the hardware.

I think it sucks. The price is fucking ridiculous. Maybe if the flash-drive version was £800 I might consider. £2k is an insult. I want a laptop, looks like it's a MacBook after all. Thanks for making my mind up, Apple.

if any of you "creative" people want to do real work on a laptop for any extended period, you're mental! do you really think they created an entirely new laptop from scratch, included innovative technologies and made a rather large commotion about it without researching what the market wanted. they're not stupid... i hope for their sakes, or they'll be a lot of egg on a lot of faces.

It makes me laugh how many people want to laugh at the people getting so bent over apple.
You'll be one of us one day. Just you wait.

I love and live by Apple, but this new laptop is over priced and is weak. They Fail...

this thread is still so damn funny.

I have my reasons.

Apparently you have no idea who the target are.
- dskz0
they missed their target audience by 1000$
- Everyone I have talked to liked the price to be around $1300. Then they would "consider" buying it.Jaline
- If it were £800 would be realistic but they're just taking the piss with £1199kalkal
- More like £1000, apple are taken the piss.roundabout
