true, but the average customer of the macbook air is most likley not going to have a MBP or even another laptop for that matter. They need a laptop that has everything built in. Portability is one thing, but i still need the extra functions!!! and for the price...man, i'd probably get a regular macbook for that matter. 13.3 and its not that big at all. definetly just as portable!

I know...if I already owned a MBP and was looking for something lighter...I would go for it.

But, I dunno...as my main computer. It may not be any better than a macbook with regards to performance and memory. Only big benefit is cosmesis and 3 lbs lighter.

I dunno...I am torn.

I may have to wait until the 15" MBP is finally updated and decide then.

the macbook air for some users will be their primary (though i don't see why).... but for most will be a second puter....

LOLrance · 01-16-2008, 04:38 AM

No only that, but did you guys see photos of the macbook air? The touch pad looks pretty dam big, but the left mouse click looks SOOO TINY AND SMALL!

For me....I would have loved to have the old 12" Powerbook...updated to today's specs. Its the perfect size for what I need.

When they stopped making it...and came out with 13.3"...I held back, because I did not like the black/white plastic. I wanted the metal look. So, even though this one is thinner....it is still 13.3.
