Tech Tuesday: New member of Macbook Family…MacBook Air
My first reaction to the MacBook Air was man that thing is gorgeous! (Yes I’m a bit of a Geek Girl and I get giddy with new technology, especially when its a new Apple product) 
It is very sleek and from the looks of it, was something I needed to have.
Well not so much after really looking at it… its got several things that would make me move over to the MacBook or MacBook Pro. Simply the fact that it only weighs 3.5 lbs is a nice feature but wouldn’t convince me to buy it.
First of all its only got 1 USB port and well frankly I usually have at least 2 things that need to be plugged in. (hey Steve what’s up with that??) Secondly it has no firewire port at all. I think that the MacBook Airwould be a great for the road warriors, taking it to conferences/unconferences but not necessarily for new media makers. The other thing I didn’t really like was that it was only 80 GB. I have almost that on my iPod, so again not a real big selling point for me.
Now it does have some additional cool feature like the fact it only weighs 2 lbs, has a multi-touch screen and the monitor is 13″ inches. Not to forget… that it has the built-in iSight camera.
I’ll be following this to see what the general consensus and how the MacBook Air will do in sales. I’d love to hear your comments.
