Why Apple’s MacBook Air is Hot Air
I know Apple Inc. announced the MacBook Air at Macworld recently, and it has some really cool features — nice sleek design, small, cutely fits in a manilla envelope. But one of my first questions is: will the necessary peripheral attachments fit in the same manilla envelope? For example, the MacBook Air does not have a CDROM drive — therefore one needs an external one to burn CDs. The MacBook Air has few jacks, and I don’t recall a FireWire port being one that it had.
Unfortunately, the pricetag is seriously high as well. I think it’s a good start, but I’ll wait a few generations to see what the upgrades will be.
