Default MacBook Air

Sweetest laptop I have ever seen. It starts at $1800 with a 1.6 core 2 duo intel chip, 2 gigs, and 80gb memory, no cd/dvd drive, keyboard lights up. ( To upgrade to a solid state hard drive that only has 64gb of memory costs $1000, haha)

Threw up a post about this maybe an hour or two ago and no ones commented on it.
Ill be getting one the day the Apple store near me gets them in. No doubt absolutely SEXY as hell. I love it. The external optical drive is a little setback for it... but it completely redeems itself with a tiny sexy external for only $100, and the ability to use any other computers optical drive on your network. I'm not ranting about how great I think this thing is or anything....

Oh, my bad I see it now, oh well mines gives more detail . Yea man this laptop is sweet, I'd buy it if I had the money, and I have another year before I should really start looking for a new computer so oh well. Are you going to but the optical drive, or just use other drives wirelessly?

P.S Do you have an iphone? The new update is nice, it feels like they just have that thing flying now, it seems quicker with everything.

Sexy but i'll stick with the full size Macbook Pro. I need all the additional features, everything except for the optical drive.

I will say that Jobs is a showman though, he pulled the thing out of an envelope to unveil it!
I would rather an iPhone here in Canada so i'm not more and more tempted to just import and unlock.

small laptops are sweet. I love my 12.1" dell 700m, it goes everywhere with me.I think toshiba has some nice ultralight weight laptops out under 3lbs with no optical drives etc.
