No. Hence:Triangulum said:Wha? The 1.6 GHz is A$2500, and for 1.8 GHz and a smaller hard drive it costs $4400? Am I misreading?

Gee, hard to impress?iamsickofyear12 said:When they make a notebook as thin as that one that is actually useable (eg. CD/DVD drive, faster hard drive, more ports) and not ridiculously overpriced I will be impressed.
I also am impressed also. Step in the right direction imo.S1M0 said:Gee, hard to impress?
Personally, i think its quite astounding that Apple has managed to build a laptop that thin and yet run at that kind of speed (not very fast, but still). You'd imagine that heat would tend to be a problem when building a computer with parts that close together, so it would've taken so real problem solving.
Gotta hand it to the Apple engineers on this one.
I don't really feel the MBA design is too 'revolutionary', the lack of optical drive; soldered RAM etc.. is common practice in many ultraportables.The_highwayman said:i'm impressed by the mba for the simple reason that it has the potential to designate a trend in future ultraportable design. I mean, this is just the beginning. Other companies will follow with similar products over time, as they did with the ipod, which set a standard in design that others tried to reach.
It's not perfect, but it bodes well for the future.
