Some time ago Apple announced the MacBook Air - a ridiculously lightweight and thin MacBook. Although it lacks a lot of features (internal CD drive etc) it can be upgraded to have a solid state HDD (which is fast and near-silent, not to mention very reliable) and relies on wireless to do almost anything.
What’s more impressive is how it fits this all, plus a full size backlit keyboard and LED screen into the thinnest notebook so far.
Apparently uptake has been high, which surprises me. The MacBook Air is a feat of engineering, but the lack of a CD drive and limit of just one USB port limit its practical use, especially at a cost of at least £1199.
As far as I’m concerned, the MacBook Air is the Bugatti Veyron of notebooks. Incredible engineering and ahead of its time, but perhaps beyond what the current market can handle. The sales will probably prove me wrong, but at least I can say this.
If this is the future of notebook technology, it looks promising.
