Apple revamps MacBook Air, adds new 11.6" model

Believeth in This........

Ain't it the truth. Sometimes you just have to sit them down and say, "and video editing is why, boys and girls, that on the eight day, God invented the desktop computer"!

Sadly, with the current state of faith so badly in disarray, I doubt that you could get this point across, even it you floated it by them on Sunday.

Well first I'd like to point out the the Macbook Air, hasn't been deemed indestructible.

After that, you need to have a good talk with yourself, and decide, "plastic vs metal", and correspondingly, "chips or dents".

Most netbooks won't run Crysis. Make no mistake, this is a netbook. albeit a very potent, very advanced, third generation issue.

Since we now have 6 core CPUs in desktops, the bar has been raised quite a bit in the lower ranges of the performance envelope as well.

I'm actually quite happy with the 11.6 Air. The display is not even close to a netbook.
Performance wise its nowhere close to a net book. The integrated graphics and SSD makes it feel really zippy for most applications.

I own a 15 inch Dell laptop and a 15 inch MacBook Pro but I prefer to carry this new MBA with me when I'm running from one meeting to another.

Unless you have actually worked with an Apple laptop its easy to bash the MBA based on specs alone.

But its much faster than what the specs lend you to believe.

I use both PC's and Macs for work. Unless you're planning to do heavy video editing then the MBA is not for you.

But with airlines cutting down on what you can carry with you on flights and TSA not bothering you if you have the MBA it's morevthan worth it
