MacBook Air – no go :(

Jup, its out, and it’s gorgeous.

But what? 2GB of memory and not upgradeable?

They certainly had a lot of squeezing to do to fit all into such a tiny shell, but once I upgraded to 3GB on my MacBook Pro I made an oath never to go back to 2GB again. I would have never believed it, but adding memory really is the best thing to do if you want to increase the your productivity. The difference is like night and day, even if you’re working only in a few apps (ok, thats CS3 apps I’m taking about).

So no MacBook Air for me…

I’m thinking that Air is not targeted at us CS3 users. 13 inch screen with the pallettes in PS,DW, or Illu? i don’t think so. that thing is targeting people who use tools with less of a footprint visually.

sooooo….
just who *is* going to buy one? What’s the target audience?
not me – I’ll take a MacBook when I’m ready to upgrade next month… I need the ports (esp NIC and firewire) port (DV camera)

Air isn’t more me either – which makes me quit happy since I don’t need to be sorry about my 7 months old MacBook Pro.
However I think that there’s lot of people who need something like Air. Let’s face it, how many really need more than 2GB of memory or firewire port?
