Well I don't think there is necessarily an order such as you
pointed out, as I think the MBA is really targeting a specific
audience rather than the majority of notebook users, but we'll see...
For myself, I actually really do need the optical drive / burner as
well as increased processor bandwidth, as I both go over photos in the
field with photogs and create dvds / cds on the fly of such.., as well
as also do some photo editing. So for me, I love my lil MB!...
However, I can't wait to see one of these lil beasties at my apple
store and really do love love love the small streamlined size!...
Smiles,
Cara :)

What I don't like is the fact that there is only one USB port. I like
wireless, but I use a flash drive and an external hard drive and I
need two. Also, why, oh why, did they have to take off the LAN port?
I'm sticking with the tradditional Macbook. BTW, I'm guessing that it
is now going to be Macbook, Macbook Air, and finally Macbook Pro at
the top. Is this correct?

Subject: Re: the new apple macbook air. an opinion and review from a
laptopuser
UK Pricing is about £1100 or so dont quote me on that. check the
apple store
site for pricing
these machines are ideal for a studenjt, mobile user, business
executive etc
who doesn't need all the hardware of a mac book or mac book pro. I
personally wouldn't be interested in this as a laptop as I dont want
the hassle of
setting up wirless network points on differing locations, setting up
hosts to
run the virtual CD system etc.
the display is LED based rather than LCD so can be thinner but from
what
I've found on the testing I wouldn't drop it or be too rough on the
screen.
in the end in reference to josh's email/// its upto the end user
as to
whether they wish to use expansion from USB modules, etc or wireless
networks but
you will actually find if you are a student especially in the UYK,m
though
colleges have Wireless ethernet installed it is only to B and G
standards for a
start and their wireless ports no not span buildings throughout a
site. so
ethernet cables are actually a must for a student in a college or
university.
anyhow enough from me.
