No YOU are. I'm talking about the incredible piece of flawed form over function called the Macbook Air.

Clearly we arrive at our conclusions from different paths. I leave you to your completely undemanding Mac ownership.


OK, you have made your point...you dislike the air.

not everyone has shared the poor experiences with their machines that you have...so move along. you certainly won't sway anyone's opinion in a macbook air thread.

just drop it
 
No. Plus the 60/90W Magsafes are straight plugs, not right-angled - which was the reason for my reaction a few posts back, as I have actually tried it and wasn't fishing around in the dark.

@AIRniloc: I haven't dropped it. But I have dropped Sony's, a couple even lighter than the Air, and they've fared considerably better ;)

As for the subject, unless anyone else comes in with anything lucid apart from the usual 'what I own is best' talk, consider it dropped - it's not worth it. The erstwhile Air has been dropped off at an AASP which is also looking at two other MBP's of mine at the moment - did I mention that out of every Apple notebook I've had over the last year, all but one UB Macbook has been in for repairs? - where hopefully they can actually do something.
