A better name for the MacBook Air?

[zioxide]

Everyone is going to call it the MBA anyway.

Master of Business Administration?

Master of Business Administration?

If you're getting one, you many need one. Though with school loans. Geez. Though alot of MBA candidates use MBPs and those aren't cheap.

What better machine for a MBA student but a MBA, lite, yet can handle all the MBA sorts of needs. They already have enough heavy books.

When the MacBook name was announced, everyone thought that was really crap and complained on here. Within a few months people got used to the name and the moaning stopped.

It will be the same with the MacBook Air.

I think the moaning probably stopped because people got tired of complaining, not because they like the name... you'll still see remarks about the "MacBook" and "MacPro" naming conventions...

I think AirBook would have been better.

And I don't think it could have been called MacBook nano. If anything, it would have been the MacBook mini, which seems to roll off the tongue(sp?) better, and leave MacBook nano for a future MacBook.

I've been saying I'll call mine Airhead. A term of endearment for the SSD.

The first time it really ticks me off it will be renamed to Frisbee.

The other machines are sulking and already consider it The Interloper.

Really I can hardly wait for it to get here. Will it have a different sticker, will it be wrapped in a manila envelope?

Hey for $3k they should put a retro rainbow sticker in the box

I do believe I still have a few of those lying around. Hey, call me old fashioned, but I'm still in a tizzy about ditching the six-colored logo.
