I loved the MacBook Air and had always planned to pick up the first revision of the product, hoping for a bit of a speed and storage boost.
However, with the release of the new Alu MacBooks, I feel a lot of what was appealing about the MBA has been equaled by a cheaper, much more powerful machine.
Who else feels this way? Yes, with MacBooks you gain 2.5 pounds, but you save money and more important get much faster processors, ability for more ram, and a lot more storage at higher speed (comparing hard drives not SSD).
Now, when I go to get my next notebook. I don't know which I'll pick. I love portability being on my desktop most of the time, but I must say you sure get a lot more with the MacBook, and now it looks arguably as nice as the Air.
Thoughts?
