You are an insulting idiot. I have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting in the bank, doing nothing. I could have any Mac product I want -- and I do; I have one of everything -- but I CHOSE to retire my Pro in favour of a MacBook Air because I'm a writer who needs something lightweight. Oh, and because I'm not stupid enough to think that an optical drive is a particularly useful tool in 2012 with all the wireless, bluetooth, and cloud capabilities going on. DVDs? Really? People still use those? I haven't touched a cord or a disc in six years, except to plug in a charger. I can't even remember the last time I used a DVD or a flash drive. Why? Because the Air revolutionized the way mobile people work in a substantially digital age. I can carry a MacBook Air and an iPad and do more with less weight on my shoulder than that of one bulky Pro. Just because it's not useful to you, does't mean it's not a blessing for somebody else. Realize that some people use their machines for more than just browsing and music and movies. Some of us are professionals. Yeah. That's right. I'm not some broke-ass student who has ONE machine to my name, using my solitary laptop to play my decades-old DVDs. I have an iMac for when I need to work at a desk... I have a Mini and several AppleTVs for my media centres... I have a MacBook Air for working on the go... and I have an iPad for reviewing and editing instead of maintaining piles and piles of paperwork. See, I can afford a tool for every purpose. Why would my Air need to be anything more or less than what it is? It suits a very specific purpose for me and I love it. It does everything my Pro did without the weight and the useless drives. I write successful scripts for TV and film, I copy files, I stream music and video, I edit music and video, I browse the internet, I buy and sell real estate... what exactly is it lacking when it's clearly helping me to be so successful?
I seem to recall a lot of people calling the iPad useless when it was first announced. Those same people went out and bought one months later. But if you want to start slinging mud... learn proper English before you insult people. It's "you're right" not "your right", as "you're" is a conjunction of "you" and "are"; "they're doing" not "there doing"; and "THESE are the specs of the current MacBook Airs" not "THIS is the specs of the current air's". Really. If you're speaking in plurals, it's not a possessive. The MacBook Air doesn't own anything. You sound like someone who can't afford the luxury of solid state and cloud storage, so you make fun of people who aren't confined to cords like your decades-old ghetto arse. Kinda like people who were anti-cell phone when cell phones first came out. Next time, try to be helpful without the derogatory commentary.
Also don't see a reason why the next Mac Mini update should be after June. Or maybe at WWDC with some bigger improvements...
