MacBook Air: Nice, or Ew?

[mrat93]

I personally hate the name "MacBook Air." So what's your opinion on the name?

I LOVE IT

 

[Snips]

I think it's fine, and has grown on me the past few days.

Will be strengthened if there's justification in the product spec, i.e. completely wireless.

If it's just a lightweight MacBook, I would prefer MacBook Nano.

I think the name is terrible but if its an amazing product they can call it whatever they want.

 

[MicBook]

I'll have to see the thing first it could go either way for me

 

[ilflyya]

Can you pump it up?

Sounds like an athletic shoe to me. Maybe I lack vision, but I'd have no use for such a device, but it is cool that apple is capable of such a thing. When solid state gets up to 160G, then I'll pay attention.

 

[AirmanPika]

Well Apple and Nike DO have a good working agreement...

 

[Shaduu]

I'm afraid it's grown on me over the last couple of days so I don't really mind what it's called as long as it's ultraportable.

 

[bushman1]

dose anyone remember apple's patent to build cell cards and receivers into the back of a monitor in a laptop to reduce RF interference.

I think it's a beautiful name! No negative connotations for me, it sounds clean and pure and simple.

 

[GeekLawyer]

I've heard worse...

If it's a real product and an actual name, it will grow on us and we'll come to love it.

 

[caj]

it is nice, but i want to know what is in it. "something is in the AIR"

 

[Dimwhit]

I seem to recall a bunch of complaining when Apple went to the MacBook and MacBook Pro names. But we're all used to it now. I'm not worried.

 

[iSee]

EDIT: ^^^^^^^^^ Yes, exactly ^^^^^^^^^ Pretty much everyone likes MB and MBP now because they are pretty nice machines...

The name doesn't matter much; it's all about what it can let me do.

 

[PlaceofDis]

i'm reserving final judgment until i see a product.

Exactly. They can call it MacBook Turd for all I care. If it's a great product, it will sell well.

I loathe it. And you may have noticed that it rhymes with VAPORWARE.

 

[Decrepit]

In what language? If it was the "Mayp or Fair", you might have had something.

 

[marclapierre13]

Might as well call it the "MacBook Crap"




...incase you didnt get that, I think the name sucks

 

[anotherarunan]

yeah i hate it too, and for that reason believe that the rumoured notebook will NOT be called "macbook air"...just doesnt go with the other mac-endings (pro,mini,nano,classic,etc)

 

[karenflower]

I don't get it when people use the argument that it doesn't follow existing product naming rules - Apple is about innovation, right?

It sounds perfectly plausible to me.

 

[MacinDoc]

Put me down for eww.

 

[thefunkymunky]

Maybe Apple aren't releasing a MacBook Air? Maybe the "There's something in the air" refers to Apple iTunes Rentals and the new sub-notebook will be called MacBook nano. The new updated Mac mini is to be relaunched as a Mac nano just like the iPod mini was. Just a suggestion.

What's in a name?

Yep at first I thought sounded kind of silly but now I've grown to like it. I could definitly see Apple using the name.
