Please use the

button and add an "T" in front of every IMG tag, thus making it a TIMG and /TIMG tag to show us thumbnail versions of your images, which are clickable of course. That removes the horizontal scrolling from this thread and makes it easier to navigate, as the netiquette on many boards is to use images with a maximum width of 800 pixel or use the TIMG tags.

Example:

Where's the Air? I can't see it, it's so small.

Thanks for the comparison pics! Clearly shows how elegant and beautiful the Air is!

All Windoz laptop looks like a brick next to any Apple laptop, even the Macboo Pros.

Yeah, but it's not a very fair comparison with a few of them. The Alienware is a gaming laptop, and a pretty decent one at that (for its size).

It has a really sexy backlit keyboard too.

The M11x, also has a faster CPU, faster GPU, cell card support, backlit keyboard and lasts about 7hrs. While costing $50 less.

No side-by-side with the MacBook Pros? (PS: Are those all yours? What do you do?)

Also, notice the "footprint" of each machine. All the Windows laptops in the pictures have about equal or smaller footprints than the Air.

The Fujitsu p7120 came out in Q4 2005 and was/is the best ultra-portable/sub-notebook I've owned. After I swapped the HD out with an SSD, it had no moving parts whatsoever; no fan too... Ah, the good old days.

They could've sold a billion more Airs if they made it all black.

Nah, silver is the only way to go. The MacBook used to be in black, if it was truly that popular apple would have kept the black color or anodized e aluminum to black for their products. The silver aluminum stands out and is immediately recognized as an Apple product, there is a sea of black laptops with no immediate brand recognition...

Wow, I thought I had a lot of laptops.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. I and MANY other people loved Blackbooks.

You may be right from the marketing standpoint, but I always coveted my bro's BlackBook compared to my WhiteBook. Looks more bad-ass. Well, at least silver is less precious.
