When I got my MacBook, I was going to buy the Air, but here's a few things that put me off:

1) Only 1.86GHz
2) Storage, not enough, I need 320GB at least
3) Price - quite expensive for what it is
4) Trackpad - that button is so annyoing
5) Lack of ports

Anybody else agree with me?

Um, why exactly were u gonna buy the air then?

When I got my MacBook, I was going to buy the Air, but here's a few things that put me off:

1) Only 1.86GHz It's an ultraportable
2) Storage, not enough, I need 320GB at least It's an ultraportable
3) Price - quite expensive for what it is It's an ultraportable, which is far cheaper than it's competitors might I add.
4) Trackpad - that button is so annyoing Every other laptop in the world except for Apple's has one
5) Lack of ports It's an ultraportable

Anybody else agree with me?

And don't hate a product because it doesn't fit your needs.

Good for you *stifles yawn*

I am right this second eating a cheese and salad sandwich. The cheese is Jarlsberg, a favourite of mine, especially the slightly mature Norwegian brand with the black label not the supermarket repackaged 'lite' variant.

We could start a WHAT CHEESE DO YOU EAT WHEN USING YOUR MBA and it would be more fun than this thread.... and we would learn something we already didn't know.

if the macbook would come with the MBA screen and a maybe FW800 port (or a Expresscard slot) then it would be the perfect computer for me.

the MBA still is an amazing machine and i'm eager to see what the next update will be.

Do you feel the need to be told you've done the right thing? If so, post this thread at MacBook forum. I'm sure you'd get much more support there. Or you may find out more about cognitive dissonance.

When I got my MacBook, I was going to buy the Air, but here's a few things that put me off:

1) Only 1.86GHz - that's a lot for most users. It has better cache than your MacBook too. So for the average user this would perform better.
2) Storage, not enough, I need 320GB at least - Neat, most people don't.
3) Price - quite expensive for what it is - Nope, it isn't. What it is, is an ultraportable. One of the cheapest. You're wrong.
4) Trackpad - that button is so annyoing - To you.
5) Lack of ports - How is there a lack?? In the wireless world of today, I could live with none.

Anybody else agree with me? - Nope, I think you're foolish to state the every-one-already-knows specs of a computer, and the shortcomings every one knows. We're so fascinated you posted what we already know, but to go even further to trash it as well. Go you!

*sigh*

Apple is all about compromise and the Air just follows on with the ideology. I can make the compromise by using remote desktop connection for my hard work, but lots of people can't and they suffer the wrath of microsoft because of it.

 

[dudeitsjay]

He means on his MB, you know the one he's so in love with that he saw fit to start a thread on the MBA forum just to say (reading between the lines) what a POS he thinks the MBA is.

oohhh. Was gunna say... 320gig conversion on a MBA would be sick

anyhoo where's scottsdale to reply this guy down.

Be careful what you ask for...

Not particularly relevant I know, but infinitely more so than this embarrassing thread you saw fit to post.

MMM, love Jarlsberg. Sandwich sounds great, I may go make one now.

Agree re: the thread, why go and pee in the corner on the item you didn't buy? But I read it and responded to it - mostly because of the Hyundai / BMW and Jarlsberg references

 

[IgnatiusTheKing]

I am shocked...SHOCKED...that ZunePod has neglected to respond to his thread again lately.

Shocked.

 

[AirUser]

his name is ZunePod, so, whatever...
maybe, he find a school for going amok....

 

[jamesryanbell]

What a ridiculous thread. I can't even believe I'm taking the time to respond. Threadstarter: What was the point of posting this in the Air forum?

 

[The Toddfather]

Well said.

ahahahaha, fantastic post.

Dude, I'm so with you on this one. 100% agree. I too was going to buy a Macbook Air. But here's a few things that put me off:

1. Doesn't have pepperoni's on it
2. No sauce
3. Crust isn't freshly baked
4. Not enough mushrooms or sausages
5. Lack of nutritional value

I ended up buying a large pizza instead. What is wrong with this piece of crap MBA, it doesn't meet any of my needz!!!

 

[dubhe]

I like the fact the MBA is the way it is, it stops stupid people from buying it.

 

[Blair230]

This might be an obvious question but in a "pointless" thread where everyone posts and complains of said fact...does that not render the reply post pointless as well?

Yes I do understand the hypocracy of myself posting a post about pointless replies to a pointless post.

Try saying it five times fast

 

[xparaparafreakx]

It too expensive.

Damn your right, I paid two taxes. The apple tax and the thin tax. I could of just got a regular Macbook

My computer has more memory.

Im sure it does, I mean with 4GB of memory, you do have a lot of memory to use...wait what the *uck, why are you using windows 32bit. Ill take that back, you only have 3GB of memory. Does not seem that much more then me doesn't it.

The processor it weak,

Yes it is weak. I can't do my Maya rendering here. It sucks.

The hard drive is too small,

Why yes it is small hard drive. It isn't a 2.5" hard drive like your laptop, it is a 1.8" hard drive or SSD.

It lacks firewire.

So does your Uni macbook. I do want firewire on my air though and not that 4 pin *hit firewire 800. Just give us one firewire 800 port.

Fixed it for you.

hahah that's pretty clever. and the thread title shouldn't by "Things that I hate about MBA," it should be "MBA features that don't fit my requirements," making it a pointless thread, in my opinion.
