Chances are, you've read my last blog post, and you've found out how little Apple has to offer this year. Well apparently, it's less than I thought.Here's what we agreed on from my last post about the Air:
- The processor is so-so
- 2GB of RAM is good
- 80GB hard drive is too small
- 1 USB port is NOT enough
- 13.3 inch screen is a bit too small
- $1,800 is way overpriced, but hey, so is every computer Apple makes
- Lack of Firewire sucks
- Batteries that can't be replaced by the user is just plain dumb of Apple
- NOT HAVING AN OPTICAL DRIVE IS IDIOTIC
Now that we got that straight, I'll update you on why the Air sucks:
The Air's USB port is so inconveniently placed, many USB items can't even be placed into it. You can't even stick this flash drive into it! I can tell you right now that my 6-port USB hub won't fit in there, even though that's exactly what an Air would need, knowing that it only has one USB port.
In a recent discovery by the Engadget guys, the MacBook Air is slow. The slowest Mac ever, to be exact. But hey,that's what happens when you cram a processor less than 1/3 the size of a normal processor into a computer. So basically, this 2000 dollar laptop with 2GB RAM and no optical drive to have to read is slower than a $700 laptop with Vista Premium, 2GB RAM, reads CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray with a mid-range graphics card (the Mac's graphics card isn't even as good as mine, and my computer cost $300). Whoever gets this notebook must be pretty dumb, knowing that most Mac owners are already somewhat mental.
