The Macbook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable and ultrapointless. Until I can fold my laptop up like a piece of paper and put it in my pocket, it doesn’t really matter if it’s 0.16 or 0.76 inches thick. In fact I don’t really see the point in making it uber thin for portability just so I can carry around a tote bag full of attachments like an external DVD player special Ethernet jack attachment.
I will admit that Apple likes to raise the bar, and if I were to buy a new laptop today, I’d go for the thinnest most powerful notebook available, but we may need to re-access that which constitutes utility opposed to obsessing over smaller technology.
With an impressive 1.6GHz or 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 80GB hard drive, and 2GB of built in RAM, the Macbook Air boasts more than enough power to satisfy the casual as well as the technical users.
