Macworld 2008: My Thoughts - Part Three

Jan 20, 2008 - i agree. they should price it at like almost 800 bucks. it's WAY overpriced.

Jan 21, 2008 - I agree with your comment. It's my opinion that Apple didn't mean for the MB Air to be a "main" household computer. It is meant for travel/Business people. Data, nowadays, is stored on flash (thumb) drive. No need for an optical drive. I think the MB Air is a good concept, but I think the general public will need to be further persuaded on this for it to sell. I like it, but it is definitely pricey.

Jan 21, 2008 - I think apple should have released a "normal" desktop computer at around 800 or 900 hundred dollars (not like the mac mini an actual desktop). I believe David feels his way also. I don't have a mac because I'm too poor I wish they wold have a cheaper desktop option.

Jan 21, 2008 - watch it at the "nalts" channel entitled "apple's obsession to thin" hahaha.

Jan 21, 2008 - Hey thecreativeone, I think you are right about the overpriced MacBook Air. I think that Apple will bring down the price pretty soon like they did with the iPhone. If it then costs around $1299, like you said, then I might think of buying one. For now lets wait and see what happens.

Jan 22, 2008 - "Remote Disk" is nothing new. You've been able to share an optical drive over your local network for years.

Rexnicek Says:

Jan 24, 2008 - I think it's unbelievable that  locked the iPhone... I mean it sucks that it's taking, well till now, like 4 days to hack it.

Jan 25, 2008 - id rather get a macbook

mattscoke Says:

Jan 25, 2008 - What a fucking moron... they made the smart move in releasing the MBA. The MBA is a step towards the future of laptops. The optical drive is definately going to be leaving all computers soon.

thecreativeone Says:

Jan 26, 2008 - I don't think this justifies calling me a "f*cking moron." Watch your language in my comments. And I have to disagree about the optical drive comment. CDs and DVDs for software are not going anywhere anytime soon.

Jan 26, 2008 - I think that the MacBook Air will have a similar demise to the PowerMac G4 Cube. Their both small, REALLY expensive, and were not as powerful as they could have been.

Jan 29, 2008 - Well when i first saw it i was amazed, then i thought about it, i was like screw it, ill just get a a newer ibook

kippis05 Says:

Feb 10, 2008 - I would MUCH rather prefer a major update in the MacBook Pro line, which I've seen rumors of another chipset update, and the possible addition of the multi-touch trackpad as a standard on new MBPs... We'll see in the next few months. And $1799 as a starting price for the Air? NO! No optical drive, lack of peripherals, same size screen, and so on? Nice idea, but I don't see it becoming a successful product. Save your time, get a MacBook, or a MBP, you WILL not be sorry. BAM!! :)

kippis05 Says:

Feb 10, 2008 - And by same size screen I meant as compared to the MacBook's 13.3 inch screen.

AppleFanForever Says:

Feb 10, 2008 - Nice point. At first I saw the MacBook Air I was like" I want it. Then i hear these good points. and i don't want it anymore. anyway i just got a macbook in October of 2007.

stephenscounty Says:

Feb 13, 2008 - When you said that you didn't think the new MacBook would take off so well because of the price, I don't think you were thinking about the audience. Because earlier in the video you said that it was for a person who travels, or is a college student, etc.

Feb 19, 2008 - Great vid m8 raised sum interesting points. But u realy should consider uresslf lucky over here in the uk the starting price is 1,200 GBP (great British pounds). And the less memory but faster is 2,000 GBP. So this converted 1st wun $2,400 USD and the 2nd $4,000 now there realy is a reason to shoot ureself

Mar 17, 2008 - hey david great video..can u teel me y u dont like the iMac i have one so im kinda curious thanks

lawrencejob1 Says:

Mar 26, 2008 - BTW MacBook Air syncs from Windows or Mac..

dudewtfwtf1 Says:

Apr 2, 2008 - i would pay $799 for HP laptop, macbook air would sell like pancakes if it was $599. Only thing i really really love about apple is ipod/iphone. They have done just fantastic job on those. But laptop,desktop,appletv and time capsule thing not really into it.

a11562086 Says:

Apr 6, 2008 - it makes sense tho cause the macbook air is an ultra portable laptop so if u compae it to other ultra portable laptops its actually cheeper . and the air offers more than other sony for example ultra portable laptops. but if i was apple i would of priced it at 1000

nickypickysticky8 Says:

May 28, 2008 - i think the macbook air would act as a secondary laptop, or a laptop for one who uses a desktop most of the time. they would want this to maybe go on a plane, or train, or a coffee shop or something like that. even if that is the purpose, who really needs 2 laptops?
