Have you seen the new ultra-thin laptop from Apple? It looks amazing! Even when it’s all folded up, the MacBook Air (sounds kind of like a shoe by Nike) is just 0.76 inches wide. I was trying to visualize that, and I stacked up a couple of CD jewel cases on my desk and got out the ruler. Although my old-fashioned wooden ruler is not exactly a precision instrument, I would guess that the two cases put together are wider than the MacBook Air. Wow, that’s thin.
Is anyone else having a Monty Python flashback? “It’s wafer-thin.” But I digress.
I won’t list all the features here (read the specs), but I will tell you that this is no 3.0 pound weakling. The MacBook Air comes with a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size lighted keyboard, built-in iSight camera, and the latest suite of Apple’s user-friendly software.
We’ve been a mostly Mac family for a long time, and I’d love to add this beauty to our collection. I might have to make a trip down to the Apple Store to see it in person. If you’ve already had a chance to try it out, please share your thoughts!
WELCOME! I can't teach you how to monetize your blog, but I can offer you some mostly intelligent conversation, moderately geeky tech talk, very funny mom stories, with the occasional rant thrown in for sanity. I'm so glad you're here!

I really like Apple products. However I have learned from the past not to go for the latest release until it has been out for a while and they have found the real world bugs.
Case in point – the G4 titanium, the Newton, the 8600 okay I am starting to date myself…

I have a serious case of desire for this thing. I have been looking at all sorts of machines to find something extremely small and lightweight that I could carry around to write anywhere. This seems like exactly the machine I have been wanting – although I would really prefer the one with a solid-state hard drive. Then we are really talking some extreme money . . .

It is so pretty!!! I want one!
The sad thing though is my credit card statement would be thicker than the notebook if I went out and bought one.

Oh wow, this looks like the most amazing new toy!! I wish weddings weren’t so expensive, else I might have considered buying one! I see they opened an iStore in the mall near me – didn’t know South Africa knew about Apple even!!

Who knew “air” could be so beautiful? It’s almost as pretty as my iPhone. And I can’t wait to start using the new iPhone apps. Apple’s stock price dips just make it a buying opportunity, for those who have that kind of money to invest.

I’m not an Apple person – the only product of theirs I own is an ipod, and thats only a few months old. But I saw this Mac Air on the TV the other day and thought … nice! Yes please can I have one.
