Macbook Air

[hascet]

Macs are nice for their sleek looks, portability, and speed. They boot up extremely fast which is nice when you just want to check something online real quick and don't want to wait a minute for your computer to turn on.

Ok, I see what you guys are saying. Portability.

One downside of portability that the OP mentioned. If it drops, more than likely it breaks. Almost all lappys have that downside, but this one probably even more so.

Borat, its actually 1500. The extra 200 is an important feature.

Like I said earlier, this will be for a very specific niche market.

Aluminum can be both a pro and a con. On one hand you drop it and it dents. On the other hand, the aluminum pads the drop preventing any components from being damaged.

Interesting Magsafe though. Wonder if I could buy it.

To sum it up:
-No replaceable battery (Your laptop is going to die in a year or so.)
-5 hour battery life
-No spill proof keyboard (think about it, no matter how careful you are, eventually you're going to spill something on it. Especially with something as portable as this.)
-It's not the lightest laptop, and it's barely the thinnest.
-Tiny hard drive by today's standards.

I still think that's an bad price to pay. That and the downtime you have to face to send it in.
