MacBook Air showed up yesterday!
 

Fedex man brought me a present yesterday...MacBook Air.

coolest things so far are the solid state hdd makes it dead silent and i had my blackberry curve sitting on the table next to it, and the laptop is actually thinner.

confession though is...i ordered it because it looked cool, I don't know how to use a mac :helpme
maybe after i stare at it for a few more days I may have to give it away to a NicheBucks affiliate.

whats the going rate for one of them?

it starts at $ 1799

i'll take it :glugglug

two models one at $1799 but I got suckered into the solid state hdd and I think slightly faster processor which made it $3k

I hated mac until I installed quicksilver.

Check it out, spend some time learning how to use it and you will fall in love with your mac. Once you are using it as more than just a task launcher it is absolutely amazing.

man that's amazing! Show us some pics.... MacBook Air is definitely the coolest product which has been made to date! Solid State HDD is monster.... man you gave around 1k for that thing only lol :)

Congratulations, you've definitely made a great purchase!

Thank for the tip!

I'm not a mac user, but I was very close to buying one.

There's also boot camp, which will let you run whatever PC-based OS that you want to on your mac.

after about 1 to 2 days of playing around you willl be a Mac Pro and kiss the FEDEX man next time u see him

I am by no means a photographer but it's thinner than my blackberry!!

its amazing i have one once you get use to the mac way of doing things you will never look back!

Good luck with it!

those things you need an external HD for right?

mine's got an internal solid state 64gig, the other version is internal 80gig normal hdd. you do have to use an external dvd/cd drive

sounds great , my daughter wants one of those :thumbsup

basically it is one big pcs of ram memory, must make it faster than anything as well..

id imagine its pretty fast set up like dat apple keeps coming up with nice gear!

congrats on that

I love Mac's, the MacBook Air just doesn't tickle my nuts much....

All that you are paying for is the size of it, the MacBook has just as much, if not more power, in a slightly bigger condom and is half the price (of solid state). I LOVE the MacBook Pro, it is a powerhouse x10. I am getting the iMac 24", can't wait :)

I am leaning more and more towards a mac for my next laptop I think.

that looks nice :thumbsup

I love Apple

sounds really good mate, would love one of them

Congrats for your macbook air .That's an awesome laptop

I've been buying the small sony laptops for 10 years now but didn't want to switch to ms vista. I never considered a macbook or macbook pro because the didn't get any lighter than 5+ pounds so when I saw this one announced I jumped on it. so far the laptop is excellent, and I can see why folks like mac's os. I have no idea how different Leopard is then previous versions but it seems pretty nice.

Now close it and take another picture of it and the blackberry.

it is closed in this one (from the side)

for accident prone people like myself i wouldn't want one of them. but i guess if you hang out at the local star bucks you'll look cool.

apple stock up 3.97 today =))

Nice... congrats man

How is its durability? Does the screen flex much? The screen on my Acer Travelmate is pretty sturdy, and when I was shopping around lately I played with some HPs and Sonys and their screens all had quite a lot of flex in them. It looks like if you put it in a laptop bag with something reasonable on top, the screen would get damaged from the inside-out.

Anyways, ramble over. Any thoughts on how sturdy the Air is?

feels more sturdy than i thought i would. the little sony tx i was looking at seemed to flex quite a bit and scared me.

mine's getting the cigar and scotch test right now so I'll let you know how it holds up to booze spills and ash on the keyboard

Nice machine. I recently switched to mac myself and I've been pleasantly surprised at how much they have improved. I used macs at my day job back in 96 and at that time the damn things were crashing more than windows. But now that they have a unix core they seem pretty rock solid.
