[OFB Cafe] OFB: Not Buying It: Why the MacBook Air Misses the Mark

[Timothy Butler]

My analysis of Apple's big product announcement yesterday. I really  
wanted to like it, but...

The MacBook Air is, at first glance – or really any glance – one of  
the most impressive looking little laptops ever to appear. Anyone who  
hauls a laptop around a lot would be hard pressed not to be excited  
about the prospect of a good, lightweight laptop with a full sized  
keyboard. For me, the easy to carry PowerBook 12” has long served as  
my trusty mobile companion and I was excited about the idea of a  
lighter, newer model to follow in its path. Having seen the MacBook  
Air, it seems in many ways to be the true successor to my PowerBook –  
but if I were shopping today, a MacBook Pro would get my money.
