$99 is pretty cheap for Apple for a superdrive

― caek, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link

i dont get it... the macbook is still pretty small and much more powerful and ya probably cheaper... what is the point of this

― s1ocki, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link

they said that about the macbook. Which was rubbish as it wheezes to 3hrs. crap.

WTF Apple: 10 hrs to beat here.

― stet, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link

so it's a thin MacBook without an optical drive

― caek, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link

i mean, if you really want to mail your laptop to someone, i see the benefit.

I get the feeling they don't really get what the point of an ultraportable is.

― caek, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:25 (sixteen years ago) link

I would get one if I didn't already have a MacBook, but still...

― caek, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:26 (sixteen years ago) link

no ethernet port is strangely shocking and kind of awesome

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:27 (sixteen years ago) link

much more recyclable, less packaging, much greener etc.

― Ed, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:27 (sixteen years ago) link

I like the 13" screen, but if it's the same footprint as the MacBook they've missed the point and they obviously don't get why there are still people in universities everywhere using 12" Powerbooks

― caek, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:27 (sixteen years ago) link

no ethernet = pretty much expected. tallest thing in a computer. was the limiting thing once you take out the optical drive.

― caek, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:28 (sixteen years ago) link

battery life is bollocks, footprint is massive. PB 12" ftw.

― stet, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:28 (sixteen years ago) link

bromide-RETARDED is more like it.

― s1ocki, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link

weight?

― caek, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link

well, that saves me a fortune.

― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link

what elfin world do you live in where a 13" laptop is MASSIVE?

― s1ocki, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:29 (sixteen years ago) link

That's all folks

― Ed, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:30 (sixteen years ago) link

universities! Seriously, the amount of PB 12"s and tiny laptops on campus is huge.

― stet, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:30 (sixteen years ago) link

was that the one more thing? or is there one more thing

― s1ocki, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:31 (sixteen years ago) link

yes, it looks lovely. but i'm used to 12 inches (pause for stet to snigger) and ... well, what cozen said, basically.

still: we'll see what follows over the next 12 months.

― grimly fiendish, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:32 (sixteen years ago) link

think that's it

― Ed, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:32 (sixteen years ago) link

well that sucked

― Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:32 (sixteen years ago) link

the flash disk version is the killer one. I bet that has awesome battery life and OS speed.

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:32 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't feel so bad about buying a MacPro (on the work CC) in Dec

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:33 (sixteen years ago) link

I thought flash drives were super-slow to write to still?

― milo z, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:33 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeh, MacPro is my next mac

― stet, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 18:33 (sixteen years ago) link

I want one. A good excuse to come back to the states, methinks, JW OTM about the SSD
