At Apple’s annual Macworld, they announced many new things including a new computer weighing 3 pounds called the MacBook Air. Here are some features and pictures: (all pictures taken from the official Apple website)

Thoughts: When I first watched the Keynote Address, I thought it was awesome, but the more I look at it the more I don’t like it. As seeing that it is an Apple computer it has a sleek design, but I really wouldn’t be able to fine a practical use if I bought one. Why? The fact that it doesn’t have a disk drive, I would love to have one if it had a disk drive. It just seems inconvenient, if I want to upload a disk I don’t want to have to go to another computer out of my way OR waste memory by adding more programs to another computer (esp. if its a PC). It is a great idea and don’t get me wrong, it’s simply amazing how they could make something like that, very innovating but it’s impracticable. It might get other computer companies to start thinking small though. This might be the first thing that Apple has disappointed me in…of course it is hard to beat expectations after the iPhone released last year.

What are your thoughts?
