Contemplating the Macbook Air

Macbook air

While most people find the Macbook Air completely impractical, overpriced and irrational, I don’t. Lets be clear, its obvious that this machine is suited for a casual user. Now I won’t get into full specifications but this machine is indeed capable of handling the majority of a users needs. So with that being said here is my list of pro’s and con’s.

The Pro’s 

- Light weight

- Portable- Sleek design 

- Webcam- Multi-touch trackpad

 

The Con’s

- 80gb Hard drive

- Non removable battery

- Lack of optical drive

- Weak video card

 

So with that being said, yes I still want one. Being a student, I rely on portability. I previously owned a Macbook Pro but lugging it around campus became annoying. So I sold it and entertained the thought of an Asus EEE Pc, but it lacked one thing, OS X. The lack of a true Mac UMPC has me contemplating the Air or switching to another OS to remain mobile. Tell me what you think. Air or something else?
