Mac-attack*

mbookair "Once again, Mac delivers!". If you're a Mac fan, I'm sure after Mr. Job's annual keynote speech a couple days ago - or more specifically, after feasting your eyes on that sweet-looking MacBook Air - that was your unanimous conclusion. If you're a shareholder however, I'm not sure you'd be so happy. Why? Well, let's read together:

"Apple's stocks took a beating on the stock exchange on Tuesday 15 January following Steve Jobs' annual keynote speech at Macworld2008 in San Francisco. Although shares in the company peaked as the CEO took to the stage they soon started to drop until Jobs announced the MacBook Air where they recovered slightly.
However as the news sunk in of what had been said the shares went south even further hitting $165 before a final rally before 4pm brought them back to a closing $169, down $14.88 (around 6%) at the end of the trading day from $180." [Source]

Oh well, I'm sure they'll be back up soon, after all, "HAVE YOU SEEN THE MACBOOK AIR?!" ... ;)

Looks a bit ... uncomfortable to me to be honest. At some point, a laptop can actually become TOO thin IMO. And the price tag ... well ...

I'm guessing Mac's going for the portability factor.. I'm not sure I agree with that 'too' thin opinion, the only problem comes to me is when/if they (meaning laptop designers/makers) drop out necessary features eg. network port, memory card slots, USB ports, output slots etc.

The price tag, well, it's a Mac, so, we all know how that goes.
