Also, whay no firewire port? What’s up w/ that?

Overall it looks like a great machine but needs more power & memory.

I’ll be waiting for the next generation and see how that looks.

Yeah… where’s the heat going? It’s still a Core Duo, and while those particular CPU’s run cooler, it’s only COOLER. Doesn’t mean cool – the SSD is also… interesting. That’s mainly for a business sort of deal… and most Business’s stray from Apple’s premiums on sheer principle. What would a normal user want with an SSD now, when the price is so amazingly steep?

I got to say, as soon as I saw “4200rpm” I was done. That is an ancient speed – with all of Apple’s “Revolutionary design” They couldn’t make a 1.8″ 5400rpm drive? Come on now… Contrary to popular belief as well, I doubt the SSD will be much faster than the 4200. The price of the SSD reflects a Super Talent drive part – not the Micron part which actually rivals faster drives, granted to get that speed you pay 1000 just for the drive. Either way, this is not something I can imagine paying a lot for.

If I meet someone with this, it’ll be the same reaction I have with a PS3 when I see it in someone’s home collecting the proverbial dust. “Oh, you got one… Good for you.”

I used to have a Sony T-series until someone broke it. I now use a Macbook even though it’s too big. It’s still better than the Air though since, well….even the Asus eeePC seems less crippled, and for $299-$399 than the Macbook Air. They should have made it a bit thicker and smaller length and width-wise. The 13″ size is a liability, not a feature.
