Re: Misssed the mark?
I think this Air laptop is just a fad. Apple users will buy into it of course.
They almost always do. |

Not to say that Apple is the first with an ultra thin, Sony had a production model just as thin, or just a smidgen thinner a few years ago. I just do not see the benefit of a somewhat crippled laptop, by number of ports, media drive, and expandability, when you essentially end up with the same over all size (by footprint) of a full feature laptop.
Although true ultra compacts, well poor sellers now, should take off as technology catches up.

Yep, it's just a fad. That's why the masses are packing around the good old trusty motorola brick phone. |

I like small light laptops, but lack of an optical drive makes it a non-starter in my opinion. No, you don't need it all the time, but I'd rather have a laptop that's SLIGHTLY larger and has that capability. |
