Re: Why the MacBook Air is "misunderstood"

said by RadioDoc:

Apple's own website states:

"Between 0.16 to 0.76 inch thin and weighing only 3.0 pounds, MacBook Air sets new standards for ultra-portable computing — without the usual ultra-portable compromises."

There certainly seem to be quite a few of the usual ultra-portable compromises. But heaven help anyone who dares point them out.
This is absolutely true. As much as I feel the Air has a specific mission, the marketing is a wee bit inaccurate. I guess that would be a partial cause of some of the disappointment we read about on this board. The Reality Distortion Field can easily warp the mission of this machine beyond what it can really handle.

Agreed ... Marketing - meh.
Don't forget the video for Leopard where the guy talks about how simple it is to "upgrade your system - just insert the disk" and then get lambasted when people ask you whether you upgraded or A/I or clean ... blah blah yada.

Zappa claimed in an interview that MBAs would ruin the world. He was truly visionary.
