tags: alternatives · trouble · MacWhen Steve Jobs released the
MacBook Air at the recent MacWorld Expo, the thin notebook met with
varied interest levels. As the weeks have passed, an increased number of
problems have been reported. There are concerns that the heat builds up in the notebook and that the computer might automatically shut down one of its CPUs to compensate, causing the system to slow down. There are also issues with lack of compatibility for early 802.11n routers, poor video quality and the necessity of an adapter for the
headphone jack. Finally 3G users will find that they
cant fit their modems into the tiny
USB port designed for the new laptop. The MacBook Air is
now shipping so consumer reviews should start circulating soon.
