Note to self: don't point out the silliness of Mac addicts.
- neilc 19y agoNo, more like: 1. Don't treat "Mac fans" as a homogeneous group, and don't attribute some random opinion to them 3 years ago, observe that one particular Mac fan has a different opinion now, and accuse "Mac fans" in general of hypocrisy. That makes no sense. 2. Don't equate "a cheap Dell laptop that does everything you need" with a MacBook Air. That is like comparing apples and oranges.

And the price, while being expensive because it is Apple hardware, is sill fairly reasonable. Its not mac fanboyism to praise something that is genuinely aesthetically pleasing. I do however, wish that I could in fact afford one. Which, I can't.
- tyler 19y agoI was a pretty skeptical regarding the Air. But, just today I went down to the CambridgeSide Apple Store and played with one of them. Its really quite nifty. The weight and thickness are really astounding. The numbers don't really mean much to me... having felt it now though, I can understand why some people love it.

- axod 19y agoDownmod me because I'm stating a fact? Jesus there are some bitter individuals out there.
- Tichy 19y agoNo - never missed those, though. The MBA is probably better than my Dell, but that's to be expected with 2 years of technological progress under it's belt. Although for me personally, my Dell has the ultimate feature: it's fanless. I have raved about that too often on news.yc already, but still...
