Oh look, a netbook.
But 1.4G? Really? I love how they keep saying "fast processor" in the presentation, where "fast processor" is apparently two steps backwards in CPU technology. :-) The GPU is decent, however.
Is it me, or does anyone else see the point? I hope this isn't the "future of notebooks", because that future would seem to be anemic performance.
- tvon 16y agoAh, but if it were a netbook it would be under $400.
- wmf 16y agoIt's faster than Atom. If you want real performance the MBP is there.
- lzw 16y agoWhich is also why it is not a netbook. Apple haters have it both ways- they complain the processor is too slow compared to a macbook pro, and that the price is too high compared to an atom running netbook. sigh.
- ugh 16y agoI don't care about speed as long as I don't notice it. What the MBA has is probably enough for the vast majority of users, only the RAM seems weak to me.
- ezy 16y agoYou're going to notice 1.4G. Anyone who has taken more than 1000 photos and has put them in iphoto is going to notice 1.4G, or actually tried to use garageband is going to notice 1.4G.
- glhaynes 16y agoThe bottleneck these days is so rarely CPU, it's disks. Doesn't look like the new Air has particularly speedy Flash storage, but it'll be so much faster than a spinning disk because of it. Keep the gigahertz, give me fast I/O.
