I'd like a little notebook like this new Macbook Air, it would fits my needs for a thin portable client to replace my actual macbook (I ssh a lot to remote workstation when I need horsepower, coding and so on).
Still something puzzles me:
* No Ethernet. I really can't trust Airport, i have a 13" Macbook and sometimes Airport fails hard (without mentioning the speed transfer).
* No upgradable. I understand the design choices behind this nice netbook (or whatever), but what if the ssd breaks? Or the ram? I'd need to buy a new one.
Maybe my needs would be better fitted by a standard netbook. The truth I am ashamed to confess is that I am too confortable with OSX.
- slantyyz 16y agoI think people should definitely invest a few extra bucks on Applecare with this model.
- gbrindisi 16y agoAbsolutely but... hell it's +250 bucks!
- slantyyz 16y agoSpread that cost over 3 years, and it's not that expensive. If you're buying a notebook that you intend to use for work or move around constantly, you have to budget that cost in. Even if I was buying a Thinkpad X series for work, I'd invest in the extended warranty.
