  They don't specify if it's the latest version of macbook air. I would need a guarantee that when a new mba release is out, they will update all their servers.

    Like this very evident part of their opening paragraph: When a new model comes out, we promise to upgrade as soon as the hardware becomes available so you're running on them before it's cool.

  Awesome and inspirational. Who came up with such a crazy yet simple and essential product? Whatever next! Airmail? Airhadoop? Airdryer! Airstore. I'm going to buy me some 11" airs to experiment.

  Nice gimmick. That's all. No information about failover (you can make assumptions on "cloud" but they are ... assumptions), limited clients. Nice gimmick.

    Facepalm.

  I'm not sure about the data-center, but an old notebook makes a good home-servers/media-center: super quiet, slim form factor and built in UPS. You just need one that can run cool with the screen closed.

  Isn't it obvious it's an ironic take on hipsterism, milking the notion that MBA's are for "hipsters"? Check the references to "fixie bikes", "helping africa", "serving in style" etc. Is it even a real service?
