Really? Because I don't see the purpose of the MacBook Air. *shrug*

You mean the iPad V1.

I can honestly see the Air being faded out if the iPad takes off.

That's pretty much what I wrote on the day the iPad was announced. Nothing's changed between then and now to make me revise that.

Apple's come loose in the box so you can position them yourself for maximum annoyance! I'm putting mine just off centre on the middle of the screen, to annoy my OCD side and make the device less usable!

You've gotta have stickers, how else will you know your machine's capabilities? :shock:

Okay, that's the exception, but it's still a laptop which can be used as a day-to-day computer, depending on your needs. I simply can't see the iPad doing the same job. I see your point about the MB Air, but in the same respect I don't see the purpose of the iPad, other than the one good reason you suggested. :?

As much fun as it is, rather than slating it, can somebody actually give me a real-world use that justifies the price tag?


Pro photographers (readymade portfolio...),
Sales people,
Presentations,
The coffee table, for spur of the moment googling...

Don't be daft - that's v2.0 territory, just when you're looking at alternatives ;)

It'll be smaller, lighter, more expensive and have a shiny side for the stickers :D

What about battery life, goddamn-it! Earth computers want an arm and a leg to replace the one in my current model...

There are rumours you can get an extra-long-life battery, but it sticks out the back of your Rock, making it look slightly unsilghtly on the underside.
