Two weeks ago I did it! I bought the new Apple’s super thin computer… the MacBook Air! Obviously the model with the 1.6 GHz CPU and 80 GB PATA Hard Drive since I’m not rich enough to buy the Solid State Disk model (I’m also not a fan of solid state technology… so having the money I would have opted for a 1.8 GHz CPU and PATA HD).
You know… I don’t care if it hasn’t any dvd drive or neither a ethernet port! On my old MacBook the ethernet port was still virgin after 2 years of use… and the dvd drive is useless since I have my iMac to burn and read DVD (I usually rip my dvd-movies and put them on a portable HD) so I got only advantages from the Air: less weight to carry around at uni, less space occupied in my bag and a battery with a much longer duration (tested… it truly worked for 5 hours)!
Another thing I love of the Air is that it has all the “coolnesses” of the pro series (like the ambient light sensor for automatic adjustment of keyboard illumination and screen brightness). So I can say I’m pretty happy with my new toy!
I did a video of the unboxing… I hope you’ll appreciate it:
