MacBook Air
I’ve been watching with interest the introduction of the new Apple Macbook Air. Primarily because I’m interested in the iPad and what it means for the future of computing, but also because I’m struggling to figure out how (or why) to use my laptop now. I like the idea of an integrated keyboard, but I think I’d prefer the mobility of the iPad itself. But I could see how the Air would be a nice option for some. Regardless - we can see how the iPad and its corresponding Android contemporaries are going to shape the future of what our computers will be like.
Here’s a link to Walt Mossberg’s review which I think is pretty good. For myself, I’m still planning on migrating away from my laptop and working with the iPad to day-to-day stuff and my desktop (with a huge screen) for imagery, film, web development, and programming work. But, I could do a lot with a little laptop like this. If I had the money and inclination to replace my laptop, I’d do it with this one and would recommend it to others as long as they aren’t doing development work.
