The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I havn't heard anything from Apple regarding the battery life. Is it because its pretty bad?
Probably like to avoid the battery topic altogether.trippy982 wrote:

I can't imagine the battery life is too bad, it's not like it's powering anything.
I wrote a journal about this not too long ago.
So I've been talking to Becca and warmsox about this. What, initially sounds pretty awesome and impressive really ends up being somewhat of a letdown.
It has ONE USB port. One. It has no FireWire ports. So...awesome. Let me unplug my mouse so I can use my keyboard. Oh, fuck, I need to print something...but my IPod is updating. I really want to upload these pictures from my digital camera onto my computer, but I'm too busy using my EXTERNAL FUCKING CD DRIVE to install this program. But it fits in a manila envelope!
Here are some of the conversations I've had concerning the MacBook Air.
becca (12:18:06 PM): i can't believe it doesn't have a built in ethernet port
bewareofzombies (12:18:20 PM): Who needs the internet anyway?
bewareofzombies (12:19:17 PM): The whole "no dvd/cd player" thing is really lame too, actually.
bewareofzombies (12:19:25 PM): That might be worse than not having an ethernet port.
becca (12:19:38 PM): yeah wtf
becca (12:19:50 PM): i stared at that one for a long time questioning what the hell was going on
bewareofzombies (12:19:54 PM): Hahaha, how the fuck do you listen to music on it?
bewareofzombies (12:20:03 PM): "Oh, just download it from...wait...no ethernet port?"
becca (12:20:04 PM): it wouldn't be hard to put a slot in the side
bewareofzombies (12:20:20 PM): Yeah, Apple uses those slot-loading drives anyway. What gives?
bewareofzombies (12:21:04 PM): How do you install shit on it?
becca (12:21:28 PM): usb?
becca (12:21:36 PM): let me run out to best buy and buy photoshop on a thumb drive
becca (12:21:37 PM): brb
bewareofzombies (12:21:15 PM): But...how the hell do you install shit on it?
warmsox (12:21:21 PM): you either download it
bewareofzombies (12:21:25 PM): Like...if I wanted MS Office or something...?
warmsox (12:21:27 PM): or there is a thing called remote drive
warmsox (12:21:38 PM): where it connects to a notehr computer and uses its drive
bewareofzombies (12:22:01 PM): So wait...wait...
bewareofzombies (12:22:08 PM): I need a DIFFERENT computer to install something on this.
warmsox (12:22:11 PM): yes
bewareofzombies (12:23:49 PM): Even if I did have an external superdrive...the thing still only has one USB port.
bewareofzombies (12:24:01 PM): brb@installing so i can print shit...or use a mouse...or...anything
warmsox (12:25:14 PM): they's all be wireless
bewareofzombies (12:26:04 PM): You still need a USB port to use a wireless mouse you fucking nub.
warmsox (12:26:27 PM): i figure theyd make it internal
bewareofzombies (12:26:32 PM): An internal mouse.
warmsox (12:26:44 PM): internal wireless transmitter for one
bewareofzombies (12:26:47 PM): An internal mouse.
And finally, I give you this:
So nice job, Apple. No wonder why your stock plummeted faster than the hopes, dreams, and sexual fantasies of fifteen year old girls across the world after they found out about Heath Ledger's death. Here's a good product for you to try, why not make an iPhone...without any of the phone capabilities...and just call it the new generation of iPod...oh wait. Looks like you beat me to the punch.

I didn't notice apple stock dropped. Down to $130 from $180 a few weeks ago.

this right here is proof that a good 90% of the products apple rolls out are absolute, utter, complete horse shit.
They make ludicrously priced, unreliable, underperforming hardware and manage to sell it to idiots because it looks pretty.
Their target market is girls, gays and prats.
The MacBook Air is rubbish. Especially doing take aparts on the fucker.

Wow, do I detect some anti-mac feelings in this topic. Nevertheless people that buy a MacBook Air most of the time realize what they 'lose'.
I for an instance wouldn't have a problem with no optical drive and wireless.

If you think paying $1000 more and also getting less features is worth the few cm of bulk, then by all means get it...kylef wrote:

You know what, it's not a bad laptop. It's just the price. What are they smoking when they set it that high. If they could market that thing for what it's actually worth, it'd be so much more successful. I'd get one too.
I mean honestly. For something with no Ethernet/Optical Drives etc.. you shouldn't be looking at more than like... $500 maximum for that.
It would be so successful it would be insane if it was priced for what it was worth.

I don't get the appeal or fascination. If this laptop didn't have an Apple logo on it, people would think "hey, that's neat, but look at all the crap they left out to make it that small", and they'd pass it up due to the hefty price tag.
Getting one seems more like accessorising than actually buying portable computing.

Apple is the Burton of computers. Their stuff is no better, and massively overpriced.
