New poll posted on the MacBook Air
Authored by: jawadde on Jan 16, '08 01:48:19AM

I'm a bit dissapointed :
- no firewire is a huge thumbs down since the machine is useless for video editing.
- the remove-CD drive is cool, but I doubt that the Air can boot from it for recovery purposes. And since there is no firewire, booting in target mode is out of the question too
- no replaceable battery : when on long trips, I always carry a spare, charged battery so I can quick swap for another few hours of work on the plane or bus.
- i'm not a fan of glossy screens
- fixed ram (no dimm slots) means that the machine is quite powerful today with 2GB, but in 4 years, when MacOS 10.6 comes out, 2GB will likely be the minimum, and your Air won't be upgradable
- 80GB harddisk is LESS than the biggest iPod (160) that doesn't make sense !
