MacBook Air Comments

The new MacBook Air is very cool. It seems to really stretch the technology. 3lb on a 13.3″ screen with a full size keyboard.

One thing I noticed, which no one is saying. They offer an 80 gig spinning drive and a 64 gig memory card drive. Where are the other sizes? iPods using the same driver range from 80 to 160. Why is there no option on the MBA for the other sizes?

The hardwired 2 gig memory is a limit, but I think Apple is looking ahead. The access times on memory card drives are so go it’s not much of a performance penalty to have little on board memory and lots of pagefile. It’s just that right now this new hard drive costs $1000.
