Numberzz Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 More rumors of the MacBook Air are floating around, so here is what they say. According to Wired, the new laptop is supposed to be really thin, and shaped like a teardrop. Which means it is thicker at the top and thinner at the bottom, near the keyboard. The new laptop is supposed to use Apple's new scheme with aluminum & glass; silver on black. The new MacBook is expected to be without a CD/DVD drive, and possibly use solid-state storage. Think it's real? Tell us here. Full Story Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81684-macbook-air/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Yep, I think this is the one. Those pics are funny... that trackpad is tiny. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81684-macbook-air/#findComment-579979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special-K Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 That looks pretty {censored} pimp. Although impossibly thin. Look at the bottom of the first picture. My nephew's finger is thicker than that. (He's 5). And I still think MacBook Air is a {CENSORED} STUPID ASS name.

cmdshft Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 So to do anything that requires a CD/DVD drive, you now need to purchase a seperate, external drive? No thanks, probably the worst mistake they could have done. I know I hardly use my own drives, but they are there for a reason still...

Neilis Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 The bottom pic looks fake to me. The trackpad is not proportioned to the screen at all, and that actually looks like a membrane keyboard (they likes of which you'd expect on a $25 See'n'spell, not a real computer). I also don't see any seams for the hinges on the display. While MacBook Air might be a real product, I don't think that bottom picture is of a MacBook Air (if it exists).

Sadly, we don’t have details on pricing, specs or availability. Expect reality to disagree with our photoshops.

Luminaire Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I say fake. At least for the name MacBok Air. That could've been anyone with a customized Hackintosh. Still, I the the ultra-thin notebook thing is VERY real. I just think it would be named Nano; since that name has become somewhat of a brand by itself.

shardie Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 FAKE FAKE FAKE.....Compare the two photos,, 1. The top photo has the keyboard indented - flat. 2. The bottom photo shows the keys raised - so if the lid was closed it would press on all the keys. The top view and side view dont match.

dj_stick Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 wow - that laptop looks almost like they've taken the Al keyboards and added a monitor not my cup of tea, but i can see this being useful for uni lectures and the likes, or for the typical mac fanboy attitude of showing off Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/81684-macbook-air/#findComment-580276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
