| 630367 | 2008-01-15 03:11:00 | blog.wired.com Is it just me, or is focussing on a super-thin laptop less productive than other things? I mean, apart from weight, is it Apples way of thumbing their noses at other manu’s? |

| 630369 | 2008-01-15 05:34:00 | Maybe super thin but I bet it has a super big price tag.. | paulw (1826) | ||
| 630370 | 2008-01-15 07:13:00 | Thin, slow, expensive. It has got it all. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 630371 | 2008-01-15 07:27:00 | Thats nothing, take a look at this for ridiculous: www.mactropolis.com Pricing starts at $5999 for gold-plating, and $8999 for gold-plating AND diamonds. So what do you do when its obsolete? Melt it down? |

| 630372 | 2008-01-15 07:36:00 | Yeah, I was like "holy crap" when I first saw those, but most places it's posted call Photoshop (as usual). Whether those are real or not, there's definitely going to be one presented at Macworld called Air ("There's something in the Air", ooh...). Besides, when you remove the optical drive and use SSD for storage (as with many high-end UMPCs), the skies the limit for form-factor really. Look at the OLPC, its mobo is behind the screen FGS. One thing I did notice is in those pics its running 10.4 (Tiger) and not Leopard (kinda like running XP on a Microsoft Surface box I suppose). |

| 630373 | 2008-01-15 18:31:00 | It really is thin. 3 lbs., 0.16"-.76" thickness, 13.3" fullsize display, fullsize keyboard (backlit) Some other interesting things there as well, not just for Mac people. Live update www.macworld.com |

| 630374 | 2008-01-15 20:14:00 | Ah, I see it still has an HDD (SDD optional) which in of itself is pretty impressive, but at a steep $3000/$5000 (store.apple.decenturl.com) (NZD), considering specs, not for everyone. | sal (67) | ||

We don't know the NZ price but US $1800 converts to NZ $2300 Where did you get $5000 from. |
