More murmurs surface about 15-, 17-inch MacBook Airs | Apple Talk – CNET News.
Now that the macBook Airs have the full size clickable touch pad, I’m wishing I had an Air instead of the Pro I bought before I came to college. The idea of a lightweight portable laptop with a solid state hard drive is just so enticing.
I imagine if I had one I would stop taking my iPad to meetings and I wouldn’t regret carrying my not so heavy laptop to classes anymore. I also can’t get the novel idea of having a laptop that could fit in a manilla envelope out of my head. Though, I would probably never actually carry around a laptop in a manilla envelope I would definitely search for a nice leather pouch that the Air could just barely fit into.
Furthermore, with the new optional i7 core processor the only drawback is the minuscule hard drive space. And that can be remedied with a nice external hard drive that would double as a backup. Because let’s be honest, the lack of a disk drive is not an issue. I’ve never even put a disk in my MacBook Pro!
So if you’re a high school senior about to buy a laptop for college next year, STOP! Be patient, wait a couple months and see if Apple comes out with 15″ and/or 17″ MacBook Airs, you’ll be glad you did.
