I touched air

So to fend off any more IM's asking me what I though, yes, obviously I touched a MacBook air. So here's what I think.

I don't want to admit it, but fuck, it's a lot more sexy in real life. When you pick it up, it doesn't feel fragile, it doesn't flex in your hands and it doesn't feel like you're going to break it. I honestly feels even more durable than my MacBook Pro when closed. Go figure. The keyboard is remarkably solid.

I screwed around with looking at Web sites and booting up Office 2008 (definitely faster than 2004). Despite the much slower processor, I can't say that I found it at all slow. If 13.3 inches is adequate screen real estate for you, it's a sweet machine. I did not see if it had the hard drive or SSD.

I hate that I don't need it, but I sure want it. Fuck you, Steve Jobs.

Hey Jeff-

Just ordered one for my wife from MacMall. The SSD version is too expensive.

Let me know how you like yours.
