The Martha Blog: My new MacBook Air

I was so excited when my new MacBook Air arrived the other day. When I opened the box and examined this laptop, I was amazed by how razor thin and how light it is

From Engadget is Lenovo X300 ad takes the MacBook Air head-on . I was ready to comment on this but Erik’s post captures my thoughts:

I’m a college student and I have a macbook air and enjoy it, To each his own. I think alot of people get mad because a product doesn’t fit their needs so instead of just ignoring that product they get personally offended and see it as horribly flawed.

The comment is currently “Highly Ranked” at Engadget.

Well, head on over to the Apple Store to check out the multi-touch MBP’s.

Daily Motion has the video.

Of course, I’ll never do this with any of my Apple products!

Head on over to the TUAW gallery and see how a MacBook Air and XO look together.

Looks choppy but still playable… still, it’s a cool achievement to make this all work on an Eee PC.

Meanwhile, there are reports that OS X 10.5.2 makes WoW run even faster.

I’ve posted the following in our local Mac users forum:

I’ve realized that my Current Job + Fatherhood is not equal to a Mac-based hobby.

So I’ve switched to the Eee PC.

I’m sure you’ve seen this subnotebook from ASUS. I have a black one with 4GB SSD, 2GB RAM, and Xandros Linux.

My reason for switching is the weight, size, and price of an Eee PC compared to a MacBook.

Weight: 2.5 lbs. (MacBook: 5 lbs.)
Size: 8.9 × 6.5 × 0.9~1.4 in. (MacBook: 12.3 x 8.9 x 1.1 in.)
Price: Php 20,999 (MacBook: P65,000 not including add-ons)

I’ve fully paid for an Eee PC unit after selling my 5-month old white MacBook. The extra money is for my son’s diaper and formula fund! (Software is also free so that does not eat up additional money.).

In 2003, I switched from a PC to a Mac… from Windows to OSX. Last Thursday night, I sold my MacBook and bought an ASUS Eee PC. (The real reason was fatherhood. I was paying off the MacBook, but I didn’t foresee the cost of diapers and formula. It adds up. A lot.).

I’ll still be posting Mac related news but expect to read about the Eee PC from here on. Don’t worry, I plan to always relate my future posts to the Mac.

Engadget’s review is now up!

Give us the lovechild of the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro, and it’s all over.
