Apple's MacBook Air - What do you say?

Its Steve's. I'm buying it!

Well apple never ceases to surprise the world with a trick or two every time, yeah definitely no optical drive is a little disgusting but _k don't u think humanity would grow out of optical drives some day?? they are too mechanical & contain too many moving parts to last long, plz tell me what u think about this. maybe some day commercial media would cease to come in optical drives, there can be other far better forms....i mean. maybe apple has shown us the future though it seems quite unacceptable today.

Agreed. However, I believe that the world will take some time to accept wi-fi based drives. That's obvious because the wi-fi is not omnipresent. Apple's done a good job with MacBook Air, however, it still relies on optical drive attached to another computer.

In my opinion, the world is moving towards Web OS - where one giant computer will host an operating system which will power all the devices connected to it. Think about it, its quite possible.

Or who knows, maybe some day, CE will be the organization to develop it

I'd buy Apple computer even it haven't screen 😁

Hey Biggie ... check out desktoptwo.com.

The free Web OS is already here 😀. For more interesting literature, I would suggest reading Soft Wars by Larry Elison (Oracle CEO).

My $0.02 on MacBook Air. Cool looks, I dont mind not having a CD/DVD drive, as long as I have some free USB ports, I am ok! Price is a whopper as always, so thats a turn off.

A smart idea on eliminating the optical drive though. If it were my money, I would rather invest in stocks 😀

I like Mac for its simplicity and design. I am okay with optical drive less notebook.

I like it, even without the drive. I like to support apple as they offer a stable OS without the need of major security flaws. Like anything, more competition/choices can only improve the products. I do also have a pc that I use because of software limitations.

Right on!
