Good points to be sure, but I did say in both articles that I’m not a journalist, nor do I play one on TV. It’s simply my duty to point out that Apple is trying to explain that simply deleting 75% of a normal laptops features to make their laptop superthin is an innovative approach.
How innovative is software that ‘borrows’ the optical drive from another computer? Some call it a network share. Not to mention the fact that included in the box with the Airess is an OSX install DVD that you won’t be able to run unless you buy their usb superdrive…right?
The permanent battery is a total fuck over on their part. You can’t tell me that they couldn’t have made a battery compartment similar to that on a cellphone for battery removal…they are simply guaranteeing a future profit when you have to have a genius replace your battery for an exorbitant fee.
Don’t assume that I want to ‘run OS X natively’ either…I’m fine with all of the applications I have that run in windows, thank you.
And as for the Sony (re: less features, more money)…oops…
