We Don’t Add Stuff On. We Build It In.
THIS is why I don’t want to buy a MacBook Air:
The MacBook Air is pretty, it’s sexy, but it ISN’T a computer for me. I’ll stick with my plain ole’ MacBook until they can figure out how to make a MacBook Air with a DVD (or Blu-Ray) drive and maybe even a Express Card slot.
It looks like someone made this commercial for the Lenovo ThinkPad X300. With the same 64GB SSD drive, the Lenovo beats the price of the MacBook Air by about $400, but it’s processor is only 1.2 GHz instead of the 1.8 GHz that comes with the MacBook Air. It has 3 USB ports, but no optical drive, so it’s in the same category as the MacBook Air.
The commercial is a little misleading because they have so many things connected to the MacBook Air. Even the Lenovo ThinkPad would need a USB hub for all of those things. This commercial is funny, but the Lenovo isn’t much use in this case. Either way, you’re carting around a stupid USB hub and a bunch of wires.
