Apple’s new motto: Making already extremely expensive technology even easier to break. I’d be afraid I would lose it in between the ream of paper in my printer and end up printing out a beef stroganoff recipe on it. Seriously, I love small, thin, and light gagets, but only those I can afford to break if I look at it wrong.

In response to people who say that the 5-pound MacBooks should be light enough: When I bought my 3.8-pound Sharp, I passed up the MacBooks precisely because of their weight. I had a 6-pound laptop at the time and after several hours of walking with that thing I hated it.

Here’s how it goes: You walk a mile or so to the metro. You stand on the platform waiting, then stand on the train for 20 minutes, then climb the stairs and walk another half mile or more. Then your next destination for the day is another walk, metro ride (hey, maybe you’ll get a seat this time!), more stairs, and another walk. And then there’s the trip home. Of course, you’re carrying a book and maybe other stuff as well, and you’re doing this every day. A 2-pound difference in laptop weight is a big difference.

Letting the air out of Air

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past 24-odd hours, you will have heard about the new Macbook Air ultra-slim laptop from Apple. Since everyone else is talking about it, I thought I would join in the fun.

I’ve ordered my MBA yesterday (entry-level: I decided I wouldn’t get sufficient benefits from faster CPU or SSD to justify their prices), mostly because it’s the _lightest_ machine I can buy to use Keynote on (other local apps are nice but I could get roughly equivalent ones for a Linux ultralight, but Keynote is the killer app for me, as IMHO it is for anybody whose career may live or die based on their presentations). My Asus eee serves me decently well (though 7″ is really too little screen — somewhere around 11″ might be the best compromise), but Impress and other presentation apps for it just can’t cut the mustard.
