WIRED has released a mock up image of the rumored MacBook Air, a sub notebook that seems to rely on pure wireless connectivity. This doesn’t just mean WiFi, but maybe even 3G or HSDPA if we’re feeling lucky. Think of it as a really huge iPhone and you may get the drift of where the company may be headed towards in 2008. Implementing SIM cards onto notebooks isn’t a new concept. Maybe Apple wants to exhaust this technology to create something innovative. Who knows, really. We’ll find out in a few hours 
Let me start with Im a huge fan of apple, but this macbookair – No Ethernet (ya sorry you cant plugin direct at work that don’t allow wireless connections – and nice blackouts where no network available), and No optical drive… their own ads say it requires you to have ANOTHER computer to install programs (or buy their extra external drive) is kinda a ‘why buy this computer when others have it built in’
Oh so plug in the cd drive you bought eh…ok oh darn I need to plug in my usb memory key, shucks I got to unplug the optical drive to plug it in… yes only one USB port….
And with a starting price of $1,799.00 (with no optical)… No thanks Guess I won’t be getting a mac laptop anytime soon… drop that price by $1000 and ill consider it- come to think about it, i wouldn’t even buy at that price. I’d rather buy a mac mini i can tote with me and plugin to a network and that has a optical drive…
Whats next, lets just remove the mouse & keyboard… ya we’ve been waiting for a tablet mac for awhile now, figured it was this year with all the iphone hype.
