Colorware attacks the MacBook Air
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Feb 18th 2008 1 CommentMacBook Air sales dropping fast
By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Feb 13th 2008 11 CommentsIt seems that in the long run the MacBook Air hit the exact niche that Apple was aiming for, an executive notebook. The reason for this is largely due to the high price, people are still very interested and intrigued by the notebook, so the desire for it is still up, but demand is down due to the lack of means to purchase, a.k.a. cash money.
DIY MacBook Air Sleeve Case
By James Allan Brady on Friday, Feb 8th 2008 3 CommentsIf you are one of the many people who just spent $1700+ on a MacBook Air and are now so broke Ramen Noodles look like a luxury item, then my pal Vincent Nguyen has got something for you. In his new hit video series “How to make something useful from garbage” he’ll show you how to make a MacBook Air case out of a FedEx shipping envelope.
Apple MacBook Air experiencing technical difficulties
By James Allan Brady on Tuesday, Feb 5th 2008 No CommentsWhat could possibly be wrong with Apple’s precioussssssss? Well, most of the issues seem to be with the wireless, in fact the only issue that isn’t wireless related is a fairly obvious one.
iFixit disassembles the MacBook Air
By James Allan Brady on Friday, Feb 1st 2008 No Comments
So it looks like SlashGear just got their first MacBook Air, although I don’t foresee Vincent taking it apart anytime soon, at least not to this extent. So instead we have the pics from the folks over at iFixit as they slowly take apart the computer.
Once you get the initial bottom cover and battery off, everything else seems to be object oriented. What I mean by that is that there is the motherboard, but from there on, everything else is broken down into modules based on what they do, and then they all just connect to the motherboard.
MacBook Air Review
By Vincent Nguyen on Friday, Feb 1st 2008 9 CommentsThey’re calling it the iPod of laptops – Apple’s board-sweeping answer to Sony, Dell and all the others who’ve been proudly strutting their ultraportables. It was enough to send David Pogue into paroxysms of delight, whinnying about “admiration for elegance.” Of course, it could only be the MacBook Air. Never before has a keynote product announcement from Apple prompted such contrasts of praise and vitriol: with road-warriors on one side singing praises for a pared down chassis with still usable keyboard and display, while critics bay for blood over absent ports and sealed batteries. Is the MacBook Air going to please everybody? No, not at all; but then again, it really didn’t set out to.
MacBook Airs headed your way
By James Allan Brady on Tuesday, Jan 29th 2008 No CommentsApparently some of the people who ordered the MacBook Air right after the Keynote have already received shipping notices with some of them listing arrival dates as early as February 1st. However the Apple Store online still has a lead time of 2-3 weeks listed before they start shipping.
MacBook Air to hit retail store on Tuesday or Wednesday
By Ewdison Then on Monday, Jan 28th 2008 No CommentsIf you are longing for a MacBook Air but disinclined to pre-order it on Apple’s online store, you might be able to swing by Apple store on Wednesday and pick a unit up locally – that is if you are living in an area with Apple retail store nearby.
MacBook Air benchmarked against its brethren
By James Allan Brady on Friday, Jan 25th 2008 No CommentsThere isn’t a much better way to find out just how much of a runt the youngest in a family is than to hold a pentathlon testing everything that matters in athletic capabilities. So that’s what Gizmodo did, pitting the new MacBook Air against an MBP and a regular MacBook.
MacBook Air – replacing battery is fairly easy
By Ewdison Then on Friday, Jan 25th 2008 No Comments
Apple sealed MacBook Air’s battery and soldered its memory onto the logic board to keep its slim factor. Although it’s sealed, the MacBook Air is quite easy to take apart – our friend at Giz tore the unit they received from Apple (Pic at giz was taken down) to show what underneath the slim and sexy chassis and replacing battery does not seems to be much of scientific workout.
