Does it work well as a frisbie?

I was wondering the same thing.

I really don't think its worth its hype...  Don't get me wrong Apple produces quality computers but I would never in my life pay that much money for so little performance.  Its just no economical...  you could get a Windows based notebook with all the bells and whistles and can play most games on high for the same price.

inb4 Kyle's parents say 'Turn off the heating'

yes but... will it blend?

as long as your happy thats cool but im sure if i bought one id be overtaken with buyers remorse.

It looks thin to the point of it being extremely irritating to use. I don't like my hands being that close to the table to type. And lack of everything. It's essentially a fucking huge PDA.

Ignore all the bitches, your brother wins.

It's not running XP / Vista. It's built to run OSX, and OSX is built to run on macs. They go hand in hand for performance and maximum power available. Macs aren't built for gaming.

I still say, no CD drive = it sucks

No changing my mind there.

I can agree with you on this, it is an issue. But frankly, I never use CDs anymore and nor does my brother so it was pretty inessential. Although I do totally see where you are coming from.

I fail to see the point of a super-thin thing. I mean, as long as it's light, it's mobile. Only thing that's gonna change with it being super-thin is it's ability to break.

You could squish in so much more pweformace in a twice/trice as thick thing, still keeping it at about the same weight.

Any competitor (Sony TZ is almost there) and you'll see that they are just waay thicker. It macs the Normal MacBook look like a big bulky machine. It's pretty versatile as it is and it is very light and far mobile than anything else I've ever used.

I thought this would be an issue too but, at least to me, it isn't. What more ports do you need? The only thing I can think of are more USB ports and there are hubs built just to do that. Are all laptops huge PDAs if they lack certain features?

I still think Apple should stick to regular computers and notebooks.

You'd prefer it if Sony or something made the thinnest laptop? lol, why?

lol.

It's a laptop. Laptops are supposed to be portable. If I wanted a computer in a home environment, I would get a desktop.

I was more getting to the point that you can't fully justify it by using it for 20 minutes in a store.

for the same price you could get a decent desktop replacement gaming laptop, USB HDD I'll grant you but that does kinda kill the portability aspect of it (the whole reason it's so thin).

EDIT: Spazzy typing.

Does kill the portability aspect totally, yes Although I'm glad you see the reason why it is so thin. lol - that was kind of weird. I saw your post, then quoted it and this "EDIT: Spazzy typing" appeared and I was like "..did I do that?"
