Crappiness Continued

With all the hype around the Macbook Air, we’re blind to see that this laptop although is an amazing piece of engineering, it is utter crap! Why?

  1. 2197304292_b1050211da_m.jpg

    It’s too expensive. Add the 64GB SSD drive and it’s extremely prohibitive.

  2. No optical drive. This means you have to beg others to let you install a software Apple gave you on their PC so you have access to their drive.
  3. No ethernet port. That makes the Remote Disk software useless if the PC you’re trying to connect to doesn’t have wireless.
  4. Only 1 USB port. So you’ll need a USB hub, one more thing to carry around… that’s not portability
  5. Battery not user Replaceable Unlike 99% of other laptops out there, the battery is not user replaceable.
  6. Mono Speakers The built in speakers on the Macbook Air are weak and sound airy (sorry) from the hands-on videos so far. Worst of all, they’re mono, not stereo! Are we back in the 90s?
  7. Fixed RAM The Macbook Air ships with 2GB of RAM by default. This RAM is onboard though, meaning there is no option to upgrade or to add more RAM.
  8. Slow Processor 1.6 C2D by default is amongst the slowest Core 2 Duo processors you can get.
  9. Slow 1.8″ Hard drive The base model comes with a 1.8″ hard drive. As most computer enthusiasts know, 1.8″ hard drives top out at 4,200rpm
  10. It’s too thin! I would not drop it, or stand on it !!

Macbook Air, what a disappointment …

More Accurate crappy details

The computer uses a 1.8-inch disk drive, on which no more than 80 gigabytes of data can be stored. Memory is limited to a standard two gigabytes of RAM and its processor is slower than those of Apple’s other laptops. The design team jettisoned an optical disk storage device for playing DVDs. Mr. Jobs demonstrated a feature called Remote Disk that will make it possible to play the contents of a DVD via a wireless network from another Macintosh or Windows PC. Also, the MacBook Air’s battery is not removable.

Mac book Air - Worst Innovations

Hii!!
Just got a mail from Apple Asia region asking me to preorder Mac book Air. It is the crappiest thing I ever saw in my life.



How about asking you to join a Slimming Program which takes out your kidney,liver,eyes and 2kg brain to make you weigh less.. ha ha...



Surprised ... This is what Apple is asking you to do when buying Mac book Air..
They are offering an 8GB disk and a 64GB solidstate option.. with
out any optical drives..What the fish!!!... It asks you to use shared optical drives over network... (Suppose, You want to rip a new music or install a new software, then what?? ... run to your PC next room )..ha ha....



It gets you a cute little expander dock which just has a single USB...
And then they get you an external optical drive which is heavier than your notebook to carry around..(Buy a notebook and then a bulk optical drive,think of the pain when you travel with it..)

Final Verdict : Its the worst innovation with features no more than a smart phone..

More to come!!
