there's a 'mac(k) the knife' joke somewhere.

It's knife the mac, not mac(k) the knife.


Mac the knife you must. Hmmm.

I like my macbook. It has some problems... as it was the first generation... specifically the place where the lid make contact with the keyboard has cracked. I waited a while though and now Mac is unofficially repairing this problem.

Everyone knows one button mice are better than multi-button mice, therefore one hinge laptops must be better than two hinge laptops. This is typical PC fanboy crap, you're all too short-sighted to recognise Apple's incredible VISION for the future of portable computing.

This video really makes me want to get a Macbook Air, but I'm waiting for the the next version which isn't even going to open at all.

Your video, Macbook Air - Best When Repeatedly Stabbed With Knife, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

This is great - I say we need more clips of iSuck product carnage here on the Sift to offset dag's only flaw

It's not a flaw, it's a strength. He believes by using inferior equipment, it forces him to keep his mind sharp and his patience strong.

This what I could find:

Some MacBook Air owners who embraced the device in its original iteration (Rev.A) have found that over time, with normal use, the hinge fitting the screen to the body of the laptop becomes irreparably loose, sometimes even catching and cracking.

Discussion about the problem first hit the Apple Support fourm back in Feb. 2008 and appears to be well documented, though as an official matter Apple says it is not a “known” issue.

Why did she want a 17" display if she can only run it at 1440x900? That's the standard resolution for 15" displays. DDR3 RAM is also a better choice for laptops, due it's reduced power consumption (1.5V vs 1.8V for DDR2), resulting in longer battery use.

Obviously, I'm a Mac fan, but I have to admit, I've always thought Apple's unwillingness to offer a larger lineup of computers, or more configurability, was a marketing failure. It's hard to argue with their success, but they would probably benefit from offering a 15" MacBook on the low end. The only 15" model is the MacBook Pro. That's pretty silly considering how many users will want the extra screen space, but not really need the extra cpu power. A wider range of drive capacities, especially on the higher end models, would be good as well.

[edit] Interesting article at Gizmodo, Krupo. Some of the comments there are even more interesting. A number of people pointed out that certain features were completely ignored, like the new unibody construction, bigger glass touchpad, Leopard vs. Vista <snicker>, better configurations for Dells, etc.

From the linked site:
"We’ve been wondering how long it would take Microsoft to kick things up a notch with its responses to Apple’s I’m a Mac smear series. Times are tough these days and it looks like Microsoft is finally starting to target cost with its latest TV ad. Titled Windows Laptop Hunters, the spot features a young woman named Lauren tasked with finding a laptop that meets her requirements — “speed, a comfortable keyboard and a 17-inch screen” — for under $1,000. If she finds one, be it a Mac or a PC, Microsoft will buy it for her. You know as well as we do that the only way anyone is scoring a new Mac laptop with a 17-inch for under $1,000 is armed robbery, so you can imagine how the commercial plays out. Forgetting the fact that the Best Buy she was shopping in apparently doesn’t charge a sales tax, Lauren ends up with an HP Pavilion for $699.99; a price even the most modest MacBook can’t come close to touching. The model she walked with features a 2.1GHz AMD Turion X2 with 4GB of DDR2 RAM, 320GB hard drive, DVD-RW drive and of course a 1440×900 17-inch display — definitely a solid system.

No, we haven’t quite stooped to the level of a local politician’s attack campaign quite yet, but it’s good to see Microsoft finally showing a little spunk with its response ads. Considering the times, we imagine there are plenty more value-centric ads from Redmond on the way; at least, we hope there are. Hit the jump to watch the full commercial."

That was very well put together - and damn it if I didn't feel he was talking to me. [sips fairtrade coffee while tapping on MacBook]

[edit] wait, I'm not done. This is how the right tries to claw its way back. They turn us into caricitures and sneer at us for not being as cynical as them.
