Spent the day at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco yesterday wandering around the expo floor, playing with the MacBook Air, and generally being underwhelmed. Turns out the MacBook Air is more interesting than I'd imagined; you'll have to pick one up and play around with it to understand. It feels very solidly constructed, is amazingly light and thin, and has a beautiful bright screen. If it wasn't $1800 and had a better graphics processor, I might actually be tempted.
Oh yeah, I got in trouble with the Apple rep for spinning the MacBook air models on the string. Don't know why she was so worried - they had holes drilled through them to mount on the string, so they can't have been more than hollow cases.
My predominant thought after leaving the expo? They should really rename it "iPod World." Nearly the entire show floor was taken over with vendors selling iPod/iPhone cases, ear buds, and accessories. Oh well. They did have some comfortably cool computing chairs, nifty mounting brackets for your car, and, well, the MacBook Air of course.
