I agree with what has been said above as I own one and know the hassle with the one USB port. Worse still is that the optical drive does not work once you connect it to a multi USB and as a result, you are not able to install a printer. its nice, expensive but not very user friendly especially if you were used to a pc. Setting it all up is also not easy and it is a bore that you always need to go back for help and support. I did purchase the office for mac software.

I think in a few years the MBA is going to be the way to go. As SSD become more affordable, and downloadable medium becomes more common, the MBA will be a winner. Until then, I think I’m going to wait.

1. it comes with a ethernet adapter.
2. with a little bit of shooping around you can find a 4 gb flash drive for about $15
3. with some more shopping around you can find a pretty inexpensive usb hub.
4. most people don’t need a microphone to talk to people in other countries…but im sure you can find an adapter for that too.

Macbook Air is a great idea for the next generation, but sure, it falls short in a a few areas. I’m always wishing for a smaller macbook. But no CD drive? and no ethernet?

THis machine is a year ahead of its’ time…and that’s why I wouldn’t buy it…I like cool, but sometimes there is no option BUT no ethernet internet??…and how do i rip my CDs…?

This laptop is lacking…

I’ll stick with my MacBookPro 17inch for now…

Actually my 13.3″ Dell Latitude only has one USB port and no optical drive…but it’s a heck of a lot thicker and heavier than the macbook air…plus my batter only lasts 2-3 hours maximum. I think Apple has pulled off a grand accomplishment with this. When I think of a laptop, my first thought is ultraportable, not necessarily functionality. I think the Air is geared towards a lot of people like me, who just want something simple and portable.

Actually I read that the notebook comes with a USB to ethernet adaptor, but that way it fills the only USB port.

Well then, we can say that even if Apple sells bitten and rotten apples, they can make billions of dollars with their magical advertising talent.

There are only two things on this list that would bother the average person, that’s the one USB port and the high price.
