The Apple MacBook Air Sucks

For many reasons. Way too many design compromises.

Mostly about fashion (perhaps for the exec (or wannabe) who wants to look hip and cooler than the other execs in the boardroom).

too fat

The MacBook Air is too fat.

not small enough

• See my comparison, and I'm not the only one who want something smaller in size:
• Mickipedia
• Poshy (2)
• danah
• Liz Henry (2)
• lmorchard
• Rick Webb

insufficient storage

• Cameron Moll wants one with more then 80GB storage.

general complaints

• Taylor thinks it is "inexcuseably lame lame LAME." More: "overpriced-featureless-anorexia".
• Jan BraÅ¡na thinks the iBook 12" is still more awesome than his current MacBookAir

lack of firewire

The lack of Firewire = no target disk mode (essential for all laptops), no ability to easily hookup a bus powered external drive.
