The Macbook Air

The rumor said the thruth. Apple has officialy launched today the world's thinnest notebook, the well named "Macbook Air". As you can read it on the website of Apple this new laptop is "ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else". To be honest, I'm a little bit disapointed. Ok, this super thin computer is awesome (except its unapropriate black keyboard) and will be surely able to seduce many people just like the iPhone did there is few months. But the limited number of connections, the apparent slowness of the hard drive disk and the lack of an internal optical drive disturb me. So, I'm waiting for the first reviews about this new amazing Apple device. Then we will see...

PS : Notice how Apple manage to impose questionable compromises (1 USB port, optional external optical drive) to the market and their customers where most computer companies are so severely criticised when they did the same. That's the magic of Apple, I guess...
