This post has nothing to do with accusing Steve Jobs of not entertaining us enough this year at the Macworld Keynote. I guess, Gates stole the show with his short feature with Matthew McConaughey and Jon Stewart this January. But well, the question is, all that hype of “There’s something in the air” has probably gone down the drain by now, even as Day 2 of Macworld 2008 is yet to begin. The Macbook Air at the first look, looks like an engineering marvel pushed to the limits, but have a closer glance and you realise, it is pretty much an useless decorative piece adding to your unused pile of fort gadget, collected soley for one reason-you love Steve Jobs no matter what.Let’s try to justify this by point by point.

At a price of $1,799 , it’s a shit load expensive and the features that it offers is not at all justified for the price you pay. After all, what rules at the end of the day is the user experience, not the slim design.

No optical drives, no User replaceable parts- the Hard Drives, RAM, Battery are all sealed to the casing. There we go Apple showing you a thumbs down.

And that means, with the 1.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo processor you get and the 2 GB RAM, running your resource consuming applications like Video Editing and Photo Editing, or even viewing HD is going to be just full of hiccups.

One USB- was that included for charity?

And btw, Apple stocks prise have climbed down, just because Steve forgot to mention ” One more thing” at the end of his Keynote. Well, that has nothing to do with Macbook Air. Perhaps, they had something, which didn’t quite meet the deadline.
