What Would You Call MacBook Air then?

[Mr Jones]

Basically, everyone seem to think that Apple's new laptop, MacBook Air has probably one of the most cheesiest / lamest / silly / down market name (kinda reminds me of what some people said about the iPod Touch... )

Anyway, what would YOU call it then?

I'll personally go for MacBook Slim or maybe a less cheesy (than Air) name... MacBook Wafer *Yum*

Names so far;

MacBook Air (Original name)*
MacBook Slim*
MacBook Wafer
PortaMac*
iSkinny*
MacBook Mini*
MacBook Thin
iMove (?)
Mac Crap (?)
MacBook Paper
MacPaper*
Pac-a-Mac (?)
MacBook Blade
MacBook Nano*
MacBook Micro
iPricey
iMKateMossOnCocaineThin* (?)
MacBook Lite*
MacBook Jiffy
MacBook Supermegacrazyslim
MacBook SizeZero*

*I've submitted a poll request with a Mod and hopefully we'll see these in the poll for you guys to vote for

this years keynote did...

Why? A good presentation and some new products...what did you expect?

 

[lemonkettaz]

better main product, whoever thinks that is a innovative and a generally good deal is ridiculous

I think the Time Capsule is the best on offer, 500GB+NAS+HUB (with a USB port for Printer/extra HDD) and both PC/Mac compatible, you can't find more.

That itself is good enough. The MacBook Air is all nice and new but shame about the pricing - however, if I were abit fat on the wallet, I'll buy it with no hesitation. Plus, you can't find ANY thinner laptop for that spec, that's enough to push a lot of ultra light laptop seeks Apples way.

It's all down to what people expect, what people want and what Apple can offer. Just because it doesn't offer you what you wanted don't mean it's a crap keynote this year...

 

[J1234]

I think some people expect too much out of the Keynotes and believe the rumours too much.
