Apple unveiled new MacBook Airs -- in new 11.6-inch and updated 13.3-inch display sizes -- during an October 20 media event dubbed "Back to the Mac." Standard configs for the 11.6-inch model sell for $999 and $1,999 and $1,299 and $1,599 for the 13.3-inch Air. Many respondents used the more typical speeds-and-feeds measure to evaluate the, ah, Air quality.
''The next generation of MacBooks''
Apple introduce the newest MacBook air by above words. Actually, I'm not surprise with it. Every time Apple use the words like" most, best, perfect, ever" to show their products are unique. After customers bought the product, Apple will introduce the "newest" product again. Unfortunately the new one always kick your old one ass. You will confuse if you should buy a new one because it is better than yours. Even it just add one new function.
In my mind, MacBook Air is not a typical laptop, it should be divided to netbook, which is been thought as a BULLSHIT by Apple. But actually the MBA(MacBook Air) is really a netbook, 11.6-inch, pack aging Intel Core 2 Duo processors -- ranging from 1.2GHz to 1.86GHz in standard configurations. Apple swapped out hard drives for sold-state storage, which I observes are puny. Apple offers 64GB or 128GB storage on the smaller Airs and 128GB or 256GB on the 13.3-inch models. So,Old CPU tech, 64GB max drive (even if it is SSD) and a $999 price tag place way over a fully optioned laptop with optical drive 500GB 7200 rpm hard drive and loads of RAM. Sorry I'll pass. Actually, now I have a 13-inch MacBook pro, if I must to choose a i-product to buy, I will buy a IPAD. But, even iPAD, I don't know when to use it expect in travel.
just kidding
In my view, Apple can sell anything to the fans by just add a "i" to the name. I think Apple is creative, but sometimes it use too many promotion methods, Although the product always cool, but customers should not be treated as folks that just pay cash.
For as long as I can remember, Apple has promoted it's company as the unique and high quality company within its industry. They continue to develop new products that are based around a previously known product that we accept given its current quality. Apple strives on taking these accepted products and increasing its durability and performance to exceed its target markets expectations.
回覆刪除With this, however, Apple does not shy away from charging top dollar from their customers. Being an iPhone user, I feel the quality and features that Apple places in its products exceeds the markets expectations on numerous occurances, and is worth the extra money to purchase. I too agree that this new MacBook Air should be considered a netbook as well, as it does not even have a cd drive for instance.
