I still plan on hacking my netbook. The dell card I bought is suppose to work perfectly with OS X, and that is only the real problem with getting mac os on a netbook.

Hm. Disappointing, but it makes sense that $300 hardware isn’t actually of all that high quality. Man, I wish the MacBook Air was about half the price, and I’d totally go for it.

My friend has the Air. He likes it a lot, but was saying at times the 1 USB port thing is a real nuisance. The thing is light as hell though. He was whipping it around with one hand when we saw him last. You can’t do that with a Pro. I’m interested in what the next iteration of that will look like. I’m surprised Apple hasn’t tried to put out another 12” powerbook.

I have an Air too, the 1 usb port has never been a problem for me and I like it’s lightness. What I like a lot less is the sharp edges (although I think the regular and pro have them too) and the occasional overheating because the only vent is on the bottom

I think my friend’s complaint was that sometimes when he’s out and about he needs to move a file from an external HD to a USB key, and it’s a more convoluted than it needs to be.

USB 3.0 needs to support daisy chains.

“Daisy chains … they’re not just for SCSI anymore.”
I hauled my MBP in to work today and my back yelled at me for it. I want a nice lite second machine, and I thought the dell mini 9 was my baby maybe, but now maybe not. It’s too good to be true. And it probably would be hard to type on.
I used to have the 12” powerbook. That thing was perfect. Plug it into a monitor, and it could play with the big boys, but it leapt into your bag like a … bag leaping thing. That was really light.
