Air

Apple’s new sub-notebook looks incredible, although I haven’t checked the specs yet. I was personally rooting for a tablet, but anyway…
I’m happy with my MBP. I thought it might be too large and heavy for my taste, given my affinity for my previous tiny Powerbook. What I have found is that having the iPhone around for quick email checking and minor googling means that I’m not as bothered with digging out the laptop for trivial stuff or leaving it behind while out and about.
And now I sound like a complete Apple-whore fan-boy. Whatever, it’s Tuesday!

Yeah, I was really hoping for something on the tablet front.
I have kind of been holding out for an Neo 1973, but the iPhone is becoming tempting. But I think I am going to have to abstain until there is a proper SDK. I am also not so impressed with how much of a problem the whole unlocking thing is (even if you bought a legally unlocked phone here in Europe).
The specs on the macbook air are pretty bad.
-1 USB
-no ethernet port
-no changable battery
-no cell based broadband (like evdo or hdspa)
I just looked at Thinkpad X300, it looks much better spec wise and weight, but as usual not as sleek as mac
