- retzed, on 01/21/2008, -11/+448Hmm, both useless, one skinny.
Kinda like Paris Hilton and Rosie O'Donnell. - andrewcsayer, on 01/21/2008, -2/+272But if you included a tape drive, game on.
- inactive, on 01/21/2008, -5/+223I still have more games on my CSX64 :)
- mooboy322, on 01/21/2008, -4/+158damn, i thought my commodore SX-64 was going to be the best machine on the market for years
- dynacrylic, on 01/21/2008, -22/+168You forgot the air: "fits in an inner office envelope".
- egthareal, on 01/21/2008, -13/+150A long time ago I wanted a midget to do all my personal tasks. Then I got an iPhone. Then I wanted the air to replace the iphone and the midget. But, then I noticed that the air was no better than my iPhone midget man. Anyways I guess what I'm saying is that if the chargers had a midget on the team, then they would've won today.
- ajchavar, on 01/21/2008, -7/+142you've won the internet, we'll be mailing it to you shortly.
- TunerPrep, on 01/21/2008, -8/+127dang. I almost have a setup as good as the Air...
- badassninja, on 01/21/2008, -8/+106I really don't need back lit. That's why God invented the little tabs on home row.
- JoshuaH, on 01/21/2008, -1/+90Does this thing have copy and paste, or will that be included later?
- mitrovarr, on 01/21/2008, -4/+87Not to mention that on a laptop, the screen is directly above the keys, which illuminates them anyway.
But I guess it helps if you're in complete darkness, with a dimly lit screen, and you desperately need to type, but don't know how to touch type, it could kind of help. - Murrabbit, on 01/21/2008, -0/+71The commodore has the distinct benefit of being retro.
- cl2yp71c, on 01/21/2008, -0/+67A spec sheet doesn't prove anything.
We all know which has better games. :-) - redfox2600, on 01/21/2008, -0/+65You're wrong the Commodore 64 is the better machine; it can be used as a paper weight, an anchor and can stop a bullet.
- truspect0r, on 01/21/2008, -5/+69And the ThinkPad X61s

lol - crazzy88ss, on 01/21/2008, -0/+48pass the bong my way.
- chetanthaker, on 01/21/2008, -1/+47Floppy drive FTW for the Commodore
- krete, on 01/21/2008, -13/+59The Macbook Air is really light, really expensive, and really nothing special. If you're considering getting one, I'd say consider a regular Macbook, which is way cheaper, still really light, and has a CD drive.
- adooga, on 01/21/2008, -0/+36You can purchase it as an external unit which looks super sweet next to your external CD drive. It has awesome rounded edges on it, so cool.
- inactive, on 01/21/2008, -0/+35quite possibly the worst "i see what you did there" i have ever seen.
- an8kid, on 01/21/2008, -3/+36I wonder how my old amstrad works in comparison...
It runs of several 9v batteries.., and it accepts 5 1/2" floppy disks...
I think i win... !!!!! - cyranthus, on 01/21/2008, -0/+33mac users dont watch porn... their computer is their porn.
- PinkoComrade, on 01/21/2008, -1/+34Sadly to fit it in a manila envelope, we'll have it sent in a macbook air
- j4200, on 01/21/2008, -7/+40For those who didn't get it, this is a stab at Apple's marketing techniques. Rather than compare against current generation competitors, they release test specs against dated machines.
- ajchavar, on 01/21/2008, -16/+48bury me
- deadnoob, on 01/21/2008, -3/+34nooooooooo *****.
- cleverboy, on 01/21/2008, -0/+28Jesus. I hope laptop envelope stuffing isn't the new "geek-cred" penis shot.
You watch the Macbook Air commercial, and the act of pulling it out is clearly porn. - vango, on 01/21/2008, -6/+33it's funny cuz its true
- bat-21, on 01/21/2008, -2/+29It's what men had before Viagra.
- adooga, on 01/21/2008, -1/+28"What the ***** are you talking about?"
He doesn't know, he's copy / pasting from apple.com - Agrabah, on 01/21/2008, -0/+27Lol, fanboy. Someone strike a nerve did they?
- astrosmash, on 01/21/2008, -1/+22165 kB of furious data storage.
- AnthonyA7, on 01/21/2008, -2/+22TIME ZONES ***** HAVE YOU HEARD OF THEM
- firebhaal, on 01/21/2008, -1/+20macbook air won, it says right there in the table @_@
- logicbus, on 01/21/2008, -10/+29Did anyone else spend a minute thinking that the check mark meant the MacBook Air had all those features?
- digggggggggg, on 01/21/2008, -3/+22They cut down on so many features on the MBA that the price tag of $1800 baseline really isn't worth it anymore. I can't imagine anyone claiming that it's a good value for a product.
- Narwaffle, on 01/21/2008, -0/+180/10, you're not even trying.
- cozza, on 01/21/2008, -0/+18Here's the article that pic was from to put it "slightly" more in context:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/01/20/tob_commod ... - mcgarry83, on 01/21/2008, -0/+18After you buy all the external units you'll need to be productive, the whole laptop will actually be outside the case, sprawled out on your desk looking like FSM.
- DiggzDE, on 01/21/2008, -0/+17which makes it all the more easier to steal from your coworkers. :)
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 01/21/2008, -1/+18My ThinkPad T30 which is 10 years old also fits inside a manilla envelope. I tested it after I saw the MBA advertisement.
- LocalDocal, on 01/21/2008, -1/+17Why fight? Apparently, you check your favorite websites for updates before you brush your teeth. Your life is sad enough without adding a beating to it.
Sadly, this makes the two of us. - inactive, on 01/21/2008, -0/+16Spoken like a future Enron CEO.
- grumpyrain, on 01/21/2008, -1/+17Considering the average age of diggers, I am actually going to treat that as a serious question.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_drive - AnthonyA7, on 01/21/2008, -6/+22What the ***** are you talking about?
- cosinezero, on 01/21/2008, -0/+15SX-64 doesn't have a battery, period.
- zeptobyte, on 01/21/2008, -3/+18Yeah, sure, the engineering is impressive. That doesn't stop the thing from still being totally worthless.
- digggggggggg, on 01/21/2008, -0/+15Look, I'm a huge Apple fan and even I think that the MBA will be a flop. Minimalism is one thing, but the MBA has cut down on so many features that it's not really worth it anymore. I can think of many different situations where I would want an ethernet port, more than one USB port, and a firewire port.
If it was $500 cheaper, it may be a good deal. - UtopiaInTheSky, on 01/21/2008, -1/+16A marvel in engineering for whom? Certainly not Apple. Intel, maybe. They cut the processor size down by 60% which is impressive for them. Apple did nothing except remove "crucial" features of a laptop in order to reduce it's thickness. They removed the DVD Drive... Wow, an engineering marvel. Give me a break.
