It's definitely really cool - especially for people who are on the go a lot. Personally, if I needed to upgrade from my current notebook, I'd probably wait for the inevitable MacBook refresh around May or so which I assume with have the aluminum/glass case, backlit keyboard, LED backlit screen, new trackpad etc of the Air.

because i would like to watch

you could have watched the liveblogs, but it's over now. :(

[Adamalicious]

It's not broadcast live, but you could have followed the liveblogs. You should be able to watch the recording at http://www.apple.com/ a little later today!

Macbook air + virus ti snow = 5lb recording studio with some serious balls. I'll take mine with windows installed please.

Apple are so mean. They are forcing iPod touch owners who want the extra features to PAY $20 when you can buy one now with the features already installed. Not only that, but iPhone owners get the update for free.

How exactly are they forcing them to pay it? At iGun point?

[whoelse]

Well they're not giving them for free.

personally, i'm disappointed with the air's one usb port. other than that, its one slick machine. though chances are i won't get one until much later in its lifetime.

i'm much more excited with time capsule because its wireless n, and it allows for wireless backing up of time machine.

I'm with ya on that Time capsule. I'm eyeing that 1TB version.:)
