MacBook Air unboxing!

We hope you didn’t think we were going to forget about this! Apple’s MacBook Air gets the unboxing treatment here at BGR, and we have to say, this thing is pretty hot! Sleek, slender, impossibly thin — it’s hip. We heard about the tinny-sounding mono speaker but it actually wasn’t that bad. The screen? Awesome! The keyboard is obviously completely functional, and the speed of the 1.6GHz isn’t going to blow any Final Cut users away, but it should get the job done. Any questions? Drop a comment and we’ll answer ‘em.

    If I don’t win BG giveaway, hopefully and mostly likely apple will drop their pricing on this new cool futuristic looking toy.
    1st the iPhone now the Air book. Hey Steve easy on the roll outs I’m going broke. 17″ widescreen Air book would be nice though ;-)

    Besides black, I think it would look great in black chrome. Although you’d have to clean it every once in a while but it would look the shit.
