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.

    As an avid Windows OS user for the last 10 years I have to say my next computer will be a Mac.

    Vista is like a annoyingly bad date…very little fun, but plenty of asking questions, rebooting, and BIG promises!

    Seriously…Mac is the way to go now. Even for this avid MS fan..err..former fan.

    I will use MY macbook air to stop being such a square, hoping that I can make Apple’s brand identity my own. I will then quit my accounting job, burn my tweed jacket and move to the east village. Then I will spend every day rehearsing with my band and growing a beard. I will wear vintage tshirts and ironically colored shoes. I will be so cool. But ironically cool. Like, ins spit of myself. And I will design things and be artsy.

    I wonder if I can get it to run Parallels, sync my Zune, then call them “Blasphemy” and “Blasphemy Air”? :-D I tried the iPod, but the fidelity on the Zune’s just a lil bit better.

    If you let me, I will change the world with the Air in my hands. Something tells me this could be my lucky week.

    Oh Gods of BRG, bring her to me :)
