toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Jan 15,2008 10:01pm
well 1.8 but still not very quick... still its fucking thin as your dick.

well ok almost as thin as your dick



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Jan 15,2008 10:02pm
im sure the ssd will be standard in the next gen and it will probably be 1499 in the next year



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 15,2008 10:06pm
SSDs won't compete with HDs price wise til late 2010

I'm probably going to buy my first laptop this year.

This won't be it.

Mac laptops are pretty slick, but I think this thing is too much cash for a bunch of gimicky fluff.

oh cd/dvd burner



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 20,2008 5:15pm
what is the processor?
65nm, I think, but what name?

that isn't a bad price for an ultra portable.



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Jan 20,2008 5:16pm
naw its not yea they do have some way over priced compies im not gonna lie but they have reasonable shit too



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 20,2008 5:19pm
refurbs are cheap from them.
but then you are buying 2 generations ago instead of 1 generation ago.
I've had a laptop with that processor in it for a year.



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Jan 20,2008 5:19pm
T7300 ? does that make sense for a name? i dunno what they are called



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Jan 20,2008 5:20pm
i dunno never looked into refurbs



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 20,2008 5:32pm
the t7300 is in line.
must be the 65nm verion.

the 90nm is a T7200 and the 90mm 2.1ghz is the T7400



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Jan 20,2008 5:36pm
oh word yea the t7500 is in the 1299 version



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 20,2008 5:40pm
there are T7600 and T7800 now too.
if you didn't know, mac got intel to shrink the footprint of the t7x00 line to take up a lot less room.

I would need to look it up, but all the t7x00 might be 65nm and not 90nm. not sure.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 20,2008 5:41pm
when I originally saw the prices, they were $3099 for a 1.8ghz and a 32gb SSD



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Jan 20,2008 5:41pm
yea the shrunken one is only in that new laptop tho



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 20,2008 5:44pm
yes, the new mac air... is that not the price you quoted above?
if that's for a normal macbook, that's a crappy price and 2x dell's cost for a D620 with better specs.



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Jan 20,2008 5:44pm
macbook is 1 inch thich macbook air is like .7 inches at the biggest part and something around .2 inches at the smallest. macbook air is the one with the shrunken core 2 duo



toggletoggle post by sxealex   at Jan 20,2008 5:44pm
regular macbook is 1099

macbook air is 1799... really not worth it yet

my Dell 700m was/is awesome (2002)
my Dell D620 is awesome (2007)

then again, I don't want to defend the mac or pc. if either one of them comes out with a 45nm quadcore laptop, I will jump on it.

there is no huge advantage to mac hardware except its cool looking... but its stupid when people shit on it all day long like its a waste of money.

Macs are for people who like Sufjan Stevens



toggletoggle post by xanonymousx at Jan 20,2008 9:35pm
thing looks awesome, but no cd drive or usb ports?
how big are these hard-drives?
how am i going to get my cd's on my computer?
this could change the way we use computers.
or atleast apple's trying to make us.
i think i'll just get a macbook pro for $200 more and have a bigger screen and a cd drive.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 20,2008 9:38pm
the problem with macs is that you pay a premium for the "cool look" but in the end, their hardware specs are a year behind. Which dell laptop model did you have?

It kindof is considering that what you would pay for a basic mac, you could get a PC with twice the power and still not be a pillow biter



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 20,2008 11:21pm
but what if you want to be a pillow biter?

No one should be surprised, but if you were looking for a speed freak of a laptop, you're going to want to glaze those lustful eyes over the MacBook Air. While the new hotness has a speedy memory bus, overall its performance is dramatically smushed by its integrated graphics, anemic 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo processor, and 1.8-inch hard drive. Yes, you can officially call the MacBook Air the slowest machine Apple makes -- but you already figured as much, right? No one buys an ultraportable for its real ultimate power.



toggletoggle post by DestroyYouAlot  at Jan 25,2008 9:07am
1.6GHz?!? How the hell is that acceptable to anyone?



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Jan 25,2008 9:07am
