What do you guys think of the new MacBook Air?
I saw it today at Best Buy. It's so thin and so small.
Not sure how good it'll be for gaming.

I wouldn't buy a laptop for gaming. You can't upgrade them, so they get outdated quickly. Not to mention they can be clumsy to use. If you want a gaming computer, I'd look at a desktop with a high-end video card and lots of memory and RAM.

As for the notebook itself, I looked it up on the Internet for an expert's opinion. Reviews.cnet.com says that it's "Incredibly thin yet surprisingly sturdy" with "new trackpad gesture controls [that] are very useful" and the "remote optical drive makes living without a built-in drive much easier." However, it has "Very limited connectivity" and is "slower than other MacBooks", with a "SSD hard-drive option [that] is ridiculously expensive." The "standard hard drive is small" and the "battery is not user replaceable."

If I wanted a notebook, I'd go for something else.

It's interesting as a gimmick machine. By that, I mean the main selling point is a gimmick: being smaller than other laptops. If the technology is refined more, giving it a larger hard drive and solving the other problems, while keeping the small size, then it might be worth getting. As it is, though, it's just a novelty for people with money to blow.

No CD drive, How would that be useful to me? Can't load games, videos, or anything of that nature unless I use an external drive. I don't see how I could use that as a respectable computer.

Those things are so cool there like skinner then paper... well not really but I also think there overated I mean you pay over 2000$ for a laptop that has no disc drive.. I mean how will you install drivers that are not on the internet.. and all laugh when some poor soul cracks his in half on accident.

They are freakin awsome! its just that the price is way to high for a computer that you'll drop in a weeek....i have a mac book pro and i already chipped it on the side
