That was great, I had no trouble hearing Scott at all.

Looks slow and choppy. Any word on whether the multi touch stuff will be coming to other laptops? Multi touch doesn't look nearly as cool on a track pad as it is on a touch screen, but I still wouldn't mind playing around with it. Probably still an improvement over having to click zoom buttons or whatever.

Its almost too thin and light. Why does it need to be so thin ? Anyway, will the multi touch stuff work in windows XP ?

I'll take a beastly MacBook Pro over a macbook air any day. I actually like to be able to do shit with my computers. Can't wait to order the newly refreshed MacBook Pro announced at MacWorld...oh yeah, they didn't refresh the MBP. I guess WWDC is ONLY 6 months away.

does anyone know what song that was which was playing around the mid way point? I really liked it. :D

shize the Air looks thinner than the pro's screen!
The macbook Air surely can't replace the Pro but, I'd definitely sell my macbook and get this if I could. I guess I'll try to put it in the local free news ads lol.

I would love it if they put out a software update for the other macs, so we could get gestures like that.
But you know, product differentiation and all =(

It's MacBook, not Macbook. It's not as bad as Ipod but being TUAW I would hope you'd get that right.

Cool... new multytouch is a realy cool! But! Standart MacBook have multytouch basic... hack for standart macbook dont exist?:D

It is stupidly thin, but still the same size as my Macbook. I'm cool with the size of my Macbook because it's about the size of a...book. All my bags are equipped to handle toting something of about that size, so while this is sexy, no need to be dropping $1.7K for that.

The Macbook Air should really be called something like the Macpamphlet or Macfolder because of it's ridiculous thinness.

Woot! i know the bald man in the background... The Air is HELLA Sexy!! :)

Oh, and on the topic of NOT refreshing the MacBook Pro. January 7th marked 5 years since the first Macs in an aluminum enclosure were introduced. The MBP we have now is pretty much still the same 17" PowerBook from 2003!
I think this could warrant a post of its own. Why no celebration, Apple?

What about the screen? Could somebody tell me if the screen is better than the one on the MacBook?

I mean, of course, the LED makes it better, but is it of quality like the MacBook's:
Bad gradients
Color banding
Getting brighter from top to bottom.

The MacBook's screen is really bad, and the glossy coating is suspicous.

jesus christ. if the MBA f-ing screen were smaller, you pukes would be complaining, "it's too small!" if it were any heavier, you'd be whining "shee-it! this ain't no no differn't than my mac book!" the speed kicks ass out of my powerbook g4 i'm typing on and my tower g5 at work, so i THINK it is good for "doing shit." you're not supposed to edit VIDEO on the thing. as far as the drive capacity, i've got adobe cs2 apps, quark, 10 gig of music, etc. amount of space this takes up: 43.16.

I'd love to see a comparison shot of the Air and the previous smallest Mac notebook, the 12" PowerBook...
