MacBook Air unboxing pictures and video
The MacBook Air has landed, and people are posting unboxing videos and pictures. The embedded video was sent to us by desenso44, a new MacBook Air owner. Our friends at UneasySilence have taken a slew of pictures of their newly arrived MacBook Air.
Are you reading TUAW on a MacBook Air? How is it treating you so far?
Update: The embedded video has been changed to point to the correct source of the video.

Haha isn't that the truth. Only us apple geeks would enjoy pulling some fancy computing device out of a box soo much! Woohoo!

Uh?
I thought this was a nice, green Apple product. And the -box- is shrink wrapped? I giggled a little when I saw that. My MBP box wasn't shrink wrapped...

I'd love to watch, but mine is in the mail and I want to experience the unboxing myself. I am loving this product and can't wait to get my hands on it. I am worried about the battery life though, there is some good info on that at http://personafile.com/Macbook-Air.html I was thinking that the lack of a removable battery wasn't a big deal because I thought you couldn't take a spare on the plane (carry on), but now I learn this is checked baggage.

I know this will sound strange, but I wish I could get a closeup of the yellow sticker on the box.

"Betty," ummm, looks like a man. Check out those hands. And the reflection of "her" mug when she holds the shrinkwrapped box up to the camera.
Ugly Betty?

Thanks a lot. I love these unboxings. I'm with kja though...I kind of wanted a closeup of the yellow sticker. And where's the manila envelope? I thought they were shipping in one of those, lol.

The video you embedded is actually stolen. The original is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUaI2_zkfKA. It was properly linked on MacRumors. The person who submitted this video to TUAW has openly admitted to stealing it in the MacRumors forums.
Not that any of this really matters.. but it seems kind of pathetic to steal a video and then claim it as your own and submit it to news sites.

That explains why "Betty" looks like a dude in the video, then (as I noted in a post above).
Betty is a FRAUD.
Bad, Betty. Bad, bad, Ugly Betty...

Not as annoying as the fact that he doesn't open the white pouch under the cd box...anyone else catch that? wtf?
