MacBook Air owners, c'mon out for the talkcast Sunday night

by Michael Rose Feb 15th 2008 at 3:30PM

Last week's talkcast featured Tod Maffin of the CBC, some interesting technical challenges, and the debut of our Yahoo Live video simulcast -- an experiment we'll be trying again as soon as I get some additional upstream bandwidth. Thanks to Tod for a lively evening and an unflappable demeanor. Download direct, listen in your browser or subscribe to the TalkShoe feed in iTunes.

Join us again on Sunday night for our next live show, 10 pm ET, where we want to hear from you -- specifically, the new MacBook Air owners among you. Is it everything you hoped it would be? Are the design choices / limitations of the world's sleekest laptop beginning to make themselves felt? Join cohosts Christina Warren and Chris Ullrich for the MBA chat and a review of the week's top stories.

As always, you can join the conversation on TalkShoe either with or without an account by using the shiny new browser-only client (no downloading required and no registration needed). Just click the "TalkShoe Web" button on our profile page at 10 pm Sunday. You can also listen in on the Talkshoe page or call in on regular phone or VOIP lines: dial (724) 444-7444 and enter our talkcast ID, 45077.

@DavidD We both had 1.6ghz MBA's. We both agreed the .2 ghz wasn't worth the extra money.

I listened to the podcast and could not decipher (since they both talked at the same time) whether the 2 guests had a 1.6 or 1.8 Ghz chip. That would be very useful information to assess their remarks.

I was proud to be among the first consumers to get my hands on a MacBook Air for the week I had it. Unfortunately, that unit was defective and had to be returned. The replacement should arrive early next week. Despite the bad luck, I do not regret having purchased a MacBook Air. The computer fulfilled by major reason for buying it -- a lightweight device with a full screen and keyboard. Lugging my MacBook Pro around again is all the harder, now.

I will try to be around for the talkcast.

Did any other non-Air users upgrade to 10.5.2 and get "Remote Install OS X"? It seems to think, when I run it, that it's on a MacBook Air, telling me to continue to connect to a Mac that has an OS X disc in the optical drive. Weird.

Also, my hard drive has dissappeared from the desktop and the finder. I found a "sudo /development....setfile...." terminal command, and it works... until the next time I start it up. What?

I like TUAW, but is there any chance you could consider stopping using this big ugly photo of this old phone for your talkcasts ? Thanks.
