The MacBook Air Is Cool, But I'll Take an Eee PC
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course the Air does have its advantages, like a bigger screen and longer
| battery life, but considering the price, it should be annihilating its
| competition. Instead, stuff like a non-replaceable battery and a puny array
| of USB ports make it more of a fashion accessory than a serious piece of
| consumer technology.

Apple Mac OS X software refunds

| Apple's new "Air" laptop looks sweet! ..but they're not selling it with a
| GNU+Linux install yet.. :( So looks like I would need to buy a standard
| model, then disagree with the software license terms and return that part of
| a refund.
