Gus: My Tech Blog

I was reading a post on David from 37Signals.com blog, and found some comments that I don’t agree at all. That’s why I decided to write again about the MackBook Air.

It is primarily going to be purchased by people with too much time / money to do a little independent thinking (read: Starbucks junkies, college students with allowances from the parents, fashionistas, etc.).

I think that Apple has revolutionized the market for non-technical users with all the good UI’s, and easy to use applications and OS. Some people would say:

This seems to be an incredibly useless laptop that really only has a market among the yuppies and Mac sycophants with cash to waste on an underpowered, 1-USB port, overpriced toy that in the end just looks pretty and nothing else

mmm… I pay more money for a Sony VAIO TX Series, with less processing (Pentium M) power and smaller screen. But I guess that because is for Business people, then is justificable… Don’t get me wrong! It’s a great product and I’m happy with it. But I’ve been thinking for a long time to buy a Apple computer and really think that this new MacBook Air is the perfect fit for my needs. It is time for a new toy.
