Digg is saying that leak is fake.
iSight HD (720p)? Not going to happen. That list is fake.

Yeah, if that were real, that would be too much good stuff to be true. I can believe two or three megatons, but there's like an OMG in every category there.
LOL Macs.

Why? It's probably gonna be pretty expensive even for a mac.She bought a MacBook a few months ago... :o
PHIL COLLINS AT MACWORLD! AND HE'S GONNA BE MURDERING PEOPLE AND THROWING THEM OFF BOATS
http://live.gizmodo.com/Does that auto-refresh?
omg ±30 mins left :hyper
They need to bring back the mofuckin wallstreet. Sexiest laptop EVER
Why would you need that?
so much fail in one device
the one impressive thing is battery life, I suppose. 5 hrs is damn impressive.
my friend Joe is ripping all his DVDs into a video jukebox...it's totally hot. if apple TV supported ripping, streaming, and additional codecs, then we'd have something worth getting hot and bothered about
so much fail in one device
Do point out the fail please.
I already have a G4 powerbook - so getting a MAcbook pro isnt that exciting for me.
This however is ;)
If it sux - ill sell it.
Honestly all im worried about is the screen rez....
going from my 20 inch imac screen to my 15 inch powerbook screen already makes me feel way cramped.
Eh, my M1330 murders it. And it was cheaper.
I bet this thing is crazy responsive. Anyone have experience with a Windows laptop running from flash memory only?

I was tempted to get a flash HD on my M1330 (Dell's sub-4lb portable with an actual GPU), but it was an 800 dollar price increase, so I held off on it. It would have been sweet, but with 64gigs, that's not much space, so I'd run into size problems fairly quickly.

I really don't think laptop bags can get much thinner than the MacBook Pro sleeves. The bag also has to offer some sort of protection, even if not room for accessories. But I bet someone will make a sleeve type bag. Probably more than one person.
Well, after sleeping on it, I'm kind of settled on the Pro for now.
The Air spec is just a bit too low for me. If the 64GB solid state one were a bit cheaper, I'd probably jump on that, but $3000 is way over my budget. Will probably go for a much higher spec Pro at $2000 instead.
I've heard amazing things about the Cinema displays too... do any of them have dual (switchable) input? I'd like to have my Mac Mini on one input and my new lappy on the other input (when it's connected).
I kind of wish Apple would do some of the cool stuff JP laptops do, like built in felica reader and stuff - that would be hot. I guess it's not that popular overseas yet?
I need to buy a laptop by September.
/me looks at bank account :'(
Wait actually there's money in there for once.
What kind of Windows laptop should I get?
Also, note that the 80gig normal HD on the air is only 4200. That's slower than old people fuck.
Yeah, when I saw that I almost barfed.
It's like they're forcing you to buy the solid state version :-\
I don't need space because of my Mini server, but I would like the spec to last a few years, yeah.
I'm getting rid of my Vaio and XP desktop when I buy my new laptop, so it has to be respectable.
The XPS M1330 and XPS M1530 are pretty sexy. The screen is also upgradeable to 1680x1050 on the 1530. :drool
you aaaalmost talked me into it while I was there!

When I travel I can just stick the cables/power adaptor in with my shaving stuff.
My only disappointment in the MAcbook Air is that its not truly 'air' - they just do not have projectors good enough yet.
LEts go even smaller guys.......if I need privacy I can run the video out into a pair of display glasses.
LOSE the SCREEN!
-AND- does Dell have good customer support?:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
Man, I would probably be tempted into one of those XPS machines, but I've pretty much decided to give up on the Windows platform. Not out of hatred, I just find OS X's Linux backend so much easier to get things done in, and the UI is always nice too.
Dell is fine, jesus christ Abrader could you sound less like the Knights Templar when you talk about crap.
New Mac OS X 10.5 loses the free BSD backend.
What are the price ranges on XPS machines...in the $2000-$3000 range?The non-gaming XPS start at around $1000

No wonder the Mac has no games.New Mac OS X 10.5 loses the free BSD backend.
Actually, 10.5 is the first version of OSX that is fully certified as Unix, and I doubt they accomplished that using all their own code. Leopard is still using open source components from one of the open Unixes, and I doubt they'd change from BSD to something else when BSD has been good enough up until now.
I want an SSD very badly, but they're too small to justify the price, really. Money's nothing to me, sure. . .but neither is 64gigs.

What are the benefits of SSD? It is better battery life due to no moving parts?
