MacBook Air released. It's tiny, and it's feature poor.

Apple today released its much anticipated MacBook Air. It comes in a very spiffy new design. It's tiny! Yet it still sports a full sized 13.3" screen and full sized keyboard.


The specs are as follows:

Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz (or a 1.8 GHz for $300 more)
80 GB 4200 rpm 1.8" drive (or a 64GB flash drive for $999 more)
13.3" 1280x800 LED-backlit LCD
GMA X3100 graphics
2 GB RAM (non-upgradable)
iSight
802.11n + Bluetooth
Multitouch trackpad
Full sized backlit keyboard
Aluminum enclosure
No optical drive (or an external drive for $99)
DVI/VGA output (via dongles)
1 USB 2.0 port (but no Firewire - no target mode?)
Audio port (analogue only, no optical)
Speaker and microphone
Non-removable battery
No Ethernet port (but an optional dongle is available)

$1799

In other words, it's gorgeous, it's tiny, it's feature poor, and it's very expensive. Is this the Cube all over again? Well, maybe not, but I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be one of Apple's worst selling laptops in its current line.
