Life with the MacBook Air

Filed under: Reviews, MacBook Air

It’s been almost two months now, and life is still almost perfect living and working with the MacBook Air. To recap, for those of you just joining us, in previous articles I told you my reasons for ordering a MacBook Air. Then, after having it for a few days, posted a fairly well-regarded review of the new Mac.

Now, after a bit of time has gone by and I’ve had a chance to use the MBA on a daily basis, it’s time for an update on my experiences, both good and bad. To recap just a bit more, my MacBook Air of choice is the 1.6 Ghz version with the 80GB PATA HD. I did not spring for the solid-state drive model, although I really wanted it. But even for a Mac-lover like myself, the cost was just a bit too high.

At the moment, the MBA has various applications installed on it including Adobe Photoshop Ć, the iLife ‘08 and iWork ‘08 suites, Office 2008, and it’s recently been updated to OS X 10.5.2 with all other various updates applied. Ok, that’s it for the recap, let’s get to the update.

More Apple gold for superstar athletes

Filed under: Accessories, Hardware, iPod Family, Mac Pro, iPhone, MacBook Air

David Beckham recently received a snazzy gilded iPod touch from his teammates. That’s nice and all, but this guy is a superstar. He needs some seriously togged out Apple goodies. With that in mind, we’re offering the following shopping list:

• The golden MacBook Pro. This sucker features gold-plated casing, a keyboard painted to match and “…your logo in diamonds.” Try opening one of these at Starbucks.
• The $39,750 MacBook Air. Twelve thousand hand-applied Swarovski crystals decorate its 24k gold casing. For forty grand, you would think you get a solid state hard drive.
• The golden iPhone. You knew this one was coming. Unfortunately, the pricing is still “to be announced.”
• Golden “classic” iPods. Why stop at the touch? You can just as easily get your 160GB or 80GB classic dipped in gold, as well as the nano.

Here’s hoping someone special in David’s life reads our list and makes a purchase. While you’re at it, a buffing cloth would be good, too.
