Apple's MacBook Air

Today, Apple released several new products. Among them is a super thin new laptop dubbed "MacBook Air"

The laptop looks neat and is indeed ultra-portable, but I have to wonder if it will appeal to very many average consumers, at least initially. The price is significantly higher than other MacBooks, and there is no optical drive or wired ethernet connection point. So, unless you've got wireless AND a second machine to use simultaneously while installing software and etc. you're out of luck.

Cool product indeed, but I doubt it will be an instant "must have" like iPhone.

Well it doesn't appeal very much to me....

But I do like the look as well as the ultra-thinness.
