Where is technology going

 

New Release

Recently Apple released its newest MacBook Air, saying it is the smallest and lightest laptop in the market.The very nice and easy to read article with basic information about this machine can be found here. I totally think it is a truly amazing achievement to get the laptop to be only twice the height of the USB port. The laptop uses Solid State memory, fairly slow CPU, and a good video card. While the price was lowered to actually appeal to everyone, I still dont see any use for this laptop. All you can do on it, is actually browse the web, a thing that iPad can do no problem for less money. You cant do any graphic design on it, as its only 10 or 13 inches...

My question is, why would you buy it then??

Cutting Edge

 Another thought that I have about this machine is how close it got to the iPad, iPhone, and iPod. My former boss predicted that in 10 years all we are going to have are going to be smartphones. I agree with him, the technology is so advanced that we see the barriers between product categories starting to blend. Now a days you can do almost everything on a smartphone as you could do only on a proper PC a few years ago.
All we really need is a projector in a phone being able to project a full size keyboard, and you've got a PC in front of you. That is a really cool idea, and I cant wait till this day comes.Until then if you want to have the most cutting edge piece of technology MacBook Air might be a good choice.
