MacBook Air Roundup (Feb 22)
February 22, 2008
A few MacBook Air articles that are interesting, from a critical point of view:
Akihabara News points us to an article that’s part of a series on Tech-On!, MacBook Air Teardown: ‘No Waste Outside, Nothing but Waste Inside that looks at what happens when you take a group of engineers from several Japanese PC manufacturing companies and have them tear down a MacBook Air: “Can we say that the MacBook Air has a perfect, sophisticated external appearance, but its insides are full of waste?”
Crave is running a MacBook Air alternatives article, with the following being possible MacBook Air alternatives if you need to spend less or need a few more features or aren’t too concerned about going with Mac OS X:
- Sony Vaio TZ150
- Panasonic Toughbook W7
- Asus U6S
- Toshiba R500
Last week, PC World listed their alternatives. I’ll list mine this weekend.
I’d also add the Fujitsu LifeBook P8010 as a very viable alternative to the MBA.
