Actually the MBA is made of aluminum, not white plastic…

To say that Intel deserves all the credit is bunk. You think it doesn’t take engineering chops to create an elegant design like this? Did you see it first hand? Pick it up? Try the touch interface?

Obviously you know nothing about product design or engineering. Sure, Intel partnered with Apple on the chip design to make it fit their form factor requirements. And Steve gave Paul Otellini credit for that on stage.

Expensive? Sure if you compare it wintel crap machines that are incredibly clunky and heavy. NOT if you consider the experience of using it, and you care about experience rather than just price.

Your bias is coming through loud and clear.

I agree with the other response. Retract this irresponsible post. And do your homework.

“laps up all the plaudits coming his way, and doesn’t really give any mention to the partners”

Watch the keynote “apple.com”, then retract this entire article. DO YOUR REASEARCH!!!

Ok first of all I dont like the MBA. Impressive size yes but its a chicks computer. Or maybe a wanky corporate machine.

But you say Jobs “doesn’t really give any mention of partners, or manufacturers” But didnt he have the intel CEO on stage with him? giving him some of the applause action?

“wrap it all up in a nice white plastic case” not that it matters but is an aluminum case.

I think this obsession with thin is unhealthy for both the apple products (loosing power and capacity for inches) and teenage girls.
