Keep An Eye On Your Air, It Just May Disappear Into Thin…
Posted on 09 March 2008, at 8:05 pm, by Mitchell Oke
I’ve had the Air for almost a week now and I am still staggered at how thin it is. My dad was so astonished when I showed him he is actually going to buy one. My favourite trick at the moment is putting it in a leather notepad case, because it’s so thin. All this makes the story that Mike Cane directed us to so believable: an Air getting thrown out with the daily paper.
Steven Levy from Newsweek has posted his story of losing his MacBook Air review unit, it’s likely fate being taken out with the trash. Sounds ridiculous I know, but having one for a couple of days has shown me it probably has happened.

When I first read this article, I just couldn’t get over the shock. How bad this must have sucked… :-/

I wonder how many loaner items like that get lost or stolen.

I dug through a trash can once for a $80 check; a $1800 review unit from Apple? I would be heartsick for months until the bill got paid.

Thats a bummer.
I have not personally seen a MacBook Air. Is it really so thin and lite? However, I think the worlds first thin and light-weight laptop was the NEC Ultralite. I had that laptop back in the early 90’s. The Ultralite was the same dimensions and weight of a issue of PC magazine at that time.
