Congratulations, MacBook Air, you’re almost there. After a major second-generation round of upgrades and slim-downs, you’re a powerful, svelte machine. Your hardware specs are in the same ballpark as thicker MacBook models. You can be used for real computing, so long as the user isn’t looking to do a bunch of Photoshop rendering on your low-Ghz processor or store a bunch of multimedia files on your low-capacity solid-state drive.
Hmm, MacBook Air. It sounds like you’re only ready for prime time in some area codes. Sure, you can be just about anyone’s second computer. Anyone who isn’t planning to use their MacBook Air as their main computer anyway is going to do just fine on the road with it, unless they need to have all their data with them or tend to run highly processor intensive software tools from the road. But still, MacBook Air, your front and center appearance in Apple’s latest ads makes it clear that you want to be the star of the show. You want to be the main and only computer for plenty of mainstream folks. And thank to the magic of miniaturization, MacBook Air, you can get there. Solid state storage will get cheaper increase in capacity without getting physically larger. Mobile processors will get faster without negatively impacting battery life.
But that won’t happen until 2011 or 2012. And that’s the point at which Apple may get rid of the current “MacBook” altogether and allow the MacBook Air to officially become the MacBook. That’s when we’ll know that the MacBook Air has formally arrived.
