Sculpted not built…. the new mac notebooks

Admittedly I have an unhealthy obsession with my mac notebooks.

They are not only slight fetish objects, but my office, the centre of my digital and online life and basically some of the best designed objects I’ve ever owned.

For some reason, it seems almost just that a company so fanatical about design has made its next big leap, not through building, but _sculpting_ its product. Very impressive. And also, I am very very happy they are now environmentally friendly (Congratulations Ze !! You won ! Can you start talking to me again now if I buy a new one ?… =] )

Now the real big question is whether I get the Macbook Air in early November now it’s addressed my concerns (graphics and SSD storage space up to 128GB) or grab one of the new macbooks.

Also, the keynote was fascinating to watch in terms of the drivers of what’s made them successful and their momentum.

I’m also stunned they’ve managed to give their customers _more_ of what they want and make it cheaper. Barring serious issues coming to light with the new products I can’t see why you would want to buy another laptop (even with how nice the Lenovo 301 is).
