MAcBook Air CancelI wrote about ordering a MacBook Air after some encouragement from my wife. A few days ago I canceled the online order and while I’ll miss being one of the first to have the world’s thinnest notebook, I know this is the right decision.

I like a lot of Apple’s products and I definitely like how thin the MacBook Air is, but that’s about it. After re-reading my original post about the MacBook Air, I realized that I made an incredibly impulsive purchase for all the wrong reasons.

I was being egged on by wife to buy one, presumably so she could carry it around instead of her full-sized company-issued notebook, especially when she’s traveling. I was so excited that she actually wanted me to buy a gadget that I didn’t thoroughly examine our needs for it. Also, $2000 is a LOT of money to spend on a notebook that will play third-fiddle to my primary notebook and her work computer.

For those of you who have been living in a cave for the last month, the MacBook Air is Apple's newest 13.3" ultra-thin notebook offering cutting edge design in a remarkably thin package. With Intel Core 2 Duo processors, Intel X3100 integrated graphics, an optional 64GB solid state drive (SSD), and a stylish yet tough design, the MacBook Air might be one of the hottest 13-inch notebooks on the market in 2008. Let's take a closer look.

Sleek and sexy hardly begin to describe the new Apple Macbook Air. You won’t find an optical drive, and inputs are limited to one USB input, a mini DVI, and an audio out.
