Apple's MacBook Air
Oh you are such a sucker if you bought one of these.
Apple's new MacBook Pro, meanwhile, is crafted from aluminum using a process code-named "Brick" that involves lasers and water (... and unicorns and David Bowie and trucker hats and whatever else is hip in places like Brooklyn these days).
But the MacBook Air? No amount of breathless advertising sufficiently obscures the fact that you paid a premium for an elegantly designed, under-featured, overpriced laptop without an optical drive.
What does it do? It fits in an interoffice mail envelope and it has rounded edges. Forward that junk to Frank in Design. After all, everyone already knows he's a self-indulgent boob.
Cool if: You're a rich, self-indulgent trend-follower.
Not cool if: You'd like to avoid looking like such a rich, self-indulgent trend-follower.
