The Macbook Air is dropping tommorrow, and there’s been lots of criticism of it - not enough memory, no ethernet, no DVD burner, etc. What do we at Gizm0.com think? Hogwash. Gizm0.com takes our recommendations seriously, but yes, you should buy the Macbook Air, and quick like.

The issues they raise are b.s.:

- Memory isn’t like what it used to be. Buy a terabyte drive and keep it at home, where your precious memories should be in the first place. You could use your iPod’s 160 gb harddrive as your main harddrive, but we tend to lose things, so stick with the terabyte at home idea.

- no DVD/CD burner, well, no problem, they sell one for $99 bucks and you can keep that at home too.

- no ethernet cable, no firewire.  There’s $20 adaptors at radio shack to take care of those problems.  The idea is to keep it mobile and fashionable so that you can hang out at cafes, checking out gadget porn while cuties all around you check you out.  (oh yeah!)

If you have an office computer or desktop computer, you can keep everything there, what you get is style, mobility and Apple’s awesome OS. Go for it bro!
