'Air' is Applish for 'netbook'
What should one call a computer with the following specs?
- 11-inch monitor
- 64GB flash storage
- 2GB memory
- weight: 1.06 kg
I’m pretty sure that most people would call this a netbook, but Apple don’t like netbooks, so they call it the MacBook Air.
I can only conclude that Air is Apple-speak for ‘netbook’.
Of course, by not calling it a netbook, they think they can defend the price (£849), which is very high compared to non-Apple netbooks with similar specs.
Would love to know how Apple manages to brainwash seemingly intelligent people (with too much money) over and over again!

I think “seemingly intelligent” is the keyword.
