Won’t lie – I’m not a huge Mac fan (and I won’t lie that I was “secretly” thrilled Laurie tossed her Mac for a PC) but Apple does have an eye for design…
and the new MacBook Air is just plain cool!
Ok. Back to my Dell laptop for work – which I’ve had for more than a month and already has more power and features than the MacBook Air :-).
Laurie’s got a fun amusing post on her blog about her recent move to the “dark side.”
She gave up her Mac and we bought her a Dell laptop with Vista.
So far I think she loves the experience except for iTunes freezing – imagine that 🙂

I’m watching a video right now with Robert Scoble and Otto Berkes, general manager for Origami, showing off the new toy.
They’re calling it an Ultra-Mobile PC.
It has a seven-inch screen with tons of cool features.
It will ship with Windows XP Tablet Edition, with a 800×400 screen res. The features will differ from unit to unit, but you can hook in USB devices and the one they’re showing off has a 1 GhZ processor.
Estimated costs are between $599 to $999.
According to Berkes, you can run Windows Vista when it releases as well.
From what Berkes said, this line of computers will basically bridge the gap between Smart Phones and Laptop or Tablet PCs.
It’s small, but not too small that it’s too expensive.
Looks very cool.
