Apple released new MacBooks today. Improvements in processor (don't really care), storage (don't really care, even 160GB is too much for me), and memory (Boowtfhoo, I paid approximately $150 for 2GB RAM, which is now already included in the price).

Meh. Not that impressive of an update. I'm happy. Minus the RAM thingy. =P

Update: Nevermind, I noticed the Canadian price is $100 cheaper. So I paid like... $250 extra. Ugh.

I've been wanting a laptop for almost six months now. I was really tempted to buy a MacBook Pro but it's a little too expensive for me. So I waited. I waited six months for MacWorld hoping that Apple would refresh the whole MacBook lineup and they didn't. Gawsh. Instead, they introduced a new laptop known as the MacBook Air.

Design wise, it's a beauty. Sexy simplistic design. Love the aluminum finish to it. Backlit keyboard is always nice. The Remote Disc feature seems neat. Multi-touch trackpad as I had imagined. But I don't see who they are targeting for with this new product. It's just super slim. It has a 13.3 inch screen and I don't think you can classify it as ultraportable. I thought that it was a let down, specs and price wise. Apple has surely set a standard for slim laptops for sure though. We'll be seeing many like these in the future.

For almost same amount of price and better specs, you can get the black MacBook after you upgrade its RAM to 2GB along with the 3 year extended warranty. Yeah, I really want that and I'm leaning towards it at the moment. Enough waiting. Of course I'll be pissed if the new MacBooks come out 3-4 months from now. =P

But whatever. I need a laptop for school and for all my art, design and photography needs. I'm stuck with an old Sony VAIO desktop with 256MB RAM. Heh. I'm trying to sell it. I don't think anyone is going to buy it though. But do you guys think it's a good deal? I need something small and light. 13 inch screen is fine with me. Maybe I can buy a separate monitor later on to accompany it; you know, just for graphics work you tend to need more space on screen.

I know I don't have a lot of readers on my blog yet but any type of suggestions are welcome.

Update: I think I am going to wait on this, yet again.
