So I got it! Typing on it as we speak. Dim brightness on the LED display and keyboard and all, fancy aluminum body and very very slender case. I’m electric! Have bought this sadness-bringing-geek-dream-machine when still unreleased in Romania and only a handful of my very fancy, style driven, fellow entrepreneurs have got it.

Owning it is easy. You just can’t understand why everyone doesn’t have one! And when you do, this mixed feeling of discomfort and exclusivity take over, as you know you have the best machine the guys at Cupertino now have to offer.
Inevitably “what next?” comes along.

The Air has proven many a time more that I need no Pro line computer. I need no fancy graphics card, no terabyte hard drive, no yada yada. I simply need my .Mac account to sync my bookmarks, keychain, Mail accounts and address book, beloved Twitterrific & Y! IM to just go ahead and start using my new Mac.

Music, movies (few) and other docs to go with I can always transfer over the tubes from my always-on Mac Mini at home.

The Air is the ultimate wireless device and so much fun. I happen to have Apple’s wireless Mighty Mouse, a fancy Sonyericsson Bluetooth headset and all the WiFi in the world + a HSUPA 3G modem. The rest is bliss and really, if your job is somewhat related to the web, if you don’t play Solitaire and don’t use a computer for spreadsheets, the Air fills in that gap. Most of my data is in the cloud, my get paid for online marketing and I’m a fancy roamer. And I got the cash too.

Fuck that white Macbook and ‘no thank you’ to the Pro line. I’m a sucker for the Air concept and I feel like I fit Apple’s initial bill like a glove. I do. And if your usage profile looks somewhat like mine, stop craving and go get one!
There’s a market niche for this machine and I’m happy to just say it: I’m one of those guys!
