8 flaws in the new Apple Macbook Air laptop

It has only been a day since the announcement of the Macbook Air, and I understand that it’s too early to draw any conclusions, and I’m not going to do it, but I would still like to point out the shortcomings of this device. There are only eight of them, and it is up to you whether they are essential or not. So, let's begin:

1. The impossibility of self-replacement of the battery - this means that you will constantly depend on the power source, and you will not be able to take a spare battery with you on a long trip, as you are doing now with your dell or sony.
2. There is no optical drive, which means that you cannot watch your favorite DVD movie or install the necessary program until you pay an additional $ 99 for an external DVD drive, which, by the way, only works with Macbook Air.
3. Built-in mono speakers - is that a thing of the past? Why not stereo?
4. RAM is limited to 2GB with the inability to replace or upgrade.
5. The absence of the Ethernet port - it will be possible to connect to the local network only via Wi-Fi, but so far not all networks offer this feature.
6. Slow processor - Intel Core 2 Duo 1,6 GHz is the slowest in this series, and even an upgrade (for an additional $ 1300) to 1.8 GHz will not bring much performance improvement.
7. Slow hard disk - as is known, the basic Macbook Air model comes with a 1.8 ″ hard disk with a capacity of 80GB and a rotational speed of only 4200rpm - be prepared for slow loading of the system and programs. Of course, there is the possibility of upgrading to 64GB SSD, but again for 1.3k $
8. Only two versions of the laptop on sale are expensive ($ 1799) and super-expensive ($ 3098).

Of course, one could add the presence of Single Link DVI which is not supported by the 30-inch Apple Cinema Display (Dual Link DVI is necessary for it), but this is not so significant - such monitors are not particularly common and I think their owners will not take to the streets with protests about this.

That's all, and now it's up to you to decide whether this device is worth the money that Apple asks for it or not.
