MacBook Air’s fatal wireless flaw
Well, well, well – the Macbook Air has been around a while now and Brook from CNET brings us a great article on the fatal wireless flaw in the Macbook Air:
Apple’s MacBook Air doesn’t live up to its wireless promise.
To quote an Apple tagline, “without wires, you’re free to go anywhere.” But the wireless part of the “air” play on words fails to deliver. (The other half its light-as-air weight: here it does deliver.)
As I’ve written in the past, I like the Air. I got one in February as soon as it was available at retail and have been pleased with the performance, screen, keyboard, build, and, until recently, the battery life (which has dwindled to under an hour). Of course, the head-turning aluminum aesthetics is also a major appeal to many people.
That said, after a spurt of trips including a 10-day stay on the East Coast and a few treks to Los Angeles, the Air’s wireless shortcomings have become painfully clear. In a word (or two), no 3G.
