“Looking for a MacBook Air? It seems the lightweight ‘road warrior’ laptop has been flying off the shelves at a rate that Apple cannot keep up with,” Andrew Buck reports for Crain’s New York Business.
“According to interviews with New York-area Apple stores, the company’s new Air has been sold out every day since its inaugural flight January 29. Although Apple has increased store orders, it cannot keep up with demand. Apple’s online store at Apple.com is quoting a five to seven business days before the hot product becomes available,” Buck reports.
“New York isn’t the only city that is out of Air. Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Boston have been having problems keeping up with demand,” Buck reports.

Nobody is forced to buy the MB Air!
Neither MB or the MB Pro won’t go away therefore.
So if some people like the MB Air, please let them decide that on their own. Not everyone with a different usage profile or opimion is stupid.
So please stop missusing this site to demonstrate your “my opinion is the only one that counts” stupidness.
Or in others words:
It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
“they should make em in pretty colours with optional tampon holders”
Why optional? You could always use it as a holder for fresh ass corks.
Just because they’re selling out of the MacBook Air doesn’t mean that it’s a hot product. They probably made SIGNIFICANTLY LESS MacBook Airs than any other MacBooks, so selling out of a few of them at each store isn’t such a big feat. In my field discussions with dozens of consumers & business owners, most people don’t want the MacBook Air — they much prefer purchasing the MacBook or the MacBook Pro.
@ChrissyOne,
Seriously? Because a “friend of Dorothy” would ever refer to women as “chicks?”
You know as well as I, misogyny is for straight men.
@ justified
I know, I’m just fishing.

But for the record, I’ve know some woman-hatin’-homos in my day.

“… I’ve know some woman-hatin’-homos in my day….”
A M E N. In fact the venom spouted towards women by gay men has often shocked me. There is a difference though. Straight men dislike what they can’t have and cannot ever possibly understand. Gay men viciously hate what they can never be.
Went in to buy Air and got gas.
@ChrissyOne,
It’s those woman-hatin’-women that you gotta look out for.
@theloniousMac,
Gee, that’s funny. The venom spouted towards women by straight men has helped me to understand why the divorce rate in America stands at roughly 50%. Likely because straight men viciously hate anyone they can’t control.
So, by your logic, gay men viciously hate sea turtles AND hummingbirds?
I know that local Fry’s Electronics are all out of MBA, even the display units were sold.
MDN Magic Word is ‘half’ as in the number Apple probably predicted for demand.
<u>Anyone</u> can dislike those smarmy Chelonioidea AND those smartass, little Trochilidae.
All that flapping and attitude. WTF?
@ justified
True ‘dat. I’ve got my eye on you, Coulter.
@ theloniousMac
Gay men don’t want to be women, dumbass. Watch some gay pron to learn more.
It seems appropriate to describe Air sales as “flying off the shelves.”
flappo doesn’t need a MBA, he stores his tampon supply safely up his ass.
“It seems appropriate to describe Air sales as ‘flying off the shelves.'”
It says it in every draft too.
Hey guess who bought one of those MBA’a? Liberals get ready to screech… KARL ROVE! He was on Foxnews and everyone was jealous of his laptop, they said so themselves.
Its fantastic! Firstly I didnt want to buy it, but when I looked through this site (http://www.maconair.com), I had changed my point of view and bought it! Rly enjoyed this model
