1. The MacBook Air is real – our details may be off slightly but the name is real.
2. Either Apple or someone with knowledge of the Macworld 2008 There is something in the air slogan 2 weeks ago sent the rumor sites false info and went to a few websites with public logs with a browser hacked to show “MacBookAir” as machine-type.

“light as a feather”
a lot of “Hot Air” is what it is. or some kind of a stench in the air?
My bet is that Apple phases out the hard-drive based Macbook and replaces it with this new solid-state drive “Macbook Air.” A move similar to their decision to replace the iPod mini with the Nano.
Macbook Air?
What a dorky name.
AIR stands for ‘Artist In Residence’ . Also the name of George Martin’s Isle of Monserrat recording studio.
oops – AIR studios were originally in Monserrat – now it’s in London.
Also – Macbook Air sounds good to me.
Tick……Tock…….Tick……..Tock
I’ll wait until Tuesday at 9am PST
It’s the Apple airline. MacAir.
…No ron, this would be iAir than!

Oh its real alright……real!!!!
Don’t fudge up my high bitches.
@almux…..No ron, this would be iAir than!
THEN!
@ ron
No, those are Shane MacGowan’s gym shoes.
I wonder if the combination to the Macbook Air is…
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
Actually it is a new computer similar to the OLPC except it is for the “likes of” Paris Hilton and gang…
MacAIR
It will come to you! Just be patient!
And yes, ChrissyOne, you got it immediately because you are not one!
I will be sitting here at 0’Dark:30 waiting like the rest of us – except my Tuesday will just be another Tuesday – Wednesday morning will be the World!
Cheers! Everyone!
The AirBook. Coming soon. If not sooner.
Maybe it’ll be the SkyBook.
You owe me a coffee and a keyboard.
Sounds like Apple finally admits that their machines are about as substantial as air compared to a real computer like a Dell that runs a real OS like Windows!
Your passion. Our prejudice.
MDN MW: “Head”, as in… well, this is a family site, never mind…
I wouldn’t believe a word I read from a guy named “Clive Nettles”.
Inductive Charging would be cool, but what would you plug it into at work, or in the boardroom?
I know but not saying.!!::
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”smile” style=”border:0;” /> Cool.
Unless I get a nice american girlfriend..
Hahha
Cool Anthony dude.
But ..cars.. cough cough.
I wonder what would happen to AAPL if no ultra portable was announced Tuesday…
i predict…GSM cell data connectivity product line wide. If you have an iPhone, you can use the same data plan to access the intranet anywhere there is a cell signal on you macbook or macbook pro…
Wireless Power.
“Cleve Nettles posts several bullet points that “prove [that “MacBook Air”] is either the real name/product or a purposeful hoax…”
Why not print,”It has been suggested, rumored, whispered, and speculated that Steve Jobs could or may introduce, mention, or hint at something at Macworld Expo possibly, maybe, perhaps. I, Clive Nettles, boldly and unequivocally stand by this statement.”?
AIR = APPLE INTERNET RENTALS.
You think?
Setve Jobs had beans for lunch. His beans. Let him show you them.
Will it make you jump higher, like the Nike’s did?….
I meant “Nikes”.
Sorry, Ron.
if it’s macbook air, it could be emphasising the solid state-ness of the computer, that is, it could be about it being super silent.
which isn’t really … ka-pow!!!!!!!!!, but just a thought
Jim – TIV
Here is the real combination.
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, & 42
Maybe they are changing the name of Nike+ to Nike Air…oh wait, never mind.
Here’s hoping for that ultraportable…even if the name kinda sucks.
4, 8, 15, 16, 23, & 42
System Failure, System Failure!
Wtf?
*types 4 8 15 16 23 42 presses enter*
*The MacWorld doesn’t blow up*
*breathes a sigh of relief*
Something in the Air? I’ll bet Apple is starting an airline. Maybe Apple is going to fix air travel in this country. While cruising on Apple Air you can also buy a Mac at 35,000 feet.
MacBook Air? In comparison to Windows, MACs already ship defeatured enough to make you think you just bought nothing, so maybe Apple is turning the corner and starting to tell the truth. You might as well be buying air.
Your potential. Our passion.™
I also saw an image of Air, a wireless NAS (ethernet hard drive). So maybe it’s just a slew of new wireless products.
Maybe the Airport line will become just Air?
Maybe TV will become Air?
There’s NO WAY Apple could or would replace the hard drive with a solid state drive in the MacBook line and keep the same price points. NO WAY!
If this is the big deal. I’m going to use Vista.
@ Jim – TIV
Funny, the MacBook doesn’t look Druish.
I don’t know why they pundents are missing this. It seems obvious to me that Apple as finally perfected Smell-O-Vision.
Since everybody is going out on a limb and saying that Apple will eventually introduce a lighter laptop. And we all now risky of prediction that is….I have my own.
I think will buck the current trend..and start a new one. 500 lb. laptops. That way the nuveau rich on Rodeo drive can have their man-servants dragging around their laptops for them.
Just my $0.02
Why not MacBook Nano? Or Mini? Tablet of course would be MacBook Touch.
Just my 2¢.
Pundents? Does that happen when Ampar gets angry with his own wordplay jokes, and hits them? Oh, you meant pundits.
Wait and see if the lawyers strike, only then will you know..
‘Pundents’ is correct.
Your potential. Our passion.™
@Jim & OBill-Wan Kenobi
“Sounds like the combination an idiot would have on his luggage!”
President: “That’s the combination on my luggage!”
Do we get updates from MDN during the Keynote?
Hopefully there is more to this MacBook Air.
-Slimmer -NanFlash – WiMax – Recharged through a Dock?
Sounds lame. And since the MacBook got a recent update.
This should go to the MacBookPro.
Here is what I’m stinking. Intels latest chips are allowing for the laptop line to all be revised. New Apple books all are LIGHTER, SLIMMER, FASTER, WIMAXED and NANFLASH.

…that’s a SURE BET Apple’s doing something with the name “Macbook Air”!!!
Do you work for MND?
If “mango” is right. Like where’d ya get the info – pls provide links.
Otherwise GREAT work!!!!
Ahhh so so sad. MacWorld is going to be a huge let down.
ho hum! But wait – are these multi-touch Books?
@Stymie
Lets also add Multi-Touch to your wishes.
Maybe the components are made of Helium and it floats in the air.
Anyway, I’m holding out until they release the MacBook Air Extreme.
If all the MacHeads buy this new laptop, will they be considered AirHeads?
Take a look at this:
Chrissy,
I saw that, too! Did you hear of it on GoogleFinance or elsewhere?
I’m curious… what does a photoshop expert think of the pic?
It looks good to me, but I find the guy on the far right side curious… as in, what is he standing on and what is he leaning on?
Actually, it’s pretty curious that it’s a netherlands site, too, but what do you think?
I saw it on Google Finance. The quality of the pic is so terrible, coupled with the foreign site and the strange man you mentioned, I don’t really buy it. I would think that we would have seen other pics of it if it had been real and exposed.
I’m pretty impressed that Photoshop can do that, actually. Me, I usually auto balance color, levels, maybe play with contrast and sometimes put some filters in… I see work like this and I’m just blown away.
Anybody else think these are amazing? I’m gonna start earning mine tonight and hopefully I will get it in 3 weeks or so for only $10. I learned the secrets at Free Macbook Air
