Cleve Nettles posts several bullet points that “prove [that “MacBook Air”] is either the real name/product or a purposeful hoax from either Apple or by someone with knowledge of the Macworld posters over on 9 to 5 Mac.com.
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.

Donkey Kong…
“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

It’s the Apple airline. MacAir.

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?
