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.

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

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.

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.™

“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.
