5 Reasons Why the MacBook Air Sucks: Macbook Air Parodies
May 11th, 2008 | by Chris MendesApple’s newest laptop, the MacBook Air, is being talked about by everybody, though it has some serious issues.
Reason number 1: You can fit it in a manila envelope.
This is the best only selling point of the product. Well, quite frankly, it sucks.
This is the original Apple MacBook Air 30-second ad spot:
Reason number 2: It costs as much as my ten-year-old Jeep Cherokee.
I know I paid $300 for my iPod, but come on Apple!
Parody:
Reason number 3: The old MacBook, the regular one without any Air, also fits in a manila folder.
“Man, we should have tested that out guys.” -Steve Jobs
Parody with awesome music:
Reason number 4: It doesn’t even come with a CD drive!
The MacBook Air does not come with anything but the bare essentials. Be prepared to buy all that other “unneeded” stuff separately. Call me old fashioned, but I kind of need a CD drive on the computers I use. At least I got rid of my floppy already.
Parody:
Reason number 5: It doesn’t even come with a manila folder.
I don’t even have manila folders to put a MacBook Air in. I guess I will have to go buy some of those separately as well.
Parody:
P.S.: That song sure does get annoying, huh? Well tell me what you think about the MacBook Air in the comments bellow.

I personally enjoy my computer very much. Everything thing about it is great to me… and as for the cd drive not included… I don’t mind. It’s very portable and I only pull out my external cd drive when I need it; not often.

$3000? Why not just buy a high-end desktop AND a cheap ultra-portable (Eee PC or competitor)? That way, you get the best of both worlds: a powerful feature-filled computer and great mobility.

It’s obviously not for you, no need to bash it. For a laptop warrior, it’s spectacular to not have the extra weight, I have no need of the cd drive, and if I do, I can make another machine share it’s drive so I can access it. On the road, I’m telling you brother, it’s genius.

MacBook Air looks beautiful and it isn’t a bad laptop. It only has one USB port it isn’t very durable it only has an 80GB Hardrive though. Go with the MacBook Pro it has a minimum of 200GB of memory for its Hardrive and it has more durability also it has a disk drive and the Air doesn’t, you have to buy that separately and attach it which is an additional waste of USB space and 99$ I’m just saying this so who ever is interested in getting a Mac go Pro. ^_^

The last parody was the best of all.
But, the Macbook Air isn’t terrible. It’s still a pretty good computer, just seriously overpriced. A lot of people buy it for style, I’ve seen many rich people walking down the street in large groups, all with Macbook Airs. (They’re usually heading to the nearest Starbucks.) It’s light and thin, and good for internet use. And hey…at least it’s got a USB port, for flash drives and shit like that.
But will I buy it?
No.
