Apple MacBook Air

Overpriced, oversized

Quick. Name one thing that the Apple Air has that the Asus Eee PC doesn't. Good salespeople are those who know the value of money, so they won't be buying these. Let's hope purchasing managers have similar sense.

Clash of the compacts: Eee vs Air

Not a real subnotebook

For two reasons:

1. The screen is too big and the form factor ain't exactly smaller than the MacBook (it's thinner, yes, but not smaller).

2. For what a subnotebook is supposed to do, only the Asus Eee PC gets the pricing right. Who would want to pay more than $800 for something that is inherently crippled?

RIP A-TV

It doesn't take much to bury the Apple TV, really -- just deliver actual HD quality content, rather than the crappy "quality" and limited formats that iTunes is capable of.
