Apple The envelope had been lying there on the minimalist desk all throughout Jobs' keynote. The rumours had been clear: Apple is going to launch a subnotebook, a sort of MacBook Mini. Despite the rumours, the collective gasp of amazement was clearly audible when Jobs pulled the MacBook Air out of the envelope. I have to admit, even I was all wowed. Consequently, you can imagine I was delighted when Apple NL agreed to loan me a review unit as soon as they had the MacBook Air in stock. Read on for the review.

For example, 12" Fujitsu-Siemens, C2D T5250 (1.5GHz), 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, Intel X3100 graphics, 3h battery life for about 680 euro. It's not as sexy but is powerful enough and 2.5x cheaper that McBook Air. Not hellishly expensive for sure.

hu? the only laptop from fsc with an t5250 which i can find is the "Esprimo Mobile Edition 9 V 5505" - 15,4' big and weighting 2,7 kg, selling for close to 700 €. the cheapest 12'' with an c2d seems to be the "Esprimo Mobile U9200" for around 1000€.

There are some places (here in Poland) that sell Esprimo Mobile U9200 with C2D T5250 for 680€.

Here's a polish pricegrabber site if you don't believe me

dzien dobry,

those prices are in zloty ?
that is working out at around £500, but the op was looking for something like $500, which is around half what they are looking for.

Now, I love Krakow, and think it is a really cheap place to visit, but computer prices there are just too expensive. Especially laptopi.
