New Macbook Air 13" Unboxing [Pics]

**Cody Overcash** · 10-26-2010, 10:33 AM

So a new Macbook Air showed up a minute ago at the door. Decided to take a few pics and make some basic observations while unboxing

Look, it's a box

What could be inside?

Apple always has classy packaging

It looks like every other apple notebook

Mag strip, papers, ya know

Macbook Air Software Reinstall Drive

Admit it, this little thing is badass, forget those ridiculous DVDs

It's thin

Really, it's thin (next to 13" Macbook Pro)

Looks a lot like the 1st generation Macbook Air (same size, feel, ~ weight)
(I know I know, early adopter fanboy ...

)

Just a couple shots

It took me a minute to figure out how to turn it on

The screen IS brilliant

Review coming someday, this thing is going to be tied up forever transferring on files ...

Ok, now I know it.. my next mac will be this Macbook air, next to my Mac Mini, okay, maybe even the 11" xD

I wasn't going to get one but now I may reconsider. that thing looks bad***

Its actually just an aftermarket hard drive enclosure for 2.5" drives. I got a few of them cause they look really nice with Macs. You can find them cheap here:

Cody - I know you're super busy, so feel free to let me beta test it.

**mi1knc0okies** · 10-26-2010, 11:58 AM

wow... that sure is sexy... my girlfriend was just saying how i should go get one... maybe a will!!

**hookedonkronix** · 10-26-2010, 11:59 AM

That thing is awesome. I was playing with one @ Best Buy the other day and I loved it. Too bad the specs /fail. Hopefully the next model comes with an i5 then I'll consider getting one. Kinda regret buying the iPad now, could have saved my money for one of these instead.

**LamboFan** · 10-26-2010, 12:03 PM

Hahah. I gotta get one of these soon

**goldenchildrose** · 10-26-2010, 12:37 PM

I would so buy the 11" instead of an ipad

**kickerman65** · 10-26-2010, 12:51 PM

I picked one up last night and got a 25% discount cause my buddy works at apple. Saved me $400!! Now i just gotta wait for it to show up at my doorstep.
