Wtf is this worshipping of a CEO? Not to mention the rewriting of history and some weird parasocial relationship stuff thrown in. Jobs didn’t want the iPhone because he worried it would cut into iPod sales. Jobs didn’t want an App Store, instead relying on web apps. Jobs famously told people they’re holding their phone wrong, then Apple had to send free bumpers to every iPhone 4 owner as a workaround. He wanted screen size to stay at 3.5”, despite the market demanding bigger screens, saying that “no one is going to buy a phone with a big screen” (5.5” at the time). He was stubborn, controlling, and executives had to always work around him and convince him of decisions that made Apple successful in the first place. Do your research, there’s lots of biographies and interviews from people who’ve worked closely with Jobs. Don’t pull random stuff out of your ass and pass them off as facts.

I like this style way more than the current advertisement.

At the time, it was a really big deal. Tons of people wouldn't buy it because it was 1. Too expensive, and 2. Didn't have an optical drive included. People complained that for it's price, it should of come with the optical drive. And the screen was horrifically bad, people complained about that so much. And extremely underpowered, it could barely be used for anything except surfing the web and answering emails. It was seen as an unnecessary luxury.

@hemipemi

@@elliemay1748 That's a pretty one sided analysis of the initial reception of the Macbook Air. All of the things you mentioned were concerns for some people, but as this presentation points out, the standard for equivalently compact/light machines at the time was 2x 1.2GHz, and this was 2x1.6 or 1.8. It couldn't concievably have been any more powerful in it's weight class at the time. Have you ever used one for any length of time? My Dad bought one and I borrowed it a few times for browsing. It's a well made machine. Great keyboard, and it's altogether an enjoyable device to use. If you want a mobile office device, you want comfort and accessibility, not horsepower. It provides that. Most of what you've said was the typical 'Apples vs oranges' comparisons, which were generally based around the price tag. I made plenty of arguments like that myself at the time. As a young broke student, if I had $1799 to blow there would be no way in hell I would be putting it towards a Macbook - I had power hungry design work to do and would have rather bought the most GHz and and RAM I could afford with reasonable battery life. Size and weight didn't factor in at all. I'd rather suffer for maximum capability. I understand what you're saying about unnecessary luxury, but whether it's a luxury or not depends a lot on the sort of work that you're doing. A huge amount of the work in the world - the vast majority, actually - done on computers, is just numbers and text. You don't hear about that so much when people talk about computers, because it's not interesting, and it's not controversial. The buzz on the Internet, when people talk about computers, is always about horsepower, FPS, benchmarks, will it run Crysis at full detail, can I edit HD videos, do 3D rendering, etc, because that's what computer hardware enthusiasts talk about. People who aren't computer hardware enthusiasts don't talk about computers very much, but they do use them. Editing HD videos is about the most mainstream of those concerns, but it's still a relatively fringe concern and something most consider a neat addition to their computer's capability, not a core function, and most people in the target market for the MacBook Air also have at least one other more powerful laptop or desktop if they really need to do that.

I remember when I first seen that and I was like wow. I know Steve Jobs Demanded a lot from his team but in the end that’s what made Apple so great and that’s what they’re lacking right now. Steve we miss you

Not once have i rented a movie online , especially not in itunes and streaming really started in the mid 2010s. The optical drive vanished over the years because of streaming, fast internet and fast enough flash drives. Since most of the people on this planet do not use macs, it had nothing to do with apple and /or jobs. Still buying my favorite movies on bluray though, because many movies were removed on the streaming services and replaced by crappy shows. Maybe disney will alter all their movies to please the "modern audience", so i'm save with my original uncut versions.

Steve Jobs was such a genius. Just 6 years before this came out, laptops were nearly 3 inches thick and weighed over 6 pounds. People say the MacBook air was so garbage for the value for its time, but consider that this was a good preforming laptop for the time and in such a tiny package. In any windows laptop then for the same performance it would be double the thickness

$1799 is a hell of a lot, but back then this was literally the future. Only 3/11 of their laptops even have optical drives anymore.

Ok, I'm back. That makes more sense now. Steve Jobs is a great orator.

2020 and this relationship with Intel has come to the end.

It's amazing how Steve got out in front of all the 'no cd/dvd drive' predicted criticisms. He, back in 2008, convinced people that you don't really need these things and if you absolutely, on occasion, need to read a CD- here is how you can do it. He did the same thing years prior with no floppy drive. And then of course- he pulled it off with no Flash when the iPhone and iPad came out. His 'Thoughts on Flash' was brilliant. And now of course- we realize he was absolutely correct about all of the above. RiP Steve Jobs.
