The MacBook Cube

January 15, 2008 • 1 min read


This post is over ten years old. Chances are, I've learned enough to have advanced my thinking about some of this stuff.

David Gratton is wondering if the new MacBook Air is like the ill-fated Power Mac Cube:

I was about to place my order for the new MacBook Air and everyone in my office was - “I wouldn’t buy that. It looks nice, but it isn’t worth it at that price.”

Immediate flash back 7 years to the Apple Cube. I was in the market for a new desktop and was about to buy The Cube and everyone in my office was - “I wouldn’t buy that. It looks nice, but it isn’t worth it at that price.”

I think there’s a more concrete reason the Air is like the Cube. It does slightly less and costs substantially more, but doesn’t really do anything extra.
