MacBook - Thin Enough

Anita really wanted to get the Macbook Air when it first came out a few months ago. It took me some time to convince her of all the technical reasons why the Macbook is actually a much better buy than the Air (lack of ethernet port, firewire, less stable HD, no DVD drive, etc).

The debate about whether or not the Macbook is better over the Air lasted for a few weeks. After awhile, I came to realize that she didn't really care all that much about the technical specs of the computer. Rather, she wanted the Air because it was thin and cool looking. Nevertheless, being the geek that I am, I refused to go against my own believe and got her a Macbook for her birthday instead.

She turned out to really like it afterall. And to top it off, I found this video for her to convince her that the Macbook is thin enough to be cool:
