New Mac Books

MacWorld was yesterday and I was hoping for a sub-$1000 Mac Book. And there was one. Unfortunatly is is $999 (oh, +tax and +shipping). Yeah. Not such a good deal.

I like the new design for the most part, although I am not sold on the touch pad with no buttons. However, there is no way I am going to buy one. They are just too expensive for what you get. I can build a new Dell Laptop running Ubuntu for 1/2 the cost and slightly better performance.

It seems I am not the only one. Wired has a Wired Blog entry about just that.
