For example, the mouse with scroll - sure, it looks monolitic and cool, but it ain't as comfortable to hold as my logitech mouse + scroll wheel is a pain in the backside to use. And while on the mouse topic, does anyone remember the round G3 mouse? Moving on, the iMac (the version before the current aluminium one. Sure, i can get used to power switch on the backside, but the usb ports on the back!? no thank you. And before you point me to the keyboard USB ports, they're nice and all, but try putting a usb stick in them - not enough voltage? too bad. So, someone will finally point me to a USB hub - but if i'm a mac user, i hate additional cables! And i hope the macbook air has more than one usb port(i haven't seen more than one) - sometimes all 4 usb ports on my laptops are occupied, so i find highly unpractical being limited to only one. |
I'll definitely agree that Apple doesn't have the best track record with mice.
I've used flash drives with my ancient eMac keyboard countless times. I assume they also work with the newer models.
The MacBook air is designed for people constantly on the go that are highly dependent on wireless internet and don't mind sacrificing power for portability- if someone wants a get a mac laptop and use 4 USB ports at once, they would probably get a MacBook Pro.
