Genuine question.
I know they were the scrappy startup doing different cool things. But, what are the most major innovative things that they introduced, improved or just implemented that either revolutionized, improved or spurred change?
I am aware of the possibility of both fanboys and haters just duking it out below. But there’s always that one guy who has a fkn well-formatted paragraph of gold. I await that guy.
It’s crazy to think that the original MacBook Air had a spinning hdd, which was 1.8".
It came from the iPods at the time.
It’s crazy to think that the portable, pocket really, music player had HDD.
The Nokia N91 from 2006 also had an HDD. I assume it was the same Toshiba one that Apple used in the iPod Minis.
Every now and then I remember this, and ponder the feasibility of flash-modding a 1st gen Air with an iPod’s mod kit. Just casually rock 1tb of flash storage in that bad boy.
But they’re still too pricey to be a fuck about project, and beyond that they kinda suck.
