If you’re in the market for a Macbook Air - I’m running a little auction at the moment here on ProBlogger to sell one that I recently won. Full details on the process and machine are here.
My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from this new and dynamic medium from blogs like Digital Photography School and TwiTip - Twitter Tips.
Back in 2002 I stumbled upon an article about ‘Blogging’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full time blogger and have blogged on over 20 blogs and co-founded the b5media blog network.

Haha you won that macbook didn’t you Darren?
I don’t like the macbook airs. They don’t have enough processing power.
Do you hate them too?

Hmmm, auctioning off a perfectly good Macbook Air that you “won”?! What does that say about your opinion of the Air? I’m with you on that by the way ;-)

You know, I may have missed it - do you have a ProBlogger store Darren? I would totally buy a ProBlogger T-shirt to work out in…. now that you don’t have that bright orange logo anymore ;)

I love the MacBook Air, but it is too expensive for what I need out of a laptop. Honestly, right now I could easily do everything off of an EEE or Acer One.

Friendly Computer Guy - actually I was very tempted to keep it but I’ve been using a Macbook Pro for the last year or two and I think my next laptop will need to have that kind of grunt as I’m using it more and more as my primary computer with video/image editing etc. The portability of the Air would be fantastic though!
Sid - we still have a t-shirt store here.

Hay problogger, I am not in the market for an AIR, but I am loving the banter here… you have a t-shirt and a book!!! Maybe it is just too early in the morning for me and this is all serious stuff… later when I actually wake up it might not seem quite so funny, so I will hit the send button now!

Hey I mentioned that on Plurk! The book idea that is. Just a coincidence or do great men think alike? Either way we were on the same page.

WoW! A Problogger sells a little computer to earn some money! Why don’t you run a contest to give it as a gift to your readers? Is this a way for bloggers to earn money? No! As we say in Greece, You act like “Giftos”(tr: Gypsy) - (Sorry Gypsies)…
You must cancel the bid and give the stuff to your readers.

I need to make the move from my memory enhanced Toshiba Equium to a Macbook Pro soon, I just can’t face the pain of buying Mac versions of all the software I run, but the day will come…I love the idea of the laptop not crashing all the time, not failing to recognize devices I attach etc etc. I also like the fact that the products of the Apple empire appear to people with an eye on good design (Product Design degree many moons ago..) I spent £400 ($800) on this laptop and use it for probably 8 hours a day - what other product costs so relatively little and is such an important part of your life?
