Geek In Me

Now, we know that the MacBook Air is one thin laptop, but some Apple forum members in Germany are claiming that the edge of the laptop is not only sharp — but downright dangerous. According to “Apple Talk” reader Bajuware, his MBA went kill-crazy all over his elbow while he was cold-chillin’ on his couch. The details are a little hard to suss out due to the language barrier (and machine translation), but it would appear the Air’s bottom edge made nasty work of the human flesh like someone had insulted its mother. Another MBA owner claims his computer is sharp enough to slice bread, though we assume it’s not used for buttering. Honestly, we’re not sure what kind of danger an innocent MacBook Air could really pose besides causing you to throw out your back constantly plugging in the AC to charge that not-quite-as-advertised battery.
