Earth, Air, Fire, Water

The new MacBook Air makes me think that my "plain old" MacBook is probably a MacBook Earth, which would make the MacBook Pro the MacBook Fire. Although MacBook Fire has a certain negative connotation, batteries and all, I'm going for the speed and power connotation instead. That leaves us without a real entrant for the "MacBook Water" position. What this clearly ought to be is a ruggedized, use-it-outdoors MacBook. Waterproof (to some extent), usable in direct sunlight, power-stingy, able to withstand being dropped, etc. Sort of a Mac version of the OLPC.

Just imagine what Apple advertising would make of the quartet:

• MacBook Earth
  
• MacBook Air
  
• MacBook Fire
  
• MacBook Water
