Martha Stewart Gets a MacBook Air

Martha Stewart Gets a MacBook Air
Martha Stewart - home maker, business woman, convicted criminal, and apparently part-time Apple PR rep. The queen of domesticity got her cupcake making mitts on a shiny new MacBook Air and blogged about her new gadget du jour. But rather than reading like a person simply in love with their new toy, Stewart's blog comes off more like a press release:

"I was amazed by how razor thin and how light it is – just .76 of an inch and only 3 pounds. It has a full-size illuminated keyboard, which is terrific for working in a dimly lit car or on an airplane. And I really love the trackpad, which works in much the same way as the Apple iPhone, giving you many more options by simply moving your fingers... It's a little difficult to photograph just how thin this MacBook Air is, but you can see for yourself by stopping at an Apple store or checking it out on line at www.apple.com."

Did Martha Stewart just encourage us to go the Apple store to check out the MacBook Air?

We're not sure how much Mr. Jobs is paying Stewart, but it obviously isn't enough.

Stewart also reveals that she still uses an HP laptop for her Windows-only tasks, which led some of her geekier readers to school her about running Windows apps using Parallels on her Mac. Stewart says she isn't quite ready to leave Windows behind completely, but it still looks like Apple has another high profile convert on its hands.
