MacBook Air can cut your cake and eat it too

MBA CakeThe MacBook Air may not really be sharp enough to cut a loaf of French bread, but it goes through chocolate cake like butter. Or like chocolate cake, anyway. That’s according to Rahul Sood, HP’s Chief Technology Officer for Global Gaming. At his recent birthday party, Rahul took his buddy’s MacBook Air to his birthday cake, demonstrating the sleek laptop’s ability to serve delicious dessert.

Before you jump all over poor Rahul, we have his assurances that the whole thing was just a gag—no Macs were harmed. Rather, the photo was the result of “some fantastic wine, constant ribbing from my friends, and a hand rolled cigar.” Truly: given that combination of factors, who hasn’t tried something ridiculous? I myself once tried to serve ice cream with a G4 Cube. Trust me: do not attempt.

That said, MacUser’s sources tell us that a future version of the Air will feature a serrated edge, allowing you to slice through even the crustiest of loaves.
