OK, I'm Converted!

 

I have been an MS user for like 20 years. Vista: they should really be ashamed of themselves! Time for a new PC for couch surfing and decided I would give it a try. Glad I did. Very light, people all want to try it out when they see it. The learning...

Size, look, well integrated package

Connectivity options, battery life, no CD/DVD

Amazing Apple Laptop

 

Again, I am blown away by another apple product. This is one of the coolest laptops to hold in your hand. It's amazing how much a few pounds off the weight and the slimness of design makes such a big difference. I was a little disappointed by the...

Size, Weight, Look and coolness factor

underpowered, only 1 usb port

Consumer review by:

Cool Idea if you buy a computer on looks!

 

Hmm, gotta give it to Apple again for making a light weight, good looking machine. Same as the I-pod, a first. Again, same as the i-pod, lacking in MAJOR functionality. No cd/dvd drive is a real killer! Battery life is pretty average but for what this...

Great looking, ultra thin design.

No cd/dvd drive, 1.6 Intel Core 2 Duo

A Thing of Joy and Beauty

 

I received my MBA 2 days ago and once again Apple has made an impressive statement in the form of presentation. The packaging alone was a thing of beauty. Once I got to the actual product all I could do was smile and thank the Lord that my PowerBook G4...

Dimensions, weight, visuals and style

Security (no place for a laptop lock), not enough ports, particularly ethernet port (but a mini hub can be purchased, as well as a usb ethernet adapter), lack of cd drive

Consumer review by:

Feels even lighter than the 3lbs suggest!

 

Yes, this is NOT a _cheap_ notebook. Nor should it be if you take into account the little extras that Apple throws in such as the built-in iSight, lovely aluminum casing, magnetic latch, MagSafe adapter, backlit KB, "huge" multi-touch touchpad with all...

Lightweight, solidly built, full-sized backlit keyboard, gorgeous 13.3" LED display, large multi-touch touchpad

Faster than other ultra portables, but still a bit laggy, 1 USB port, remote/ ethernet dongle/ external SuperDrive are extra

Consumer review by:

Simply Amazing!!

 

The Macbook is not meant for everyone. There is nothing like it on the market right NOW. This is my second Mac. It has almost everything I want in a sub notebook. It has the perfect balance of weight, screen & keyboard size, and power. Of course...

Form factor, weight and portability

Price, limited ports, and fixed battery.

Consumer review by:

Even thinner and lighter than you think!

 

If you can't live without an optical drive or ports for every device the Macbook Air isn't for you. The remote disc feature that Apple promotes works, but depending on your network it will take you quite a while to install apps such as Adobe CS3. I...

Weight, form factor, backlit keyboard, bright screen

Price, remote disc, and wireless migration

A Surprisingly Solid Notebook

 

I have to say that I am very pleasantly surprised by this. I received this for work as a backup laptop to my desktop and for that role it fits perfectly. I'm writing this review trying to keep cost out of the equation as much as possible. If you are...

Weight, keyboard, screen, form factor

USB Superdrive should be included, not a good only computer, battery life so so

Consumer review by:

Macbook Air Review

 

Macbook Air is not for everyone. It's a portable notebook for people who travel alot. Because of it's thinness and light weight, it's easier to carry around. However because of the reduced size and weight, there's no optical drive (CD/DVD). Also you...

Light weight, thinness, design

Price, Weak processor, Batteries

Focused Efficiency With Swankiness

 

After using Windows/DOS in its many versions for 20 years, the feeling to switch to an alternative came about on the confluence of two things: Mac Leopard and the release of Vista. After seeing what Vista was (Windows ME all over again) and what...

Design, Mac Leopard, LED Screen, Keyboard, tapered edges, "little things

no firewire, SSD options prohibitive, battery life ; Superdrive needs to be made a bundle
