Apple MacBook Air/1.6GHz

 

The MacBook Air is a super-slim ultraportable laptop computer that you can slip into very thin spaces. Like anything else that Apple crafts, the Air's industrial design is phenomenal. But its beauty is little more than skin deep.

Greatly improved graphics power ; Sleek, sexy, spartan design ; Full-size keyboard ; Fantastic keyboard ; Weighs three pounds ; Bright display

Single USB port ; So slim, there's little room for inputs ; Poor battery life ; No video adapters in box ; Slower than much more affordable Apple laptops ; Unswappable battery

The Air's looks can't be denied. Its performance and expandability are whole other matters, though.

beautiful to see and touch, broke immediately, no apple support

This laptop broke after just a few uses. Being the first time to choose a mac air, I was needless to say, very disappointed. Apple support, which I fortunately never needed to use for my ipod, was not the least bit helpful. I would recommend a...
