Apple MacBook Air (80GB) review
Incredibly thin yet surprisingly sturdy ; new trackpad gesture controls are very useful ; remote optical drive makes living without a built-in drive much easier
Very limited connectivity ; slower than other MacBooks ; SSD hard-drive option is ridiculously expensive and standard hard drive is small ; battery is not user replaceable
The design is revolutionary, but Apple's MacBook Air will appeal to a smaller, more specialized audience than the standard MacBook, thanks to a stripped-down set of connections and features.

Review: MacBook Air (Mid 2009)
If light weight and small size are you top considerations, the MacBook Air is the laptop for you. The new models aren't much faster than their predecessors-in fact, the high-end system is slower than the previous model-but they're cheaper.
Weighs three pounds ; thin ; full-size keyboard ; bright 13-inch display
Slower than all other Apple laptops ; single USB port limits connectivity
It's also Apple's thinnest, lightest laptop. And I still love it

Manufacturer's Description
MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else. But you don't lose inches and pounds overnight. It's the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard. MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi...
