 Laptop bliss... August 12, 2009

Wow. I can honestly say this is the best laptop I've owned. I thought long and hard before buying it (for my business) looking at Netbooks, the Air, lighter Windows laptops and even the MacBook Pro. The final choice was always going to be a second laptop that needed to be lightweight, yet high quality. I finally took the plunge a few weeks ago and went with my gut instinct for the top of the range Air.
So what it's like? Well, the spec might not be as good as the Pro range but for presentations and browsing the web it's perfect and fast enough for my tasks (and puts my Compaq laptop to shame when it comes to browsing). Visually it's stunning and there's no faulting Apple for the build quality. The aluminium casing looks good and despite the thinness, it feels sturdy. The wireless set-up works perfectly and is quick and reliable especially when visiting client's offices locating their networks with ease. It runs Office and opens docs created on the PC with no formatting issues, etc. I've also got iWork and am fast becoming a fan of Keynote which puts PowerPoint to shame.
The price is high but so far, worth every single penny. The one minor gripe is the lack of USB ports but that's a very, very minor thing compared to all the positives. As the title states, for me this is a superb bit of kit that delivers lightweight, high quality computing on the move. My shoulders also appreciate the lightness when I'm commuting to and from meetings! Brilliant.

I love the solid state drive on this machine. Everything is so fast. Make sure you buy Apple Care - it's worth it.
Be careful when using it in public. It is attractive to theives and muggers.

I recently bought the MacBook Air as my first Mac, having previously had a number of windows laptops and a netbook.
The design is spectacular and the build quality absolutely first class. The screen is very bright with excellent colours. I haven't really taxed the machine too much yet, but it starts up / shuts down quickly and applications (like Office 2008 for Mac) seem to open and run quickly.
I have a standalone DVD (USB) drive for the netbook which works fine with the Mac.
I can also live with the one USB port, although 2 as on my Dell Lattitude E4300 ultraportable would have been nice.
My main concern is the size of the solid state drive - with this being a personal machine rather than a work's networked one.
First impressions really positive though and may well be a convert to Mac rather than Windows.
Certainly a design icon.
And having now used the Macbook Air for 3 months, am a complete convert to the Mac, so much so that the PCs never get switched on. The machine starts up and shuts down so quickly, no more virus protection software or continual security update patches - it just works. You'll save the money it costs in no time with the amount of your life you get back through no longer having to wait for your PC.
