Apple's MacBook Air is one of the most desired laptops on the market, partly
due to it's, well.... sexiness!
The Air is one of the sleekest laptops on the planet. As they stressed on the advertising campaigns, the laptop is thin enough to fit inside a manila envelope!
The MacBook Air's keyboard is something that was well designed by Apple. It's great to type with.
The separate buttons for keys make making typing mistakes next to impossible, unlike standard keyboards
which have joined buttons, which leads to sliding of fingers etc.
The 13-inch LED screeb surprises me. The screen is really energy efficient, unlike others on different laptops that use a backlight and therefore more power.
Despite it's power economic screen, the screen graphics are vibrant, bright, high quality and sharp!
On the negative side, the MacBook Air is only manufactured with a glossy screen, so working outdoors with this laptop will be a bit of a problem.
Being extremely small, the Air doesn't have sufficient space to hold larger components such as a disc drive, or even a full-sized USB port. To overcome this, there is an adapter that will fit to a full-sized USB port and a sleek external disc drive that sits nicely beside the laptop when you need it.
Like all Apple computers, the Air runs the Leopard operating system. The only changes that have been made to it are to make better use of the touch pad on the laptop. The MacBook Air supports multi-touch hand generations to perform certain actions,
such as a three-finger swipe to go forwards or backwards in the default internet browser, Safari.
Of course, the Air's OS is just like all other MacBooks; beautiful and functional. It's a pleasure to use.
The Air is a brilliant piece of tech. The only problem is the high pricing on this laptop. If $1500 is your price range, this is the laptop for you. If that price made you jump in your seat, maybe this laptop is not for you.
