Apple MacBook Air user reviews (11-inch, Summer 2012)

Pros Computer runs smoothly, quietly and rarely gets warm. The size is compact without becoming cramped. Many features are adjustable--even the brightness of the keyboard backlight. And typing is an absolutely breeze.

Cons A smaller or less apparent bezel would be appreciated, though this does not detract from the experience and can just be personal preference. The fact that my only complaint is about the bezel should show you how content I really am, frankly.

Summary Honestly, it has been difficult to put this computer down. Years ago my mother owned a MacBook Pro that I used on occasion. To my great pleasure, so much has been added, tweaked and otherwise improved during my hiatus from Apple products that it seems as though every time I open this laptop I learn of some great new function or stride toward intuitive computer use. The experience is fun, vibrant and... currently explorative. For those of you who are searching for a light, portable computer for tasks that aren't too technically demanding, I highly recommend this computer. It is likely not optimal for any sort of gaming or film editing experience due to its relatively small screen, though chances are you don't need me to tell you that.

If you are a student or simply a person in need or a laptop fit for travel, then this is certainly what you are looking for.
