"Great laptop, but taking price into account..."
on by il2117Pros These are obvious
- light
- easy to carry
- sleek and simpleCons First one is obvious
- way overpriced
- overheatsSummary This is great engineering. It generally works great and is ultra-portable. However, I would never buy it for myself, as this one was a gift. The price is just not justifiable, and the rating I gave it takes that into account, since price is important to me (but may not be for others).
One minor problem is that it overheats somewhat easily (opening lots of tabs. or just opening itunes, another app, and watching a video). -
"Stay away - crappy hardware"
on by niceguy1111Pros Looks cool and is fast until it breaks...
Cons My machine is just a bit more than one year old and I have to replace the Logic Board that will cost me $400! This hardware is very poor.
Summary Don't buy this junk... or if you do, better get the warranty.

"This is a great laptop without a doubt"
on by LewisKuzamPros It is super fast and looks great - also feels awesome to use. Also continues Apple's easy to use theme.
Cons the lack of disk drive is highly annoying, and when your spending this much on a laptop you'd expect this most basic of features
Summary It looks and feels great, however compare it to the latest macbook pro then for the same price you get the same features and great looks but also a disk drive - it seems a no brainer to me

on by RevoltaKidPros Design, low weight and slim
Mac OS Mountain Lion with its best UI
PerformanceCons Price and initially I got it with an un-functional trackpad which had to be replaced (after 2 weeks!!)
Sometimes overheats easilySummary Great piece of Tech :)

"Ivy Bridge appears to be the real deal"
on by BillcameronPros Battery life
Performance (solid state drive plus Ivy Bridge = success)
"Sexy" factorCons Small hard drive
Summary I picked up the base Macbook Air yesterday. I also have last year's MBPro and 2009 MB. I wasn't too impressed with the battery life on prior Air models. The Ivy Bridge processor appears to be worth the wait. Battery life is improved, internet is sooo fast and, most importantly, I have not seen the spinning rainbow yet! Seriously, does it still exist?!? Or is this cpu just what we've all been waiting for? A computer that seamlessly performs several tasks at once?
So far, I'm impressed. I'll update my review if something changes.
