"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

"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. -
"This is an amazing laptop for everyday use."
on by tangledphishPros Sleek design;
Battery life is pretty good compared to other laptops out there;
The OS is simply amazing, I'd never go back;
Handles tasks from browsing to light ganes surprisingly well.Cons I stumbled apon a problem after about 1 hour of use: the dock was using 95% of the cpu and the laptop was seriously heating up. I closed the program and it went back to normal.
Seriously overpriced, but still worth it: base 13" starts at 1199$.Summary Overall, this is simply a wonderful laptop, although the price is pretty high for an everyday notebook. This said, it is still completely worth it to buy this laptop if you have the money. It does compare to the base 13" MacBook Pro and if you want portability over ports, this is the way to go.
