  • "This is an amazing laptop for everyday use."
    on by tangledphish

    Pros 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.

  • "Overall amazing product! Light and powerful!"
    on by phillyry

    Pros The MacBook Air is lightweigh, easy to carry, and super capable. It gets great battery life and you can take it anywhere. It has the benefits of the iPad and the MacBook Pro without the iPads limitations or the Pro's bulk.

    Cons Increasing hard drive capacity is expensive. Low-voltage CPU is not as powerful as its big brothers'. RAM is not upgradable.

    Summary This thing is truly amazing. You'll to be happy with this purchase.

    Not as revolutionary as the iPad but more powerful.

    And it's like they say, "Once you go Mac, you never go back."

    Pros Battery life Good

    Cons Small hard drive

    Summary So far, I'm impressed. I'll update my review if something changes.

  • "Continues to be an outstanding very portable notebook!"
    on by gregorysreid

    Pros o Same old MacBook Air on the outside. Which is great.
    o Outstanding speed

    Cons o Same old MacBook Air on the outside. Which is boring.
    o Costly but worth it.

    Summary I had a MBAir (Fall 2010) for the past two years. My only complaint was that it was slow when running a virtual windows environment due to a max of 4 GB of RAM and the slow processor.

    Just purchased a new MBAir with all the goodies (i.e. 8 GB RAM, 2 GHz processor and 512 GB SSD). The speed is outstanding. End of story. It works just like my old MBAir but much faster.

    My only comment is that the external design is a bit 'old' but it works and it works great. (It looks exactly the same as my old MBAir) However, as a business owner, reliability is a much higher priority than sexy designs.

    If you like your old MBAir and want faster with more storage, this Mac is a good bet.

    Of course, you have to pay the $10 fee for each of the converters for your old MBAir power adaptors. LOL. That's for your convenience. Thanks Apple!
