The MacBook Air by Apple is one of those laptops that everyone desires, mostly due to its simple 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 screen is great. Unlike most other screens with backlights, this screen consumes next to no
electricity.

The graphics of the screen are amazing; unlike the normal fuzzy, low res quality you would expect on a laptop with a small screen, the Air shines, with vibrant, bright and sharp graphics that can only be wished for on most other small laptops.

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.

As do all Apple machines, the MacBook Air runs Leopard. The only changes to the OS are to utilise the laptop’s oversized multi-touch touchpad. The Air now supports multi-finger gestures,
for example you can move three fingers across the touchpad to go backwards and forwards in the 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 an awesome piece of tech. The high pricing is the only thing that may stop you from sprinting to the store to get one of these. If $1500 is in your price range, this is the laptop for you. If $1500 simply makes you choke, maybe you should use a cheaper laptop, or look for something else.
