Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
MacBook Air Notebook is ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else. But you don't lose inches and pounds overnight. It's the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard. What makes the Air so thin? MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. Its incomparably portable without the usual ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises. The incredible thinness of MacBook Air is the result of numerous size- and weight-shaving innovations. From a slimmer hard drive to strategically hidden I/O ports to a lower-profile battery, everything has been considered and reconsidered with thinness in mind.

5 out of 5 stars Want the latest MacBook? Here's how to get it for a fiver   December 1, 2008
Louise
Christmas is coming so save your cash! Why purchase something you can get for a fiver.

Go to YourLaptop.co.cc and sign up. Complete ONE offer - I would recommend Gala Bingo (you know, the one Sharon Osborne advertises for on tv),as this is cheap and fun (and you might win some money in the process!)

If you really don't want to spend, there is a free Lovefilm trial.

All companies are well known so there is no risk involved- give it a go! I got my Laptop and many other things this way, so don't miss out.

I was a sceptic once but now I am SO glad I gave it a chance. B8C approved this system on their Newsnight programme a while back.

Many items to choose from and they send your gift Free of charge.

5 out of 5 stars So gorgeous   June 26, 2008
MM Turner (Birmingham, England)
I love this machine! When it arrived it was even smaller than I remembered it in the shop. Plug it into a 21" widescreen monitor and add the bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mighty mouse, and it makes an excellent desktop machine. Quickly whip it off the desk and stick it in the bag, and it's the most beautiful sub-notebook I've ever seen.

We run a suite of five Macs, and bought this one for someone who needs to run Parallels Desktop + Windows for total connectivity with the IIS network, but also needs to be able to access QuarkXpress and Adobe applications transparently in the same way the Macs use them.

We made our buying decision based on our own business requirements, which are naturally different from everyone else's. What thrills me is that this machine is perfect for requirements, but is also so gorgeous!



3 out of 5 stars consider an ultraportable alternative   June 18, 2008

I know the hardcore Mac fans love this machine, and I'm not saying it's bad by any means. However, for those not absolutely wedded to the Mac OS, and willing to consider Windows, a great alternative for the same price range is the Toshiba Portege R500. I've had the predecessor model (R100) for a while, and am planning to upgrade to the R500 asap. It's advantages over the Air:

* Ultra-thin and LIGHTER than the air - only 998 grams!
* Has a built-in (removable) DVD R/W drive - something people have been complining about on the Air
* Has good general specs (memory, HDD, WiLAN, ports, etc)
* Comes with either SATA or SSD drives - depends on whether high capacity or low power/mobile robustness is your priority

My R100 (lower spec that the new one) is a fabulous machine - built to the kinds of standards one would expect of Toshiba; has great battery life - also has optional extra batter that clips on the bottom of the unit, and gives up to 8 hours use! I use my machine a fair but while travelling, and it's perfect - size, weight, performance and reliability. I hope Tosh carry on producing this range for years to come - I'll never bother with anything else!

So, before plunging for the Air, why not consider an alternative?!



5 out of 5 stars Brill! But a mistress not the master when it comes to Apple laptops   May 25, 2008
Siriam (London United Kingdom)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I have been a user of Apple for over 18 months having lost my cool with the endless crashes and poor launch of Vista proving to me Gates & Co were losing it. I started with the Mini Mac, buying a Mac Book and an i Mac in the short period afterwards and I cannot get my kids off them now at home!

All that kept me going with a Windows system was I needed an ultra-portable laptop given my travel by air a lot and the Sony Vaio I had was fine for this purpose. With the launch of the Air I at last had the missing piece.

After 6 weeks using with the 1.8 Ghz upgrade, I am very satisfied and suspect I will never be going back to Windows based laptops. I do not propose to repeat others comments on its features but would comment on a few aspects that any buyer should consider:

1. The item as with all Apple models is beautifully designed. Be prepared to invest in a safety sleeve for travel and avoid scratching the aluminum cover - I found the Huzzk range the best for the job with their "open up and zip around" and rubber stud design cover design perfect for this model.

2. The case being aluminum does get heated especially when resting on top of your knees! Another reason for buying a travel sleeve and investing in one which is thick enough to help on this point - again a reason why the Huzzk range was my choice.

3. The comments on battery replacement are lacking in understanding that when traveling a lot the key is being able to carry and insert a spare battery. However technology moves on and I have offset this problem by investing in the portable Power Monkey kit which is both small and light plus provides several hours power if a mains supply is not available.

4. On battery life the personal experience and many of the Apple magazine reviews are now also stating the same point, that the Apple batteries seem to take some time to build up to their maximum life/charge, so expect only just over a few hours in early days of portable usage. Whether it makes the 5 hours target remains to be seen but again the Power Monkey option addresses if needed.

5. However much people rave about the looks and the great Leopard OS, be prepared to accept this is an ultra portable and so speed, performance and storage will not be as great as larger Macs (including the Mac Books at cheaper prices) - that is not a criticism just the reality. The beautiful screen and excellent size and feel keyboard however leave all other ultra portables (including Sony Vaio range) in the shade.

Overall I am thus very satisfied and would strongly recommend this model long as you are happy with the above compromises - I just wish Apple in their publicity and claims would accept that in terms of comparability it cannot match the rest of their laptop range but as an ultra portable it is KIng versus the competition (hence my "mistress" title to this review!
