Apple MacBook Air MB003LL/A

Customer Reviews:

Better to wait for 2nd generation. It must come out soon. [Posted on 2008-04-30]
2nd generation MBA with 45nm Penryn will solve current problems such as storage, interface connector, blackout problem, while most of the beauty of it will remain the same. I need to emphasize that I LOVE MBA design. First, 80GB is so small that you will see more than 1/2 of 80GB is required by OS, VM and major applications. Performance is getting even slower due to its storage bottleneck. At least two USBs and Ethernet are must. It is sacrificing flexibility so much to reduce its size and weight but I do not feel it does not have a fair balance for regular users. I still encounter occasional blackout and freeze problem when I leave it for a few hours, which has not been solved even through Apple's technical support.
I definitely think next one will be much better and Apple knows how we feel about MBA. I believe they could respond to what we feel very soon.

MBAir has changed the way I work [Posted on 2008-06-09]
I purchased the this laptop because I wanted a super-portable computer with full functionality. I used to leave my old laptop at home because I didn't want to carry its 6 pounds around with me all day just because I *might* use it. Now I take the MBA with me everywhere and work when and where I want. (I'm a graduate student and I walk a lot.) I'm super impressed with the intuitive interface and the overall beauty of the machine - but note this is my first apple. I am not concerned with what some people say are the limitations of this machine because I use it mainly for writing, reading documents and the internet. The processing speed and HD space are very satisfactory for my needs.

Note: I applied the Zagg invisible shield to the top and bottom of the laptop, because the aluminum is quite sensitive to scratches.

Completely Amazing! [Posted on 2008-06-19]
I cannot begin to describe how much I love this laptop! I won't provide a technical review as I am sure other reviewers are much more competent to do so. I purchased this laptop for work and graduate school as soon as they came out. I first switched to Apple about 3 years ago, and since that time I have owned a PowerBook G4 12" which I traded up for the MacBook Pro 15" and decided it was too big (can you tell I want something small?). So, when the MacBook Air came out, I gave my husband my Pro and purchased this. I couldn't be more satisfied with it. It is fast, well-constructed and lightweight with a beautiful, clear screen, all of which are essentials for my computer happiness! The touchpad is awesome...I find myself wishing that my iMac mouse had a similar feature. I do not find the lack of an optical drive problematic; I purchased the $99 external drive and, as I said, also have an iMac, so program installation, CD uploading, etc., is not a problem for me. The external drive is also small enough that you can pack it up in your case and bring it with you if need be. The battery life is fantastic: I can take class notes for 3 hours straight and still have plenty of juice for another hour or two of use...if I had to estimate battery time, I'd say it consistently gives me 4 1/2 to 5 hours of use. I do not do a lot of video editing or gaming, etc., but I do use this for way more than email, including tons of writing, business uses, and web design. It isn't the task master that the Pro's are, but it's convenience makes up for any shortcomings. So, it basically comes down to what works for you, and because my primary computer is an iMac, the portability, speed, and ease of use of the MacBook Air is a great choice.

Best laptop ever [Posted on 2008-06-20]
Its actually better than the best laptop ever. This is one of the greatest pieces of electronics ever created.
Wish there was more hard drive memory, but if you store files online you dont really need all that much hard drive space.
I also wish the battery life was better.
But other than those two things its a must have.
