Manufacturer's Description
MacBook Air 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.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. It's 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.MacBook Air performance is as impressive as its form, thanks to its Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This chip was custom-built to fit within the compact dimensions of MacBook Air.

Customer Reviews

Laptop bliss...
Wow. I can honestly say this is the best laptop I've owned. I thought long and hard before buying it (for my business) looking at Netbooks, the Air, lighter Windows laptops and even the MacBook Pro. The final choice was always going to be a second laptop that needed to be lightweight, yet high quality. I finally took the plunge a few weeks ago and went with my gut instinct for the top of the range Air.

So what it's like? Well, the spec might not be as good as the Pro range but for presentations and browsing the web it's perfect and fast enough for my tasks (and puts my Compaq laptop to shame when it comes to browsing). Visually it's stunning and there's no faulting Apple for the build quality. The aluminium casing looks good and despite the thinness, it feels sturdy. The wireless set-up works perfectly and is quick and reliable especially when visiting client's offices locating their networks with ease. It runs Office and opens docs created on the PC with no formatting issues, etc. I've also got iWork and am fast becoming a fan of Keynote which puts PowerPoint to shame.

The price is high but so far, worth every single penny. The one minor gripe is the lack of USB ports but that's a very, very minor thing compared to all the positives. As the title states, for me this is a superb bit of kit that delivers lightweight, high quality computing on the move. My shoulders also appreciate the lightness when I'm commuting to and from meetings! Brilliant.

Fantastic ultraportable laptop
I recently bought the MacBook Air as my first Mac, having previously had a number of windows laptops and a netbook.
The design is spectacular and the build quality absolutely first class. The screen is very bright with excellent colours. I haven't really taxed the machine too much yet, but it starts up / shuts down quickly and applications (like Office 2008 for Mac) seem to open and run quickly.
I have a standalone DVD (USB) drive for the netbook which works fine with the Mac.
I can also live with the one USB port, although 2 as on my Dell Lattitude E4300 ultraportable would have been nice.
My main concern is the size of the solid state drive - with this being a personal machine rather than a work's networked one.
First impressions really positive though and may well be a convert to Mac rather than Windows.
Certainly a design icon.
