Strengths: Really compact, lightweight, Leopard included, advanced trackpad.
Weakness: Missing a lot of ports, no optical drive, hard drive a little slow.
This is a great computer for a student, office professional, or someone who just wants something in a small package that can be transported around easily. It has a bit too small of a hard drive (and it can be sluggish), but those are some of the sacrifices you have to make if you want a really compact, portable computer for everyday use. The screen is really nice, and the keyboard is full-sized,...
Strengths: Design, Mac Leopard, LED Screen, Keyboard, tapered edges, "little things"
Weakness: no firewire, SSD options prohibitive, battery life; Superdrive needs to be made a bundle
After using Windows/DOS in its many versions for 20 years, the feeling to switch to an alternative came about on the confluence of two things: Mac Leopard and the release of Vista. After seeing what Vista was (Windows ME all over again) and what Leopard was (an intuitive Windows XP Service Pack 2), it gave me reason to finally consider a Mac system. I needed three big requirements: The Screen had...
Strengths: Weight, keyboard, screen, form factor
Weakness: USB Superdrive should be included, not a good only computer, battery life so so
I have to say that I am very pleasantly surprised by this. I received this for work as a backup laptop to my desktop and for that role it fits perfectly. I'm writing this review trying to keep cost out of the equation as much as possible. If you are looking at the price and the specs and shaking your head, this might not be the best choice. It is awful in bang for the buck. However, if you are...
Strengths: Lightweight, solidly built, full-sized backlit keyboard, gorgeous 13.3" LED display, large multi-touch touchpad
Weakness: Faster than other ultra portables, but still a bit laggy, 1 USB port, remote/ ethernet dongle/ external SuperDrive are extra
Yes, this is NOT a _cheap_ notebook. Nor should it be if you take into account the little extras that Apple throws in such as the built-in iSight, lovely aluminum casing, magnetic latch, MagSafe adapter, backlit KB, "huge" multi-touch touchpad with all new gestures, and even the chipset had to be custom-built-- minimized to fit in this super thin notebook. Some complain, "Who's so weak that...
Strengths: Form factor, weight and portability
Weakness: Price, limited ports, and fixed battery.
The Macbook is not meant for everyone. There is nothing like it on the market right NOW. This is my second Mac. It has almost everything I want in a sub notebook. It has the perfect balance of weight, screen & keyboard size, and power. Of course nothing is without flaws and it definitely has room for improvements. Here is what I wish to see in in the next revision(s). Make it Lighter (~2 lbs) SSD...
Strengths: Size, look, well integrated package
Weakness: Connectivity options, battery life, no CD/DVD
I have been an MS user for like 20 years. Vista: they should really be ashamed of themselves! Time for a new PC for couch surfing and decided I would give it a try. Glad I did. Very light, people all want to try it out when they see it. The learning curve from Windows took like an hour. People complain about Safari but I think it performs pretty well. I did download FireFox as a comparison, but...
Strengths: Dimensions, weight, visuals and style
Weakness: Security (no place for a laptop lock), not enough ports, particularly ethernet port (but a mini hub can be purchased, as well as a usb ethernet adapter), lack of cd drive
I received my MBA 2 days ago and once again Apple has made an impressive statement in the form of presentation. The packaging alone was a thing of beauty. Once I got to the actual product all I could do was smile and thank the Lord that my PowerBook G4 12-inch died a week ago. Up until that point my 12-inch was attached to my hip. Compared to the current lineup of Apple laptops, the MacBook Air...
Strengths: Weight, form factor, backlit keyboard, bright screen
Weakness: Price, remote disc, and wireless migration
If you can't live without an optical drive or ports for every device the Macbook Air isn't for you. The remote disc feature that Apple promotes works, but depending on your network it will take you quite a while to install apps such as Adobe CS3. I would highly recommend getting the optional external Superdrive. Overall, the Macbook Air seems to perform much like my former Black Macbook however...
Strengths: Great looking, ultra thin design.
Weakness: No cd/dvd drive, 1.6 Intel Core 2 Duo
Hmm, gotta give it to Apple again for making a light weight, good looking machine. Same as the I-pod, a first. Again, same as the i-pod, lacking in MAJOR functionality. No cd/dvd drive is a real killer! Battery life is pretty average but for what this doesn't have, I would expect better. Plus, that 1.6 gig Intel... boring. If you are going to spend that much money on a laptop, you might as well...
THE GOOD: Incredibly thin yet surprisingly sturdy; new trackpad gesture controls are very useful; remote optical drive makes living without a built-in drive much easier. THE BAD: Very limited connectivity; slower than other MacBooks; SSD hard-drive option is ridiculously expensive and standard hard drive is small; battery is not user replaceable. THE BOTTOM LINE: The design is revolutionary, but...

Macbook Air Review
Strengths: Light weight, thinness, design
Weakness: Price, Weak processor, Batteries
Macbook Air is not for everyone. It's a portable notebook for people who travel alot. Because of it's thinness and light weight, it's easier to carry around. However because of the reduced size and weight, there's no optical drive (CD/DVD). Also you get a weaker processor then both Macbook and Macbook Pro. It also only has 1 USB port and no Firewire port. So if you are a mac notebook user who...
