A Review: Should I Buy The MacBook Air?

Apple’s MacBook Air is one of those things that’s on everyone’s wish lists at the moment. It’s simply sexy!

The MacBook Air probably has the slickest design of any laptop on the planet. As highlighted on the advertising campaigns, this laptop is thin enough to fit in a manila envelope!

The Air’s keyboard is better than any other keyboard I’ve ever seen on a laptop. The separate keys make making
typing errors very much unlikely. On most other laptops, the keys aren’t separated and so a simple sliding of the finger can lead to a mistake. That’s what I love about this laptop.

The 13 inch LED screen is great. Unlike most other screens with backlights, this screen consumes next to no
electricity.

Despite it’s power economic screen, the screen graphics are vibrant, bright, high quality and sharp!

Unfortunately, Apple only offers the screen with a glossy finish, so be prepared for impaired view when using this laptop outside.

Since it’s very small, the MacBook Air doesn’t have enough room to hold larger components such as the disc drive. To overcome this problem, Apple have provided a sleek external disc drive that simply plugs into the USB port on the side.

As do all Apple computers, the Air runs the Leopard operating system. However, there have been some changes to the OS to cater for
the Air’s new and huge multi-touch touchpad. The Air’s OS supports multi-touch hand gestures to perform certain actions now, such as a three-finger
swipe along the touchpad to go forwards or backwards on the Air’s default internet browser, Safari.

All in all, the Air’s OS is just like it is on all Apple products; beautiful, functional and very easy 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.
