A Review: Should I Buy The MacBook Air?
The MacBook Air by Apple is one of those laptops that everyone desires, mostly due to its simple sexiness!
The Air is one of the sleekest laptops on the planet. As they stressed on the advertising campaigns, the laptop is thin enough to fit inside a manila envelope!
The keyboard on the MacBook Air has been very well thought out, and is a pleasure to type with. The separate buttons for keys makes typing errors near impossible, whereas on many laptops the keys are all joined and are likely to have some typing errors produced using them.
The 13-inch LED screeb surprises me. The screen is really energy efficient, unlike others on different laptops that use a backlight and therefore more power.
The efficient screen produces vibrant, high quality, bright and sharp displays, which you wouldn't expect on a screen size this small.
On the negative side, the MacBook Air is only manufactured with a glossy screen, so working outdoors with this laptop will be a bit of a problem.
Being such a small laptop, the MacBook air doesn't have space to cater for large "luxuries" such as the disc drove.
Because of this, the MacBook Air comes with small adapters, which lets you
connect with DVI, USB or your external disc drive that comes with the Air.
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.
