    I have owned a Revision C Air for a couple of months now. The reason for this review is to update a few points , that make the Air a more attractive prospect...

    - Since launch, the Macbook Air has had its specifications upgraded (faster CPU, bigger disks) and has attracted a price drop at the same time. It is still not exactly fabulous value for money, but isn't meant to be bought with an eye on economy.
    - Earlier models suffered from overheating issues, due to poorly applied internal thermal compound. This has largely been fixed in latest models.
    - There are now a number of tweaks, plugins and free bits of software around that can make your Air run better, cooler, and help things like battery life.

    And some points I note after extended use:
    The Air feels solid, as it is made from aluminium and not plastic.
    Battery life is usually between 3 and 4 hours. It can be helped by lowering the screen brightness.
    Backlit keyboard is awesome.
    The "features" of automatically varying the screen and keyboard brightness according to the ambient room brightness are really irritating.
    Speed-wise, its perfectly capable for regular tasks, but its not a gaming machine.
    The form factor, thinness and lightness are just great. It really is super-portable.
    It comes with a USBEthernet adapter if you have no WIFI. Because of this, if you want an external mouse then a Bluetooth one is more convenient.

    And finally...
    Yes, the Air has only one USB port, one headphone sockt and one port for connecting an external display. Plus, it has no optical drive.
    This is by design - if you don't like these omissions then don't buy one - simple!

    I'm reviewing this laptop, not as an owner but as a validation of the Macbook Air as an work of art and a fashion accessory. A friend was rooting through a bag, similar to a laptop bag, but full or books and files, or so I thought, until out slide a Macbook Air that was nestled between a folder and book. My first impressions, wow!! The reason for it's introduction to the evening, was too look at a few video's and photo's, and it looked very classy while he was doing it! Lovely images, very quick ...

    Battery life is a little poorer than expected for me however as far as I am concerned this is the only bad point to mention about the Apple Mac book air.

    Stylish and powerful enough to run some rather large programmes, often 2 to 3 open programmes at the same time however well recommend this apple laptop.

    With Apple you get the best of everything, however in this case I think they have compromised by not having a DVD player which is a bad point in my opinion.

    Still a great laptop, Light and powerful. Well recommend Apple MacBook Air.

    This is an exceptionally expensive fashion statement but judging from the success of Apple's other over-priced fashion statements (iPhone and iPods) this may be a success.

    It has a weak processor (1.6 in the cheaper model 1.8 in the top model) at the heart of it's inferior components. The screen isn't x-black or HD giving inferior picture quality to other laptops that are far cheaper. There is no internal disc drive so you have to carry an external drive with you to read media.

    With the better ...

    From my experience the Mac Air, for all its hype, is a great idea with a flawed execution.

    In all fairness, I did borrow a new model from an acquaintance and had it just a half day, but during that short period of time I noticed the following shortcomings:

    'The power connection is the usual Apple Mag-Safe attachment, but it goes in at an odd angle making it difficult to sit the computer on a flat surface. I had to fidget with it to stop the rocking. Push it too much one way and the attachme ...

    Right, I conclude, that the Apple MacBook Air is impressive, very impressive infact, it really is the latest piece of engineering that will create a lot of hype in the market, no doubt!Second of all, it beats it competitors, which ofcourse means it's the best, right? When the price drops, in my opinion it will be treated as the best too, I think everyone will want one to impress others as it makes other laptops look ugly, useless and fat.However, as far as I am concerned, so what? Not long after ...
