Hey Guys,
We just got the new macbook airs in at work, can check them out here - Apple - MacBook Air - The next generation of MacBooks.
The Specs may seem to look like a disappointment, Like only a 1.4Ghz C2D with the 11" MBA, As it has the flash drive, its bloody quick, It takes about 15 seconds to boot, much quicker then any macbook pro that has a standard 7200 2.5" drive. Its so nice and light to carry around, and green screen rez, almost the same as the old 15" Macbook pros, small screen but can still fit alot on the screen. for the price i like it.
The cons though, Has no backlit keyboard, so on a plane with the lights out, your going to have troubles seeing the KB, The microphone is on the side, so if you carrying it around and talking to some one, not going to hear you as your hand covers it. Also does not have a light sensor so the screen brightness does not self adjust to light.
Besides those minor things, its a great quick little machine, iv tried the small PCs in the same market and they are just dog **** slow.
and dont say oh it does not have a optical drive, i cant even remember the last time i used my drive on my macbookpro, its a almost dead technology to a lot of people, its all blueray FTW lol
Anyway thats my little report on it. any questions just ask
