A Review: Should I Buy The MacBook Air?

by Claire Greenway

Apple’s MacBook Air is one of the most desired laptops on the market, partly
due to it’s, well…. sexiness!

The MacBook Air is one of the slimmest laptop on the planet. As made clear on their huge advertising campaign,
this laptop will 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 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.

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

Being extremely small, the Air doesn’t have sufficient space to hold larger components such as a disc drive, or even a full-sized USB port. To overcome this, there is an adapter that will fit to a full-sized USB port and a sleek external disc drive that sits nicely beside the laptop when you need it.

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.

Of course, the Air’s OS is just like all other MacBooks; beautiful and functional. It’s a pleasure 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.
