Good PC, but portability is a question b/c of no optical drive

This laptop is a bit pricey, compared to laptop PCs, but it is comparably priced to the Mac Book Pro. The issue with this laptop is that it doesn't have a DVD drive, which questions its claim of being "portable." The laptop itself is about 0.76 inches thick, but if it included a DVD drive, it probably would have been 2-3 inches, which is about the same thickness as any other laptop! So, really, the only accomplishment in my opinion is removing the DVD drive!

I guess I don't see what makes the Air so much better than the Mac Book Pro, but I guess it's just a matter of perspective. I suppose some people "only" use the DVD drive to install programs and watch DVD movies, in which case portability might be more of an issue.

I didn't buy a Mac Air; I went with the Pro. Like I said, though, it's just a matter of perspective.

The best MacBook ever!

I read a lot of reviews on the Web complaining about MacBook Air single USB port, lack of built-in Ethernet port, external SuperDrive, etc. as major issues... Come on! This is an ultra portable, thin and light notebook, without compromising screen and keyboard sizes, plus amazing screen and multitouch technologies... If you love breakthrough products, buy yours today! :D

Better to wait for 2nd generation. It must come out soon.

2nd generation MBA with 45nm Penryn will solve current problems such as storage, interface connector, blackout problem, while most of the beauty of it will remain the same. I need to emphasize that I LOVE MBA design. First, 80GB is so small that you will see more than 1/2 of 80GB is required by OS, VM and major applications. Performance is getting even slower due to its storage bottleneck. At least two USBs and Ethernet are must. It is sacrificing flexibility so much to reduce its size and weight but I do not feel it does not have a fair balance for regular users. I still encounter occasional blackout and freeze problem when I leave it for a few hours, which has not been solved even through Apple's technical support.
I definitely think next one will be much better and Apple knows how we feel about MBA. I believe they could respond to what we feel very soon.

My perfect second computer

This is my backup and travel computer at my MacPro would not really travel well.
First things first, this is probably not he computer you should be using as a primary computer, but as a second computer is excels.
I like the fact that I can fit it in my business folio and take it to work use it on my breaks and when I have some free time. It is also quite solid I had no fear of damaging it holding it on it's edges.
The feature I like best is the screen. They use the new LED backlighting instead of fluorescent so it is more energy efficient and way brighter then any other of Apple's displays even ont he MacBook Pro.
As for the 80gb vs solid state drive. I got the 80gb because while the solid state will read data faster and boot up and open applications faster then a MacBook Pro the 80gb drive writes data faster, and well I did not buy this computer for it's speed anyway.
By the way if you are concerned about the size of the hard drive I'll let you know what I do and hope it helps. When I am away I leave my MacPro on and set up my .mac account with Back to my Mac. I have a AT&T 3G wireless card and with that combo I can access the 1TB drive and all the applications on my MacPro. It will not obviously run as fast but it is the closest you will get to a 1.08 TB laptop at this point.

Know Thyself

There are so many opinions floating around about this latest Apple innovation, my simple reply is to think what works best for yourself. The *plus* in one's views may be the *minus* in another's. The Macbook Air is the perfect answer for my way of using a notebook computer. Study the forums, learn the features, and decide if it works. When you read the negative reviews, remember it could just be the Air does not fit the user's needs. Just as most all other notebooks do not fit my needs. The Air is for the simple, uncluttered life. When you KNOW yourself, this removes much of the confusion. Apple has heavy-duty alternatives, while the Air simply does exactly as it was designed to do... keeping your life simple, uncluttered AND productive.

MacBook Air is ultrathin, ultraportable, and ultra unlike anything else. But you don't lose inches and pounds overnight. It's the result of rethinking conventions. Of multiple wireless innovations. And of breakthrough design. With MacBook Air, mobile computing suddenly has a new standard.MacBook Air is nearly as thin as your index finger. Practically every detail that could be streamlined has been. Yet it still has a 13.3-inch widescreen LED display, full-size keyboard, and large multi-touch trackpad. It's incomparably portable without the usual ultraportable screen and keyboard compromises.The incredible thinness of MacBook Air is the result of numerous size- and weight-shaving innovations. From a slimmer hard drive to strategically hidden I/O ports to a lower-profile battery, everything has been considered and reconsidered with thinness in mind.MacBook Air performance is as impressive as its form, thanks to its Intel Core 2 Duo processor. This chip was custom-built to fit within the compact dimensions of MacBook Air.
