Just so beautiful in the flesh.
Now that I have my new Air I can't help fondling it, opening and closing the lid, turning it over-and-over, just to feel it between my fingers; the Air is simply gorgeous to behold.
This is my second Apple laptop. Prior to the Air I had an iBook G4. The iBook is still a fairly sleek, good-looking laptop but along side the Air it looks positively tubby and that's before one has picked it up. The weight difference is extremely noticeable, with the Air feeling exactly like an ultra-portable laptop.
My Air was charged when it came out of the box and booted up Leopard pretty quickly. I didn't use the new wireless version of Migration Assistant as I did't feel like cluttering up the Air with lots of stuff I might never use. I did do a sync via .Mac to set up my email accounts, iCal calendars, Safari bookmarks, Keychain items and Address Book contacts.
This has been my first encounter with Apple's MagSafe charger. I thought it might become disconnected...

Review 1 : MacBook Air from a user
Have been building and using Windows PCs from the early 90's and used quite a few laptops, Compaq through Toshiba and Dell. A bit like driving Trabants they sort of work but break down frequently. You just accepted that you were going to have to wipe the discs and re-install Windows 3, 95, NT, 2000 or XP every 6 months or so. As for viruses on the kids computers...
Then in 2005 bought a Mac Mini as an experiment, and haven't looked back since. I still use a Windows computer every day, but prefer a Mac Mini every time. The original is now being used by one of my kids, we've never had to re-install anything, no blue screens of death and an absolutely silent operator, unlike the Win PCs whining away in the background.
Wanted a laptop, but purely for travel, nothing looked to be suitable and lugging the works Windows slugs had to suffice. Saw the specs for the MacBook Air and realised that although this was a first model, would undoubtedly get better, bigger drive,...
Review 2 : Sheer brilliance
The MacBook Air has a full-size screen and a full-size keyboard. So ignore the fact that it is an ultraportable, most of the time when you're actually using it you'll forget how thin it is and simply focus on whatever you need it to do. The MacBook Air's 1.6 Ghz chip may not be quite as fast as the latest Core 2 Duo processors, but it is no slouch either.
While this Apple is a stunning piece of industrial design, it is not until you use it that you truly realise what a great achievement it is. The LED screen is amazingly bright and visible. The aluminium body is beautifully crafted, has magnetic latches and feels solid and strong. In short, iit is a full-size laptop in an ultra thin package. You know this already, so let me give you a user's perspective on the criticisms levelled at it:
1. Lack of removeable battery - Have you honestly ever replaced the battery on a laptop? In 15 years of using laptops I haven't. I really think this is a non-issue.
2. Lack...
