Provided you have money. They're a bit of a luxury good for me at the moment. I'm typing from my dad's new Macbook Air, and it's a dream machine. Small, compact, yet it feels solid. It's a beautiful machine, screen-wise and build-wise.
After using this, and my iPhone, I've come to realise that processor power blah blah blah means diddly squat. It's all about how the operating system utilised. Hence, this computer whizzes along. Start up time is like, ten seconds. No joke.
Battery life is excellent. But you probably know that already, since it's a Macbook.
It doesn't seem like an 11 inch notebook. Like, I've just forgotten how small it really is. Not only the screen size, but the keyboard as well. It's full size, which I've never seen on a netbook. The best I've seen on one of those toys is 90% full size. An annoying thing is the missing delete key, which makes the keyboard exactly the same as the wireless one that comes with the iMac.
Also, the fun factor. Two finger swipe, three finger swipe, etc. It's awesome fun.
Again, they've lived up to the mantra of people wanting to use their computers, not hating them.
Anyway, I'm supposed to be running down the battery on this thing for my dad, which is proving extremely difficult to do. It's twitched one per cent since about 15 minutes ago.
I was thinking of getting one, but a) they're a tad expensive for me, and b) I just ordered a new battery for my laptop. Oh, did I mention that I'm only considering getting one because the battery on Bumblebee died? Sad, but true.
