Is The MacBook Air Worth It?:A Full Review
Apple’s MacBook Air is one of those things that’s on everyone’s wish lists at the moment. It’s simply sexy!
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 MacBook Air’s keyboard is something that was well designed by Apple. It’s great to type with.
The separate buttons for keys make making typing mistakes next to impossible, unlike standard keyboards
which have joined buttons, which leads to sliding of fingers etc.
The 13 inch LED screen is great. Unlike most other screens with backlights, this screen consumes next to no
electricity.
The graphics of the screen are amazing; unlike the normal fuzzy, low res quality you would expect on a laptop with a small screen, the Air shines, with vibrant, bright and sharp graphics that can only be wished for on most other small laptops.
Unfortunately, Apple only offers the screen with a glossy finish, so be prepared for impaired view when using this laptop outside.
Being such a small laptop, the MacBook air doesn’t have space to cater for large “luxuries” such as the disc drove.
Because of this, the MacBook Air comes with small adapters, which lets you
connect with DVI, USB or your external disc drive that comes with the Air.
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.
All in all, the Air’s OS is just like it is on all Apple products; beautiful, functional and very easy to use.
The MacBook Air is a beautiful piece of tech. On the downside, it’ll cost you in excess of $1500. If you are
desperately in need of a new sexy laptop, and this is in your price range, get it! Of course, if your budget isn’t so high, it probably would be better for you to get another make of laptop insteadof this rather pricey Apple product.
