We got this laptop in the reconditioned section of the apple store a year ago and it cost about £750 (my boyfriend bought it with his 21st birthday money). I use it on and off now but prefer to use my beast of a laptop most of the time, firstly because my boyfriend is very protective of "his baby" and because it isnt perfect for everything. The technical info is all online and in the discription of this review so this will really just be a techno-novice's review about using this laptop. We got Mac office on this so that it would be more compatible for work and documents from the other computers. My boyfriend was attracted to this by the ...  Read the complete review

So I borrowed my step fathers laptop for a week when I went away on holiday, as I wanted something a little bit more lightweight than my Macbook to take with me and I just wanted to access the internet and do some homework while I was away. I have to say it was ideal for this kind of thing, for traveling, accessing the internet and just using it for basic use the MacBook air really does win. The slight downside is the fact it doesn't have a disk drive, and only has one usb port, but to be honest this is not a huge downside, as anything that can be put on a disk can be put onto a memory stick, and programs such as openoffice etc can be downloaded ...  Read the complete review

In general, I'm not a love of Apple hardware, I find it over-hyped and un-compatible (apart from the iPod ofcourse, couldn't live without that). I bought the Air as something I could carry around, whip out on the train, in Starbucks, that kind of usage. Certainly not to replace a more heavy duty windows device. I chose the air for two reasons: 1. The size and design. . . Its compact enough to sit happily in a bag, or on a small train table. 2. The MacOS. . . having just said i'm not a fan, I do appreciate some things about the MacOS that make it useful, namely, they have this reputation of "just working". My current laptop takes a while ...  Read the complete review

'The hype/critiques' I recently purchased this sleek looking laptop for £1400. While I would expected a little more for its price it has certainly lived up to its expectations. Some critics out their feel that the MacBook Air is nothing more than a fashion accessory coined by Apple in the hope that the many Apple-loving techno savies would purchase it on the basis of Apple's other high quality products. But writing from experience I strongly disagree. 'The Goodies of the product' I opened my laptop for this first time and noticed a crisp, sleek, thin design enriched with a smooth surface and a beautiful 13.3 inch screen. I starting typing with the ...  Read the complete review

I bought this laptop after hearing amazing reviews and I am bewildered. Amazing quality, gorgeous bright screen with great screen durability, doesn't heat up like most laptops, fantastic lightweight build that is so thin that it slips in between documents and you won't even notice it, great battery life, small size, speedy wifi connections, tiny power adapter and great full-size keyboard that is backlit for work in low lighting. This is one of the best laptops I have ever used. Now the cons: - there needs to be more than one usb port. It can be handled if you need more through a small usb hub, but that's not ideal. One more port should have been ...  Read the complete review
