I have owned 3 previous Macbooks, and the last one I owned before this one was the the 17in Macbook Pro which was an impressive machine, with an impressive weight. After owning it for a few months I noticed that I would get home and my back would be in agony from carrying so much weight around dally. from Amazon.com I gave it 2 stars just because its an apple product. Don't fool your self you WILL need a cd drive and you will end up buying an external one anyway. from Amazon.com Like a lot of people I'm a big fan of Apple products. Previously as a PC owner I appreciated the user friendliness, intuitiveness and reliability of Macs. from Amazon.com Well It has been a couple months of constant use, and the hype is all gone over the MacBook Air, so what do I think of it now??? IT IS GREAT!!! from Amazon.com This laptop broke after just a few uses. Being the first time to choose a mac air, I was needless to say, very disappointed. Apple support, which I fortunately never needed to use for my ipod, was not the least bit helpful. from Amazon.com I've had my Air for six months and have used it almost daily. I agree with the comments of others who have said that it is not suitable as a main computer but it is perfect for travel or any other situation in which mobility is key. from Amazon.com I was happy with the unit received until it developed a horizontal line of dead pixels in the lower half of the screen. I ended up taking it to my local Apple store and they exchanged it with a new one in spite the fact I purchased the original unit from Amazon. This was our first Mac and compared to Windows it's quality was superior. from Amazon.com Beautiful beautiful beautiful. It's an Apple; I work on music production as well as architectural graphic design on this thing and it keeps up with no issues. Did I mention it was beautiful? from Amazon.com OMG simple words cannot describe how much I love my macbook air! Trust me, after you convert from a pc to a mac, you will understand why the designs and functionality is different. from Amazon.com I bought the machine about 6 months ago from amazon and hardly used it until now, since I already had two additional notebooks. This machine has serious performance issues and design flaws esp. from Amazon.com
