 Special Product For Special People May 19, 2009
True... it is not for everyone.
But if you know what u want and are willing to sacrifice some stuff, in order to get other benefits not found in other laptops. go for it.
enjoy.

Worth the price! Aug 05, 2008
While it is true that the MacBook Air is not for everyone, this is the best computer I have owned. Mine is the SSD version and it is my work computer, used for Web development, occasional graphics work in Creative Suite, and bookkeeping using QuickBooks for Windows via Parallels.
After reading all the debate about the relative performance compared to more powerful machines as well as complaints about lack of ports and other "features", I have found that the actual daily ease-of-use is incredible. It is quiet and very portable, the screen is fantastic, the trackpad is highly responsive, waking from sleep is instantaneous, and the speed for regular work using a variety of applications is very fast.
My existing peripherals work with the Air. The only accessories I purchased are the USB Ethernet adapter and a neoprene sleeve. I do not own a SuperDrive, Airport Extreme router, or Time Capsule backup. I was able to reinstall OS X Leopard without many of the extras and saved a significant amount of disk space. With all my applications and files, there is still 29 GB of available space on the 64 GB drive.
Customizing the set up was surprisingly easy. Using a typical non-Apple wireless router and the USB Ethernet adapter, I plugged in to the wired ports and used Remote Disc to reinstall Leopard and several third-party applications. After the initial set up, Remote Disc then works over any wireless network. For backing up, I use a 2.5-inch, SATA hard drive in a USB enclosure. The USB port on the Air delivers enough power out of the single connection (no two-wired connections necessary).
Compared to my former machine, a MacBook Pro with 4GB of memory, the two caveats are that I cannot have a ton of application open at once, and intensive Photoshop work takes a performance hit. But these two negatives are far outweighed by the positives.
Since prices are coming down for SSDs in general, the price is coming down on the Air with SSD. I purchased mine for just slightly more than my former MacBook Pro. And for me, it was definitely worth it.

 Nice if you don't mind it being out-dated within 6 months !!! Jul 27, 2008
I actually do not own this but my friend bought one a month ago. Very simply put; it is a nice toy if you have thousands of dollars to waste. In a very short time from now it will be seriously out-dated and Apple will push a fancier and more cost effective(cheaper)one. TERRIBLE VALUE

I Love It--Now I Want My Own! Jul 22, 2008
This is going to be a short and sweet review, because I don't actually own this laptop, but a friend has let me try hers several times.
I loved everything about it: Size, ease of use, speed, keyboard, monitor, EVERYTHING.
Let me confess here that I'm not especially "technically inclined". So, to be fair, I'm giving it 4 stars--since some techical folks may be aware of faults that escaped me.
I'll be back to update this review when I get my own machine--which I want!

Macbook Air Jul 11, 2008
Bought 3 of these laptops. This review is for all 3. Very good laptop. But you would not expect less from Apple. Packaged in a very nice black box. Very small and light. Although very thin its keys are made from solid material and one will enjoy using them. Many people maybe not accustomed to Apple's operating system but its more reliable than Microsoft's. Also fancy gui. When you switch it on for the first time you have to complete a series of forms and settings so that it can adjust everything automatically. It found my wireless network without trouble and logged into the internet.
It only has one usb. 2 would have been nice. But the real disapointment is that does not have an optical drive. One has to get an external one.
Except only 1 usb and no dvd writer I do not think that there are bad things about this laptop. It is very recommended for those that travel a lot and do not want too much power out of the laptop.
