    Best display, touchpad and keyboard made the sale
    4
    Posted by: from Wisconsin on 05/10/2012The good: -Glossy screens are terrible if you actually USE your laptop anywhere there is ambient light. Mirror like reflections, reflections, reflections. Light your house, out side, in the car, etc. Sure they have great contrast ratios for movies in dark rooms, but I NEVER DO THAT. Matt screens are just making a comeback, as they don't have the nasty reflections in places you actually USE a laptop. This Apple screen was the absolute BEST one out of all the laptops @ BB. Glossy, BUT WITH A MULTICOATED SURFACE like expensive Nikon or Canon lens use. The result: contrast advantages of glossy, but the reflections are held to a usable level. All laptops over $1000 should have this!!! (Hear me HP????) -Keyboard is backlit. Never had one before but won't go w/o one now. Trackpad multi-touch is smooth and works very nice. -Sleep/Reume speed. SSDs ROCK! 2 seconds from sleep to useable. This makes it more like my phone. - No extra trialware, virus trials, office, or any unwanted vendor software. ALL pcs should come this clean! Nicer out of the box experience. The Bad: No USB 3. Thunderbolt port???? I have USB 3 external HDDS but no Thunderbolt devices. External drive is noticeable slower because it has to use USB 2. - 5 Hour Battery. Ok, but longer is always better. -No DVD/CD drive. Sorry, I'm old enough I still like to burn CDs to play in my car. -OSX font scaling is non-existant compared to Windows and this screen fonts are a little small for the eyes of a 40+ year old. Windows 7, although not perfect, does a WAY better job at the OS level of scaling the fonts as the screen resolution gets higher. OSX doesn't even offer a OS level font scaling. -OSX. Personal choice, but Windows 7 and OSX are both stable. I use Windows more, so I know where everything is. This makes using this machine tougher as I have to look for things and learn where they are. Once I learn, OK, but no real advantage where I go WOW Windows should have that. (Let the Fanboy hate begin) PLUS, Windows software is the 90 LBS gorilla in the room: EVERYBODY writes for it. OSX just can NOT be used to run some of our work software. (Sure dual boot or VMware, but adds even more cost to buy Windows disk) -Pricey. I have a HP top of the line metal cased i7 QuadCore with NVidia discrete graphics and a 17.3" screen and Beats Audio that was $400 cheaper (33%!!!!) Other than the glossy screen, it is WAY more powerful and does everything the MBA does, plus more( DVD drive allows CD and movie manipulation and buring and i7 quad kicks butt at video) Sure the HP is 2x as heavy and not as sexy, but the HP is a true desktop replacement, where the MBA is lacking w/o a DVD drive and is underpowered for video manipulation. Overall: I wanted to like the Asus UX31, but for just a little more, the MBA screen is so much better. MBA Keyboard and touchpad are first class also. Wish the "Apple Tax" was less as this costs $200-$300 more than it should be. I wanted to put Windows 7 on it as the sole OS as that would allow the unit to run more software and scale the fonts and Icons up, but really wife's computer now and she doesn't want me to touch it. -Screen, Keyboard and Touchpad are the reasons to get this device.

    So happy I made the switch to Apple

    Posted by: from Vermont on 05/09/2012With only minor adjustments anyone can make the switch from a PC to a Mac. It really didn't take very much effort to become comfortable with my new laptop.

    This is a great laptop
    5
    Posted by: from PA on 05/09/2012Like any Apple product, this is overpriced. Having said that, this is, overall, the best laptop I've ever had. It is very portable/ light, so if you are a student, or if you travel for work, this is extremely important. If you have never had a computer with a solid state drive, you don't know what you are missing. This computer will boot up in less than ten seconds. It is extremely fast and responsive. Like any Mac, it is extremely reliable. Four gigs of RAM is plenty for this particular OS, and considering how light and small this is, the graphics are amazing. You probably won't be able to play Skyrim or Battlefield 3 on highest settings, but if you are a casual gamer, you should be fine. Chances are, that if you are a hardcore gamer, this is not going to be your primary computer for gaming anyway. Before you decide to buy this, make sure that you understand that the hard drive is not huge, so if you like to hoard movies, TV shows, pictures and music on your laptop, this might be an issue. If you watch DVDs and listen to CDs on your laptop, remember that this laptop does not have a hard drive. If these two things are not an issue for you, look no further. Buy this computer now. It is overpriced, but it really is an amazing computer.
