Pricey but Excellent Product
||Posted .When I walked into BB to buy a Mac Pro Air, I expected to purchase the 11" screen model. Seeing the 11" next to the 13" screen I immediately saw I would be $200 happier with the larger screen. Absence of a User Guide has slowed learning all the features and logic of the OS. My experience has been with iPhone & iPad Mini, which act differently in many situations. My prior laptop is a Windows OS so the change is significant. My first Apple product was an Apple IIE in 1979, which offered no guide for modern computing. Keyboard is comfortable for adult fingers and track pad is slightly recessed, so wrists do not move cursor while typing. The ability to resize screen display with a two finger motion is a pleasant feature. Display is sufficiently bright. Online videos play well and the picture is excellent. Although the screen dims when running on battery. Unlike my previous laptop, the Mac Air is cool when sitting on my lap. It is also considerably lighter. Yet, the power cord is too easily detached and comes out without warning. The system starts up without delay. Since most of my computing is email and browsing, getting to my objective is quick and easy. I have been taking on-line courses, some with video and find the screen size and volume to be adequate for educational purposes. Since I do not use the system to print, I cannot comment on integrating print, esp., photo print interfaces. The App store fairly matches that of the iPhone/iPad selection, esp., Evernote. FaceTime and Apple iMessage work, so I can contact family on their iPhones. Haven't tried Skype yet. Lack of GPS is noticeable and a reminder that this is a laptop and not an iPhone. Yes, I have fingerprints on the screen from forgetting it's not a tablet. One complaint that is significant is lack of an email system similar to MS MS Mail or Outlook, thus my email history seems lost unless I can find a work around. Also, the integration of Excell with Numbers makes me nervous. Oh yes, I use DropBox at work and home to share Excell worksheets. It is nice not having to worry so much about virus protection, firewalls and registry slowdowns.

Perfect!
||Posted .First of all, I am new to MAC products. I have been intimately involved with technology since the mid-70s. So, am more than familiar with technology. I have an iPhone, and iPad, but everything else I own is Win-OS. MacBook Air has been perfect, out of the box. I've purchased a Seagate external hard drive, as this one comes with only 256MB inside. I've purchased the MAC CD.DVD drive, as this one comes with nothing inside. MACs are relatively expensive (compared to most Win-OS systems), but so far, worth it. Love the size, a LOT. I purchased this because I am away from home about half of the year, and cannot take my HP all-in-one desktop with me. It's (HP) somewhat portable, but not as portable as the MacBook Air. Everything I have (MAC-wise) travels with me in a small Targus briefcase, and I love it. I am retired, a photographer, and my kids live in a different state, across the country. Lots of nights in hotels, and I want my technology to sleep inside, not in my car. I drive a small car, so luggage space is a premium, for me. This laptop helps more than you can ever imagine. Small, yet powerful. Having said all of that, I am still learning how to do what should be simple things, one of which is to format flash drives and SD disks so that they work interchangeably with my Win-OS desktop. I need(ed) something small, but something that could talk comfortably to my HP, and so far, haven't figured it out. It's possible, but not intuitive nor automatic. I have a strange feeling that once I get very familiar with my new MAC, I'll not turn back. Love it, so far. But, can't stress enough, never buy any technology without first having a serious talk with yourself about what you plan to do with the new machine. Be certain that you adequately buy. But, don't ever underbuy. Overbuy is okay, if you have the pocketbook to handle it. Nice technology, for sure. So far, it is solving the problem for which it was purchased.

My 2nd Macbook Air, 3rd Mac Laptop - I Like It!
||Posted .Outstanding battery life - I regularly see 8+ hours away from an outlet, more if I'm not using the internet. Impressive performance given its power-saving CPU. 4 GB of RAM may seem meager compared to a lot of the PC competition but don't concern yourself: OS X manages RAM much more efficiently than Windows so this is not a con. The solid state drive will change your life if you have not used one before - incredibly responsive compared to the spinning platter hard drives we've all been using for the past 30 years. This is my second MBA - bought to replace my 2012 because I had some great coupons, my first Apple was a 2008 Macbook Pro 15". Excellent resale value, durability of the aluminum chassis, superior build quality, and outstanding battery life keep me recommending the MBA to anyone who asks - the new Lenovo Yoga 3 is the only machine that comes close in terms of quality and desirability, but I am still not ready to pay $1300 for an otherwise unremarkable Windows laptop.

Skeptic converted!
||Posted .I was a bit skeptical of these. Windows 8 pushed me to take the plunge. Coming from PC based laptops, I was nervous about the usability and different operating system. It took a little time to get used to it but it wasn't too difficult as I was an iPhone/iPad user. Software included with the OS mimics all of the expensive MS Office programs. For all but the most complicated of spreadsheets/documents, this works great! It is much easier to use when you take out 50 bajillion functions you will never use. The only complaint is that the screen doesn't seem as sharp as my iPad. Maybe I just need to see an optometrist.... If Windows 8 has you singing a sad song and you can't stomach another disastrous OS from Microsoft, give this a try. Gamers and super-power users need not apply. There are other more powerful options available but this works for 99% of the world. I haven't found myself drinking the Kool-Aid at any Apple cult meetings yet but I can see why so many have abandoned the PC.

Ultra Portable
||Posted .Very satisfied, this is my 3rd Macbook, 2nd Macbook Air. My first Mac was a 2008 Macbook Pro 15 and this computer is worlds better than its predecessors. Reliable, quiet operation, very thin and light, and the new Haswell processors give it an amazing 12 hours of battery life. Speakers are still impressive considering they are invisible and enclosed by this super-thin chassis. 2014 price reduction is icing on the cake - Macs still have great resale value. Screen resolution is only average at 1440x900 but fewer pixels helps battery life stay best in class. I don't think Apple is as special as they once were - they're moving away from creative applications and more towards mainstream productivity while only slightly lowering prices. However, to date, no Windows laptop can touch the battery life, and that lengthy time away from a power outlet keeps me coming back - looking forward to the Retina Macbook Air this fall.

Writing Machine
||Posted .I bought this, calling it my new "writing machine," but I totally lied. I'm using it for writing and work stuff, but I'm also using it for everything I decided to keep my pc laptop for. Procrastinating by watching Hulu and Netflix without moving for a solid ten hours, being light enough, but also large enough to have wonderful quality viewing, and fast enough to do all that plus store a ton of documents that are half thought out ideas. And then when I actually write one it, I realize I did get my new writing machine (four chapters and counting in a month, woo!) even though I really just wanted a fancy toy. I love it and recommend it for being a nice and light, powerful laptop. (Next I'm going to get the Pro and try it, but I've yet to think of a good enough reason to justify spending the oh-my-god-what-even amount of money for it. Someday . . .)

Great product
||Posted .I have been a Microsoft user all my life, so I was extremely apprehensive about spending this amount of money on a device I wasn't sure if I was going to like. The main reason I got a macbook is because I wanted a reliable computer, and I do not like the Windows 7 operating system. I have had my laptop for about two weeks now, and I do really like it. Switching operating systems took ALOT of getting used to. Google was my best friend. The computer has things laid out in a format that is quick and easy; It is also extremely customizable. Sometimes the tracking pad doesn't respond the way I'd like it to, and I miss the shortcuts available with windows (ctrl+f, page up, page down, ctrl+c, backspace (there is only a delete button)), but I'm sure those are things I will get used to over time. Overall, I would say it's a good purchase.
