MacBook Air Hands On
January 17th, 2008

The Apple booth is busy, with most people heading straight to the MacBook Air demo models, so only a quick look at the product was possible. However, it was long enough for me personally to decide that this is the laptop for me. Up until now, I have put off buying a MacBook mainly due to the weight, so the first thing I did was close and lift it. It’s light, something the Apple employee demonstrating it to me was quick to point out. Many people look at laptops like the MacBook Air and can’t understand why anyone would pay extra for lesser specs simply for a weight cut. However, any student or traveller will tell you that weight is a very important factor when choosing a machine - the MacBook Air meets that requirement. It is a solid machine and will undoubtedly be a big seller over the next few months.
