I’ve now been using the MacBook Air for two months. Here is my snapshot:

Pros

• battery lasts all day long (for typical office tasks)
• battery recharges quickly
• it’s light and slim
• it boots up – and shuts down in about 10s
• it’s fast
• it’s very quiet and runs cool (most of the time)

The light, slim design – coupled with fast start up time – make it ideal for using on the go. It can easily be carried and then got out for a quick note.

Cons

• the two and three finger gestures take some time to get used to – I am still finding myself having to back up where I have made a ‘gesture’.
• browser wars – the safari browser works best on the Mac OS, but I want to use Chrome when using google docs
• the screen is a bit on the small side ( a compromise made for a smaller, lighter laptop)
• I have no idea what iPhoto is doing with my pictures

Overall

I like it. It’s fast and portable. It’s great for most office tasks, browsing etc. So far, so great!
