Free As A Bird: Initial Thoughts After A Day With The New MacBook Air MG Siegler TechCrunch
I've done it. I've worn the battery completely down on one of the new MacBook Airs. As such, I thought I'd post some initial thoughts about the machine. This isn't a huge all-encompassing review - I haven't even used it outside of my apartment yet - but rather my initial thoughts for those of you thinking about rushing out to buy one. All day, I've been testing out the 13.3-inch model. After playing around with the 11.6-inch model in the demo area after Apple's event today, I decided that while it is freakishly, insanely small, I'd rather carry the extra .5 pounds and get the extra 2 hours of battery life that the slightly larger model offers. And I think that was the right choice, I've been using it all day and the battery just wore out. The iPad has spoiled me. I often look at my 5.6 pound MacBook Pro with dread now. It's simply too bulky. And considering I have never used the optical drive on the thing, I can't figure out why I need some of that bulk. This new MacBook Air eliminates it. Bottom line: so far, I love this thing. ... http://techcrunch.com/2010/10/21/new-macbook-air-review/ _______________________________________________ Medianews mailing list Medianews@etskywarn.net http://lists.etskywarn.net/mailman/listinfo/medianews
