MacBook Air

There was a lot of fuss around the new MacBook presented at the recent Apple keynote, but I’m still considering the pros and cons. Sure it’s slim ( 0.76-inch at its thickest ) and it has a nice 13.3-inch, widescreen display. But it's not dubbed “air” for nothing. The new MacBook relies heavily on its 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 connections. Not only it doesn't have an UTP network port but it also lacks an optical unit ( to solve this Apple found a way to use another computer’s optical drive via wireless connection ).

For the $1,799 you pay for the base model you'll get a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo chip, 2 GB of RAM and a 80 GB HDD. On the other hand the high-end version has a 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo and instead of the classic hard drive it has a 64GB SSD, but those small upgrades come for an amazing $3,098.

And yes the battery lasts five hours but you can’t just change it with a full one when it gets discharged. So the new MacBook is extremely slim and good looking, but it does have its drawbacks. You can buy one if you want to look good and be trendy, but I’d still look for another option for my work laptop.
