NotebookReview and LaptopMag posted a review on Apple’s MacBook Air, world’s thinnest laptop. Powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6GHz CPU, MacBook Air has 2GB DDR2 RAM, and 80GB hard drive. In such a thin body, MacBook Air packs also WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, iSight and a 13.3-inch LCD screen with LED backlit.
NotebookReview’s comment:
Apple is pushing the envelope (cough cough) with the MacBook Air … in various ways that some people will love and others will hate. On one hand they offer a super thin, lightweight design, but on the other they take away ports and give you a permanent battery. This notebook also suffers from some early release driver quirks, but those should hopefully be resolved in the near future. Overall I think this is a promising notebook that should force some other manufacturers to wake up and design some lighter and slimmer full-size notebooks.
Pros
* Works out of the box with Windows Vista (even if it does have a few hiccups)
* Thin and lightweight design that manages to stay incredibly strong
* Battery life claims are not far off from being accurate
Cons
* Belches out heat like nobody’s business
* No replaceable battery
* Slow charging speeds
* Almost no ports
