Super light, strong, and beautifully designed...And of course it's an Apple

This is hands down one of the best laptops we've ever owned. Got this for my wife as an upgrade to he previous MacBook and she loves it. I won't get much into the whole Mac or PC debate, but I will say if you're on the fence, there are two reasons why I'm a fan of Apple software. One, virus protection and security are fantastic and two, it really does just work and Apple tries to make things straight forward and simple. On the hardware side, this laptop is fantastic. It looks and feels great, with a fabulous screen and really good battery life. It runs plenty fast and even handles some pro apps like Adobe Creative Suite well for moderate use. The most amazing thing about the MacBook Air is literally the "Air", because it's so light I can easily hold it with one hand while the screen is open. If you haven't handled one of these in person, I recommend going to the Apple Store or local store that carries them, so you can get a feel for how light and portable it really is. Another wonderful thing that comes with all Mac laptops these days, is the MagSafe power cable that simply pops out if you trip over the cable, so your valuable laptop is safe and sound. I can attest to how valuable this feature is no less than five times. Lastly, yes Apple's products and this laptop included, are more expensive than the bargain brand, but you really do get what you pay for. Hardware that lasts and also holds its resale value very well, as well as software that's easy to setup and use. I highly recommend this fantastic laptop for normal daily computer use and moderate use with pro apps.Read full review
