It is not often we review a Macintosh product on DriverHeaven and although we are late to the table we felt it would be an interesting novelty for our readers to have a look at probably the sexiest laptop ever made, the MacBook Air.
So is the MacBook Air worthy of your £1,200? On a personal level I would unreservedly say yes. To be truthful however, I am a designer by heart and I cant help but fail to be impressed by the engineering and design ethic Apple embed into every piece... |

Ultra slim lightweight design; large, bright LED screen; multitouch gesture trackpad; looks really great; high coolness factor.
No builtin optical drive; Remote Disc has limitations; limited number of external ports.
The Air isn’t for everyone. As a portable computer, it excels in many areas that others can’t – such as having a large screen, full-sized keyboard and decent processing power – while staying ultra lightweight. But the exclusion of... |

The last time I wrote about the MacBook Air, Id just gotten back from the launch. But now Ive been using it for a while, so heres some perspective for all those awestruck by Apples slimmest notebook till date.
Great design, Light weight, Good battery life, Multi-touch Touchpad, Full-size Keyboard, Remote Disc.
No optical drive, Limited connectivity options, a bit under powered, Sealed battery, Sleek design comes at the cost of certain necessities, Expensive. |
