Why get an Apple Macbook Air
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009If you are after a thin laptop then you can’t get much thinner than the Apple Macbook Air. It’s about the size of a piece of paper (well maybe not quite). This hot laptop is Apple’s entry into the ultraportable laptop market. They have entered with a bang as the Macbook Air is really something to talk about.
Take one look at the Macbook Air and you’ll fall in love it is. The sleek design immediately draws your attention. Of course there are lighter laptops but they are not as light as the Air.
Carry the Apple Macbook Air and you’ll be noticed. This is one of the hottest gadgets of the year and is highly desirable. The Macbook Air is help in an aluminium casing meaning although it’s light it still has a feel to it.
It may look good but to make it so small Apple has had to make some compromises. Its certainly not the most powerful laptop on the market. You would not want to replace your desktop PC with this laptop as it simply wont have enough power.
The laptop comes with an LED backlit display which makes sure that the batteries last longer than if it had a normal LCD display. The screen produces rich colours so is not like some of the cheap screens you can get on laptops.
If you like writing on the move then the Macbook Air is perfect for you. It makes easy typing with it’s full-size keyboard. The keys are also separated from each other so you won’t have to fumble looking for the right key to press.
Connectivity may be a problem with the Macbook Air. It doesn’t come with a CD drive meaning you won’t be able to put your favourite CDs onto your harddrive. Maybe this is so you’ll be pursuaded to download all your music from iTunes!
Overall, the Macbook Air is a must buy. Its design is gorgeous. There is one more negative point and that is the price. It is a very expensive piece of equipment. There is a way to get it free however. Simply sign up and complete a DVD trial with Blockbuster or another service. Then spread the word and tell a few friends.
