Apple MacBook Air Laptop Review

The designers may have compromised on the features this laptop has for example it has no optical drive or ethernet port (though they can be purchased as extras) the design and look of the laptop is recompense enough – it is no less than a woman enduring the agonising pain of a beautiful pair of shoes.

The MacBook air has been reportedly criticised for its speed or lack of it, though it is the slowest Mac Book available in comparison to other machines on the market it is comparably quick. The laptop also rather surprisingly comes equipped with an iSight camera and advanced integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics technology.

Still to be argued is whether ‘thinness’ equates to portability. The Sony TZ could possibly be more portable as it weighs only 1.2 KG compared to the Air’s 1.3 KG but more significantly, the TZ has a compact 11.1 inch screen it can fit into bags smaller than back packs or laptop cases possibly beating the MacBook air in the portability race having said that the Sony also has its draw backs of a restricted key board and a rather large price tag.

The only thing that needs to be decided is, if you are willing to compromise on the MacBook Air’s lack features for the beauty of its design.
