What's great about it: lightweight, fast, easy to use
What's not so great: price (if anything)
It's the perfect laptop. It's portable, the screen is great, it powers up and shuts down fast. It costs a lot, and there is a relatively small hard drive, but external drives are cheap if you need them. It's expensive, but if you can justify spending that much, you won't think twice about it once you start using it.
This product is... A touch pad that works great, Easy to set up and is lightning fast, A nice compact size

What's great about it: Display is Glossy but MULTICOATED to cut reflections, thin case,
What's not so great: No USB 3 ports, too pricy, no CD/DVD
The good:
-Glossy screens are terrible if you actually USE your laptop anywhere there is ambient light. Mirror like reflections, reflections, reflections. Light your house, out side, in the car, etc. Sure they have great contrast ratios for movies in dark rooms, but I NEVER DO THAT. Matt screens are just making a comeback, as they don't have the nasty reflections in places you actually USE a laptop. This Apple screen was the absolute BEST one out of all the laptops @ BB. Glossy, BUT WITH A MULTICOATED SURFACE like expensive Nikon or Canon lens use. The result: contrast advantages of glossy, but the reflections are held to a usable level. All laptops over $1000 should have this!!! (Hear me HP????)
-Keyboard is backlit. Never had one before but won't go w/o one now.
Trackpad multi-touch is smooth and works very nice.
-Sleep/Reume speed. SSDs ROCK! 2 seconds from sleep to useable. This makes it more like my phone.
- No extra trialware, virus trials, office, or any unwanted vendor software. ALL pcs should come this clean! Nicer out of the box experience.

- No extra trialware, virus trials, office, or any unwanted vendor software. ALL pcs should come this clean! Nicer out of the box experience.
The Bad: No USB 3. Thunderbolt port???? I have USB 3 external HDDS but no Thunderbolt devices. External drive is noticeable slower because it has to use USB 2.
- 5 Hour Battery. Ok, but longer is always better.
-No DVD/CD drive. Sorry, I'm old enough I still like to burn CDs to play in my car.
-OSX font scaling is non-existant compared to Windows and this screen fonts are a little small for the eyes of a 40+ year old. Windows 7, although not perfect, does a WAY better job at the OS level of scaling the fonts as the screen resolution gets higher. OSX doesn't even offer a OS level font scaling.
-OSX. Personal choice, but Windows 7 and OSX are both stable. I use Windows more, so I know where everything is. This makes using this machine tougher as I have to look for things and learn where they are. Once I learn, OK, but no real advantage where I go WOW Windows should have that. (Let the Fanboy hate begin) PLUS, Windows software is the 90 LBS gorilla in the room: EVERYBODY writes for it. OSX just can NOT be used to run some of our work software. (Sure dual boot or VMware, but adds even more cost to buy Windows disk)

(Sure dual boot or VMware, but adds even more cost to buy Windows disk)
-Pricey. I have a HP top of the line metal cased i7 QuadCore with NVidia discrete graphics and a 17.3" screen and Beats Audio that was $400 cheaper (33%!!!!) Other than the glossy screen, it is WAY more powerful and does everything the MBA does, plus more( DVD drive allows CD and movie manipulation and buring and i7 quad kicks butt at video) Sure the HP is 2x as heavy and not as sexy, but the HP is a true desktop replacement, where the MBA is lacking w/o a DVD drive and is underpowered for video manipulation.
Overall: I wanted to like the Asus UX31, but for just a little more, the MBA screen is so much better. MBA Keyboard and touchpad are first class also. Wish the "Apple Tax" was less as this costs $200-$300 more than it should be. I wanted to put Windows 7 on it as the sole OS as that would allow the unit to run more software and scale the fonts and Icons up, but really wife's computer now and she doesn't want me to touch it.
-Screen, Keyboard and Touchpad are the reasons to get this device.

What's great about it: Super fast, reliable, virus free. Everything "good" you've heard about Mac is true!
What's not so great: I'm bothered by the profit margin, yet I don't think I'll ever go back to a PC.
With only minor adjustments anyone can make the switch from a PC to a Mac. It really didn't take very much effort to become comfortable with my new laptop.

This is a great laptop

What's great about it: Extremely fast, responsive, reliable, light.
What's not so great: Cost
Like any Apple product, this is overpriced. Having said that, this is, overall, the best laptop I've ever had. It is very portable/ light, so if you are a student, or if you travel for work, this is extremely important.
If you have never had a computer with a solid state drive, you don't know what you are missing. This computer will boot up in less than ten seconds. It is extremely fast and responsive. Like any Mac, it is extremely reliable.
Four gigs of RAM is plenty for this particular OS, and considering how light and small this is, the graphics are amazing. You probably won't be able to play Skyrim or Battlefield 3 on highest settings, but if you are a casual gamer, you should be fine. Chances are, that if you are a hardcore gamer, this is not going to be your primary computer for gaming anyway.

Before you decide to buy this, make sure that you understand that the hard drive is not huge, so if you like to hoard movies, TV shows, pictures and music on your laptop, this might be an issue.
If you watch DVDs and listen to CDs on your laptop, remember that this laptop does not have a hard drive.
If you watch DVDs and listen to CDs on your laptop, remember that this laptop does not have a hard drive.
If these two things are not an issue for you, look no further. Buy this computer now. It is overpriced, but it really is an amazing computer.

What's great about it: Display, TrackPad, Speed, Easy to Set Up
What's not so great: Hard Drive Size
This is my first Mac purchase and I've loved it so far. It was even so easy to partition the hard drive and put Windows on it for those programs that don't have a Mac version available. The Mac Support site made the whole process so easy. The design and features of the Mac are so intuitive and when I switch back to a Windows PC laptop, I feel like I'm using a clunker. The TrackPad makes navigating the entire system so easy and for those projects that I need an actual mouse, I purchased the Magic Mouse and it's just as great!! My only down side is that I should have bought the larger hard drive size model. However, as it's a Solid State Memory Hard Drive, the system is so fast and I'm running Adobe Creative Suite, Windows, Microsoft Office, and iMovie on it all the time. It has become the hub of our living room as we purchased the HDTV output and can be streaming movies or tv on Hulu while still working on the laptop. Best purchase I've made in a long time!!

What's not so great: Price
This is a great notebook. It boots up in seconds, great processing speed and is SO portable. I use it primarily for business so it's great for travel. Its double the price of a normal PC notebook, BUT the price is worth it when it comes to upkeep and the speed of the notebook, which does NOT slow down like PC's. Highly recommended investment.

What's great about it: It just works the way it's supposed to. So refreshing.
What's not so great: nothing
I have been a PC guy since the early 80's. I bought an iPhone and than a iPad. Liked them both and than I bought a iMac. That sold me on Mac's and than I bought this MacAir. It has been GREAT. I use it when I travel and I just pop it open and it is ready to go. No blue screen, no lock-ups, it just works the way it's supposed to. I'm getting 5 to 6 hours of battery life, that has been more than enough for me.
I have no complaints and I use this everyday.

What's not so great: I'll get back to you.
This thing is super light and thin. I'm pretty sure I could use it as weapon if I was ever attacked. It has a strong unibody! Its fast, with the SSD instead of the spindle drive. Boots in about 7 secs. It has really great speakers which I don't understand, it seems to me that the speakers leak out of the keyboard, same with the fan. Thats a really clever design. Haha. Also I run dual monitors with mine its really smooth.

I was on the fence with this purchase since I use Quickbooks for business and the Mac QB version is not comparable to the Windows QB version. So I will keep using my HP for now for my QB and MS Office. This is my first Mac and now I understand why there are Mac lovers. It is like typing on butter. The quality is second to none. So easy to use and so quick! I also bought the HardCandy sleek cover in white on the Best Buy Website. Looks so nice! If you are on the fence, DO IT! You won't regret it!

I absolutely love this product. I've had several laptops, but never any that performed as this one. Everything about this MacBook Air is wonderful. Although I was not used it initially, I found it my way around it (especially the need to purchase certain apps that I would not have to do on any other laptop).
