I've had this for a few days, this is a well made netbook. Well of course apple doesnt call it a netbook but that's what I am using it for. I've went through about 3 netbooks and they all lack a proper processor and gpu; this came along and offers both. Now I would have purchased a pc had any manufacturer actually made one with similar specs but they dont.

I develop software so I primarily use Windows; and I've installed Windows 7 64-bit on this machine; it works wonderful with it. I've tried the OSX partition a few times and the OS works just fine but isn't as feature rich or customizable as Windows 7 is, it also lacks software and ALL development tools I need.

The build quality on this machine is very good; the chassis is made out of aluminum and keeps fairly cool on the palmrest and keyboard area; however it does get quite warm on the bottom of the machine - apple needs to work on their thermal design and/or include better fans inside their machines. I suspect because they are using nvidia gpu's they heat up quite a bit. Otherwise the machine is very well constructed.

The screen is nice and bright and pretty much flawless; no dead pixels and the clarity and color accuracy is great.

I get 5 hours and 55 minutes in Windows using the power saver mode, and exactly 4 hours using the balanced setting, high performance gets me around 3 hours. I've found OSX give very similar results. These figures are with wifi ON.

The machine is very light and has a small form factor - this is pretty much the only reason I got this machine - its basically a netbook form factor and provides mid-performance of a standard laptop - which is something netbooks really should offer instead of intel graphics and atom processors.

All in all this is an excellent Windows netbook if you want to go that option; of course if you want to use OSX theres that option too and it will work just as well.

Love my Macbook Air 11.6"

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

After years of using PCs I switched to Macs about a year ago. I will still always own one PC just to remind me how stupid I was not to make the switch sooner and also because PCs still do some (not many) things better than a Mac or maybe I'm just more used to how PCs do some things. Anyway, I now use two iMacs, a Macbook Pro, and an iPad so I'm pretty heavily invested in things Apple. I bought the new Macbook Air 11" to have a nice light computer to use on the couch, in bed, whatever. I would highly recommend this computer to anyone who feels a Macbook Pro is a little too big or heavy, who travels a lot for business or pleasure, or who doesn't think an iPad will do everything a Macbook will (it won't but it's a great device). Only negative I can think of and it isn't a big one is that if you love the back-lit keyboard on the Macbook Pros, the Air's keyboard doesn't light up. I got the 11.6" Air with the extra RAM, I think that's probably a good idea. The new Air won't replace your main computer (an iMac, a Macbook, or even a PC) but it's a nice addition. Hope this helps, a lot of what I said is pretty obvious. I really like my Macbook Air.

Its fine for the price but the battery does not last ...

I bought this laptop for my business. Its fine for the price but the battery does not last long at all. I contacted the company and they told me to take it to the apple store for a new battery and they would reimburse me. I haven't been able to get this done yet. I just use it connected to the charger. I will update this review as soon as I get to the apple store to get it fixed and they reimburse me as promised.
Overall, not a bad purchase except for the battery issue.

A Great Second Mac

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2010

Verified Purchase

I have a somewhat interesting take on the 11.6-inch MacBook Air. I chose the 13-inch model for myself, but my father who is always on the go for business, chose this 11.6-inch model. He wanted the extra portability, and I wanted the extra performance of the larger machine.

In the end, the story took a further twist. I sold the 13, and I now have this 11.6inch model as shown by Verified Amazon Purchase.

Visually, the machines look different. My (original) 13-inch model does not look significantly different from the front or rear compared to a full featured MacBook Pro. In other words, on the 13-inch model, which I still think is a fantastic choice for many, the footprint of the device is basically the same as a 13-inch MacBook Pro. The difference is the slim side profile, and the two missing pounds.

This 11-inch model is not only light and thin, but has a smaller footprint too. It is striking to see. It looks small, and it's gorgeous. My original 13 was light, but took up as much desk space or lap space as a 13-inch Pro essentially.

The drawbacks to this model and the reason I originally chose the 13-inch? The processor included in this 11-inch machine is a fair bit slower. Comparing some online benchmarks, this entry-level 11-inch model with the 1.4 GHZ Core 2 Duo brought in about 70 percent of the processing speed of the entry level 13-inch model. While other parts of the machine are equally as fast, such as the graphics processor, solid state storage, and memory, the processor performance difference is not insignificant. You do feel a slight performance difference between the 13 and 11.

The included storage on this model is 128 GB. Being a second Mac, I could have gotten by with the 64GB machine, but I got a good price on the machine here at Amazon, and I figure the extra storage will bump my resale value up someday, when the next revision is available. Still, you will have to be careful to not story lots of videos on here, of course, story a handful of movies for a trip is no problem. You main video library can simply remain on another Mac, and you can stream it over to Air via iTunes.

However, the storage is solid state and fast, which enables fast startups and allows the machine to still feel snappy despite the slower processor.

Apple specs the battery in this model at 5 hours, whereas the 13-inch model has a quoted 7 hours. Apple is using a new battery testing procedure, which is said to more accurately predict real world battery life. Nevertheless, the battery life edge does go to the 13-inch model. I find the Apple battery projections not awful, but I get about 1 hour less than the quoted on each machine, and I have relatively non intensive tasks I use the Airs to complete.

The display is no slouch despite its 11.6-inch size. Indeed, its resolution is similar to the Mac Book Pro's 13-inch display, so there is no question that the display is gorgeous.

iLife 11 is included and already installed on this device, so you will be able to take advantage of the latest iLife software right out of the box. Two USB ports and a mini display port allow for expandability and compatibility with external devices. Connect an external hard drive for expanded storage, or sync up your iPhone. No problem. Indeed, believe it or not, this small 11.6-inch MacBook Air can drive the 27-inch Cinema Display that Apple sells. That shows the impressive graphics performance this small machine offers.

The 13-inch asks you to take fewer sacrifices in terms of performance and storage. However, this 11.6-inch is oh so portable. Honestly, it's surprising when you see it in person. This 11.6-inch is probably destined to be the "cool," choice.

Overall, it is clear to see there are several drawbacks to the 11-inch model. Less storage, shorter battery life, and slower processor. However, there are several benefits: a smaller footprint, lighter weight, and therefore easier portability. Plus, there a cool factor that makes jaws drop when you pull this 11-inch model out of your bag. Despite its diminutive size, it's a quality product. Make no mistake about it, while it might be less powerful than other Mac notebooks, the 11-inch Air is no net-book. The quality and performance far outshines any net-book. This machine will serve your word processing, consumer photo editing, music listening, email writing, and web surfing needs without issue. I might caution its use as one's sole computer only due to the limited onboard storage, limited RAM, and somewhat slower performance (1.4 GHZ Core 2 Duo Processor). Highly recommend product for the correct application/use.
