Apple MacBook Air review
Comments:
The Asus GeForce EN8800GS TOP is a cut-down graphics card, designed to undercut the 3870 XT - and, perhaps, to even start to rival the budget-priced 3850 Pro.
Review Verdict: The story of the MacBook Air is a story about compromise, the decision about whether the MacBook Air is a product worth having can be answered by one question: How much are you willing to compromise? Judged merely on the cold technological specifications,

Apple MacBook Air, 1.8GHz & 64GB SSD review
Comments:
We assess the effects of the MacBook Air's two main build-to-order configuration options, the £190 processor-speed upgrade and the £639 SSD upgrade.
Review Verdict: The public reaction to the MacBook Air has been fascinating. Our original conclusion could probably be boiled down to “it's good for people it's good for, and not for people it's not” – this appeared to be a Rorschach test for readers, s...

Apple MacBook Air
Comments:
Before you've even laid eyes on the MacBook Air, the very process of extricating it from its packaging frustrates and excites in a way that few technology purchases can. In typical Apple fashion, every detail has been considered, right down to stage manag
Review Verdict: Gorgeous, expensive and exasperating in equal measure, and yet still desirable despite its myriad faults

Apple MacBook Air (1.8 GHz)
Comments:
Incredibly thin yet surprisingly sturdy New touchpad gesture controls are very useful Remote optical drive makes living without a built-in drive much easier
Review Verdict: The design is revolutionary, but Apple's MacBook Air will appeal to a smaller, more specialised audience than the standard MacBook, thanks to a stripped-down set of connections and features.

MacBook Air
Comments:
When a new notebook model or line comes out, it rarely raises a cacophony of debates between lovers, haters, pundits and grandmas. Such is Apple's ability to engage the emotions. For the January 2008 MacWorld trade show in San Francisco, Steve Jobs announ
Review Verdict: We're ultralight lovers here and we love the MacBook Air. While it makes compromises as all subnotebooks do, 3 key elements are uncompromised: display size, keyboard and processing power. The Air is thinner than numbers can express, so goreous it belongs

QuickTake:
Pros: Fantastic good looks and so thin and uniquely designed that it doesn't look like a computer. Sturdy aluminum casing, very fast performance by ultralight and subnotebook standards. Lovely and bright LED display, innovative multi-touch trackpad is useful an
Cons: Limited ports, no internal optical drive. Ethernet adapter isn't in the box, it requires a $29 separate purchase. Battery isn't swappable for those who need a spare on the road for long trips and the Air won't last a 6 hour flight. Hard drive space is lim

Comments:
Can this lightweight laptop stand up to image-heavy tasks?
Review Verdict: Like most Macworld attendees that day, I simply discounted the computer as an accessory for those who like to be seen in cyber cafes, not a tool you could actually use to work. Various online tech columnists (myself included) crowned it as a great achieve

Apple MacBook Air (1.6GHz)
Comments:
Apple has released what has to be the thinnest notebook ever -- the MacBook Air.
Review Verdict: We're still not fans of Apple's nearly obligatory extended warranty upsell (so much so that we've simply copied this complaint from our last MacBook review). The default warranty for the MacBook is one year of coverage for parts and labour, but toll-free
