There aren’t many thinner laptops than the Macbook Air. We’ve all seen the advert where it fits in the envelope. It’s almost like a piece of paper. This beautiful gadget is the latest invention from Apple. Once again their design team has got it spot on and have designed not just a gadget but a piece of art.

The Macbook Air is great to look at. The design is stunning. There have been thinner laptops released before. There have been lighter laptops released before, but none of them have the oomph the Macbook Air has. Apple’s aim with the Macbook Air was to create a laptop that people wouldnt be afraid to be seen with.

It’s more a fashion item more than anything. If you have one of these you certainly dont want to keep it to yourself. The aluminium casing reassures you that the build quality has not been sacrificed for the size.

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 Apple Macbook Air has a bright display which produces vivid real colours. The fact that it is an LED display instead of an LCD display means that the battery lasts that little bit longer. Good quality screens make using the computer a much better experience.

The Macbook has a full keyboard which is a surprise for an ultraportable laptop. This makes typing a joy though of course it is still not as good as a separate keyboard.

The Macbook does not come with a CD/DVD drive which means that you will not be able to burn DVDs or watch them on the move. As well as this the Air only has one USB port which may be annoying for some.

The Macbook Air is a must have. It’s sleek design is to die for. The only bad thing about it is the price. It costs around a grand to buy which means you’ll have to save up for one! However, there is a way where you can get a Macbook Air for free. All you have to do is simply register for a DVD trial with Blockbuster or a similar service. Then invite a few friends to do the same. This marketing strategy has been covered by reputable news networks such as BBC, CNN and NBC.
