‘And for $100 more I can get the bigger display, longer battery life AND faster processor…’ You’re seeing where this is going.Īfter playing with a review sample, I decide that the base 11″ MacBook Air wouldn’t fit my needs. ‘Only $200 more for the 128GB drive’ I thought to myself. The price tag started to grow as I justified each step up. I have a few-months old MacBook Pro, ( 2.66GHz Core i7, HD matte display) and a plethora of Windows based machines at my disposal, so I didn’t exactly ‘need’ a new laptop. But I quickly climbed up Apple’s MacBook Air pricing ladder. I admit that the 11″ MacBook Air’s $999 price tag was something that quickly caught my attention. I decided to wait a few days until I could actually go hands on with the MacBook Air and decide which model to buy. When the new MacBook Air was introduced during one of Steve Jobs’ keynotes I was quickly drawn in and got that familiar ‘gotta have it’ feeling and my credit card was almost out of my wallet. But its compromises have me setting aside almost every other mobile device in my gadget arsenal. This laptop’s beat just about all of my expectations in almost every department. Though I own a lot of Apple products, I’m not a blind fanboy that simply drools at anything with with a glowing Apple on the back of it. It’s been the best overall experience I’ve had with any new device since…well ever. So why do I call the 13″ MacBook Air the best laptop I’ve ever used? Simple: The user experience. The new MacBook Air is the best laptop I’ve ever purchased or used.Īs someone that’s bought, used and reviewed dozens upon dozens of laptops over the years it’s actually easy to make the above statement.

If you want to skip reading a long block of text, I’ll get to the point. I picked up a new MacBook Air a few days after it was first introduced and have been using it as my primary mobile computer since then.
