MacBook Air Review By Ars Technica

MacBook Air

The Ars Technica Review summary:

The Good

  • Form factor is indisputably thin and light. Photos don’t do it justice
  • Sturdy despite its looks
  • Works great as a full-size portable Internet device

The Bad

  • Migration Assistant is incredibly annoying to use without FireWire
  • Most of your USB devices won’t fit into the tiny port door—stock up on your extension cables
  • Performance isn’t exactly the Air’s strong point compared to other Macs

The Ugly

  • 4200rpm drive causes major machine slowdowns when there’s lots of disk activity
  • Battery life is disappointing—only half of advertised life on lowest screen brightness
