      Apple 1.6GHz MacBook Air

      By Susie Ochs

      Review summary: Lightweight or Airhead? The world's thinnest laptop is a little thin on "depth" and "features" too.

      Pros: Gorgeous design, Multi-touch trackpad, bright LED-backlit screen, backlit keyboard. Remote Disc even lets you boot from the installer disc

      Cons: Disappointing battery life ; small hard drive ; lack of optical drive, FireWire, and built-in Ethernet limits its usefulness for many

      Verdict: . For some people, the Air will be worth it. Bloggers, for example, who use Wi-Fi and don't need to encode video or deal with huge image files, will love this svelte wonder. For a highly portable Web-surfing and productivity Mac, it rules. We're also ...

      Verdict: Those with extra money to burn can option for the 1.8GHz processor and ridiculously expensive $1000 "upgrade" for the faster yet smaller 64GB solid state disk (SSD) drive, which we strongly urge against as the performance gains are minimal. Fully ...

      By Ross Catanzariti

      Pros: Superb design, anodised aluminium casing, build quality, illuminated backlit keyboard, built in iSight camera, 13.3in display, multi-touch trackpad, Remote Disc feature

      Cons: No optical drive, no FireWire, no Ethernet port, only one USB port, non-removable battery with short battery life

      Verdict: The MacBook Air is a superbly crafted notebook, but this niche product isn't for everyone. Its lack of optical drive, FireWire and Ethernet ports deem it inadequate for power or everyday users. Regardless, it functions well as a secondary device for ...
