Been using the Mac Book Air for almost a year now, and this is the first computer (that isn't a tablet) that I actually love. My interest in hardware is fairly neutral: You can get work and play done with just about any device IMO. But the Air distinguishes itself by nailing the day by day values:
- Instant On
- Magazine Like Form Factor
- Human-centric Touchpad
- Sharp Vibrant Display
I was especially surprised by how much 'Instant On' matters in practice. Going back to anything else feels painfully sluggish.
The Mac Book Air may have yesterday's spec, but the user experience oddly feels like it's from the future.
