Programs launch fast, and I have yet to experience any system lag or
slow-down; I did a test by running the following programs
simultaneously: Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Dreamweaver CS5, Microsoft
Excel, iTunes, Google Earth, Google Chrome and VLC Player. I had
documents open in each Adobe/Microsoft program, music playing in iTunes,
a sample movie playing on VLC, and streaming video in Chrome while I
used Google Earth - and the MacBook Air didn't even flinch. I could
switch from program to program and there was no slow-down whatsoever.
Being a primarily Windows guy for the better part of 15 years, this was
refreshing.
USER INTERFACE
I remember trying to use a Windows
netbook once and absolutely hated it - the keys felt cheap, the layout
felt cramped, and response was sporadic. I was initially concerned that
the 11" MacBook Air keyboard would feel the same, but when they say
"full-sized keyboard" they mean it. I can type just as fast on the
MacBook Air as I can on a regular desktop keyboard. The spacing of the
keys, and more importantly the feel of the keys, is excellent. The
latest MacBook Air's (mid-2011+) have a lighted keyboard (which mine
does) and they implemented it perfectly. I like the fact that you can
set the keyboard lighting to a comfortable brightness, and then OSX will
automatically adjust the brightness compared to ambient light
automatically.
Being a Windows user I was also wondering if I
would be able to use Apples "single button track pad" but you know what?
It only took me an hour or two to get used to using the track pad and
OSX's very useful multi-touch gestures. One thing that caught my eye
about the track pad - it's very precise. In Adobe Photoshop I can
control the cursor with precision that I could only match with a mouse
on a Windows machine. My previous Windows laptops' track pads pale in
comparison, so much that I would always factor in a wireless mouse into
the budget when buying a Windows computer.
EXTRAORDINARY SCREEN
For
being only 11" in size, the MacBook Air's screen is amazing. Initially I
thought I'd have something similar to a Windows Netbook due to the size
similarities, but the MacBook Air's display is more comparable to my
previous 15.6" 1080 HD laptop. Type is crisp, and the only time you'll
realize that you're working with a smaller screen is if you run programs
that use fixed-size pallets.
EXCELLENT BATTERY LIFE
With
normal usage (web browsing, mail, some YouTube visits, etc.) I get
around 5.5-6 hours in between charges. When I have to use Adobe CS that
drops down to around 4.5 hours from my experience. It's weird not having
to plug the AC adaptor into the MacBook Air every night before I sleep
(which is what I used to do with my Windows computer.)
THE LOOK AND FEEL OF QUALITY
From its aluminum unibody to the texture of the keyboard keys to the
responsiveness and precision of the track pad, you know that the MacBook
Air is a high-quality product. Nothing feels cheap - from the way the
screen hinge moves to the fact that every external port is machined into
the aluminum body, not a plastic faceplate. Even the Magsafe power
connector snaps into place with a convincing click. There is no Windows
laptop this size that I've ever seen that can match the quality that the
MacBook Air possesses - and believe me, I shopped around A LOT for a
Windows laptop before I chose the MacBook Air. Did I forget to say that
the MacBook Air looks beautiful? Well it does.
