MacBook Air : Insight, Shortcomings and Switching to Mac


In this post, I will take a break from iPad applications for a change and will discuss the new Apple MacBook Air and the Lion OS powering it.

Most of you must be using personal laptops or planning to get one. Laptop users fall into the following categories.
  1. Looking for a replacement for your desktop, not planning to carry around while travelling: It should be running a very powerful processor, good storage and weight is not a major consideration.
  2. Looking for powerful multimedia machine or hard core gaming machine: ex: Alienware / Toshiba Qosimo (Windows)/ MacBook Pro (OSX)
  3. You are a frequent traveller and like to carry it around, not ready to compromise on power, need for seamless integration with your mobile devices, iPad, iPhone etc.. and to complement your desktop while at home.
  4. You want a jack of all Laptop which will replace your desktop and like to carry around while travelling. You need power, features, light weight, good amount of storage, good multimedia features and running your favorite OS. You are the most difficult one to get satisfied, since mostly you are chasing something which is nonexistent.
  5. You are a frequent traveller and looking for an ultra-light laptop mainly used for browsing and emailing, which need s to be ultra cheap too. A Netbook may satisfy you. If you are ready to compromise on cost for elegance, go for an iPad or wait for upcoming ultra-notebooks
