Ronin Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I am a huge fan of these machines. Although I have warmed up to the new iPad2, I still think this is the superior mobile computing platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rek001 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I think I'd rather have this than the new iPad. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swdivad Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Now that looks really nice... but, I tried a Mac, and just couldn't get used to it, maybe I'm too complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks guys! @plaifender - uhh....no This thing is amazing!!! As for battery life I am currently getting close to 6 hours on a charge. Just simple browsing and such. Nothing too crazy. As for the comparison between this and the iPad. Well, the iPad (especially the new one) is pretty slick. I personally love having a keyboard and this thing only weighs a 1/2 pound more than the iPad2. It's about the same size when folded (maybe a bit thicker in the back end), but the fact that it is a complete, full featured computer is what sells it for me. The fact that I can do everything I can do on it's larger brother (15" i7 Macbook Pro with 8 GB RAM) is very impressive to me. Yes, it is slower, but it sure doesn't feel like it is. Especially when on the internet. It feels snappier on the internet than my Macbook Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbutlerman Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Congrats Red! I love my AIr too! Mine is a little older and a little bigger (1st Gen 13"), but it is great. I can push about 4 hours on a full charge when browsing the internet and the screen dimmed a bit...I don't use it as much as I used to (for couch potato surfing my iPad replaced it), but when I need to do anything serious, I bust out the air...

BGGodwin Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'm jealous! I have a Dell on its last leg (I will NEVER buy another Dell, nothing but problems) and I have an iPad. When my Dell finally kicks it, I think I may do a MacBook Pro... Everyone says Macs are the way to go, maybe I'll see if they are bluffing!

And the customer service is incredible. I bought my parents a white macbook for Christmas in 2006. In the summer last year it started over heating. They took it to the Genius Bar and they fixed it for free!!! Try that with a Dell or HP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
