'As I look at a newly arrived MacBook Air laptop,' writes Dean Takahashi (mercurynews.com), 'it occurs to me there has never been a better time to switch to a Mac.' And he points to the new MacBook Air as 'a great example of the faster innovation' that Apple offers customers. 'The design is attractive and nobody can boast having a thinner notebook computer. It has an innovation dubbed Remote Disc. You install a disk on a desktop's DVD drive. Then you can use your MacBook Air's Remote Disc function to take over the DVD drive and install software into the MacBook Air. It's an innovation that may signal the beginning of the end of disk media.'

'For a lot of people,' says Ken Mingis (computerworld.com), 'smaller and lighter is better when it comes to their laptops.' He considers MacBook Air 'one of the coolest-looking laptops to appear in years - both in terms of size and hipness.' It has 'a gorgeous display that looks sharper and brighter on the Air than it does on the regular MacBook.' And, he says, 'waking it up from sleep mode took about 2 seconds, and the LED backlighting means the screen hit full brightness as soon as it was awake.' As for performance: 'The Air feels just about as snappy as my MacBook Pro in day-to-day use doing the kinds of things most users will be doing: surfing the Web, firing off e-mails, text editing and light graphics work.'
