Since its launch yesterday by Steve Jobs, there are numerous reactions about the MacBook Air (Pro and Cons) over the web or on our forum. Hereafter are photos sent by our team member Moose who is covering the MWSF: The last one illustrates the difference in Apple notebook offer by comparing the MacBook Pro (on the right) with the MacBook Air (on the left) (photo from one of our sources, taken in London). It is clear that the MacBook Air is much thinner and lighter than the other MacBook. Of course it has a cost, especially for the number of output/input, but it brings a true value in term of weight, an important point for users on the move. A single USB port might well be the main limiting factor as it will only allow you to extend function with peripherals such as (external SuperDrive, Ethernet adaptor, external HD, 3G+ USB adaptor,...). A USB hub will most likely become quickly necessary when back to the desk. One can also complain that it "only" features 5 hours of battery lifetime, or a hardly replaceable battery, or to be still to heavy for a true sub notebook, or too large, etc... Nevertheless, according to our information, all people having touched and play with it were convinced that it is a great product, especially our team members who usually carry their notebook in their backpack. The MacBook Air is mostly targeting users on the move, not requiring special peripherals or features, other than having a notebook, light, with good battery lifetime on which one can work with office suite and edit text or data. In other words, it could well be the perfect notebook to be used in Corporate, taking into account the nice Time Capsule released yesterday allowing Mac and PC to share and communicate flawlessly. Regarding the price, it is balanced considering the technology included in this notebook (LED backlighted display and keyboard). Of course the SSD option is expensive, and one should most likely chose the HD-based model, hoping that third party SSD will become cheaper in the future.
