MacBook Air, how sweet it is…

MacBook_Air

How sexy is this laptop computer? As a dyed-in-the-wool PC man, I still find myself very impressed with the form factor. Sometimes it really could be form over function for me. The price was a bit high compared to comparable thin-line computers. Still, it is very cool. :o)

So what does the kid get. Ever heard of Lenovo?

Lenovo

Saved about a grand, and that ain’t chump change. As I use this as a portal to the Internet and movie watching platform on airplanes, this does the job for me. Since I have a network at home, I didn’t buy the DVD burner and got the extra long-life battery pushing the battery life to something over nine hours. Sweet. Oh, and did I mention Lenovo has the highest customer sat rating for laptops? Double sweet. Sorry Elaine, I didn’t find out about this until after you asked me.

    It is WAY cool.  My boy has the top  of the line MAC.  :-)  We have always been MAC people..but work circumstances forced us to PC’s (The Dark Side we like to call it) and one of us had to go to a PC at home as well…but the MAC is over on the table.  :-)Peace.  😉

    I’m jealous!I’ve had great luck with the old IBM’s and it seems that Lenovo has continued with putting out high quality products.

    The biggest mistake I see with laptops is that a lot of people want to run serious games, SQL server (okay, that’s a joke), and other high powered apps. I’ll get over nine hours battery life because of the special low-power chip, no CD/DVD drive and such. Laoch’s question is a sleeper as many long-life laptops get the longer life by using a lower and harder to read screen resolution. The laptop is all about staying connected when I travel. There won’t be very much on it other than the two Internet browsers, where I do practically everything, and a couple of movies to watch on the airplane.
