The problem is, the MBA battery does not deliver what Apple said it should, that is, five hours of moderate usage with the WiFi turned on. In the Apple support forums, new MacBook Air users are complaining that MBA battery gives them only 2 hours, if at all. There are also reports that the MBA [...]

Well, a team of Japanese PC makers thinks the MBA, Apple’s latest masterpiece of state-of-the-art engineering, is badly designed. Yep, the MacBook Air is built with so many redundancies it is actually more expensive than it should be. Yathink?
Mayuko Uno, a member of the crack laptop team says, Can we say that the MacBook Air [...]

Anandtech did a thorough review of the MacBook Air and found it on the bleeding edge of ultra portable technology. The only problem is that it’s so thin it does not fit into any laptop bag currently available in the market. We’re not talking about fancy Manila envelope sleeves here (AirMail, InterofficMac) or this Studio [...]

Lenovo has announced the X300 ultraportable. While MacBook Air has the faster processor and comes with 2GB of RAM, the X300 fits the description of an ultraportable more faithfully. One thing makes me curious about one item in the X300’s specification, the 13.3-inch screen. It sounds like vindication on Apple’s choice to put 13.3-inch of [...]

Dan Ackerman finally got his professional hands on a MacBook Air. One revelation in his review is the MacBook Air’s heat dissipation. It’s very, very effective. No heat to speak of, even though MBA vents hot air through grills located near its flat bottom. ThoughHere’s the review summary:

Apple claims the MacBook Air battery lasts 5 hours in normal use - normal, meaning with WiFi on, since this is the Air after all.
But Anandtech’s real-world test shows that this claim by Apple does not hold water. The best Anandtech was able to squeeze about the MacBook Air battery is 2.5 hours whil watching [...]

So you’ve bought a MacBook Air and are ready to take it with you on the road, or maybe just as far as the nearest Starbucks. You begin by booting up the laptop, downloading Leopard updates wirelessly and then the next thing you’d want is to transfer files and user profiles from your other [...]

It’s obvious Apple didn’t think it would be used in such a way. They designed the MacBook Air to be ultra-portable, while not making any compromises, i.e. keeping the screen size a decent 13.3. What they didn’t expect is to hear someone using the “cutting-edge” laptop as a deadly weapon. The Ferret (UK newspaper) reports [...]

It only takes 40 minutes to replace the hard disk of a MacBook Pro. If you’re confident enough working with your hands and do not carry static electricity in your person (we all do) then the process may be worth it. Imagine a 320GB storage capacity on a laptop that may very well last five [...]
