Apple MacBook Air MC506LL/A

The best portable laptop EVER. Can't complain, just praise this little magical piece of state-of-the-art technology. Great in all aspects especially for the constant traveler. Weight is a joke (almost same weight as my cell phone). 10000000000 better than a netbook and comparable to the Mac pros in quality.

I purchased this laptop for my wife as her old HP dv2500SE was starting to show its age. She has recently decided to take up photography and so I thought a Mac would be a great option for her - allowing her to easily organize and edit her pictures and travel (which she does for work).

This laptop is absolutely amazing in appearance. It is easy to type on and read the screen yet is amazingly slim. It is difficult to describe how small its footprint is until you hold it up against a PC laptop with similar screen size and specs. The finish, glowing apple on the back, and minimalist keyboard is sure to make others jealous (if you're into that sort of thing).

As the resident IT person for our house (and professionally) I was wary of purchasing an Apple. My wife has found it intuitive to use and is well on her way to being a Mac expert after only a few days of use. I have played with it a little bit and beyond getting used to the touch pad it isn't that hard to pick up.

Our concerns about the Air not having enough horsepower to let her edit her photos (giant resolution, from a Nikon D90) were put to rest when she imported her first photos from the memory card reader (the 11" requires a separate SDHC reader which makes sense when you look at the side and realize the computer isn't thick enough for one.

The front camera is not 1080p but works very well with facetime (our son can walk around with my iphone and take mommy with him on his adventures around the house. While I would never give up my PC desktop, this little computer is the perfect choice for people who travel a lot and need a moderately powerful computer and full keyboard.
