I personally have found my air adorable but USELESS!!!! I have bought over $1000 worth of extra crap to make it work like a normal computer and it still is not worth it.
No CD- fine pay $99 for one because remote disk is only for applications and not video's etc unless you are a master ripper etc... which I am not.
One USB port so if you don't have a remote printer you have to take out your USB that your file is on to plug in the computer, okay fine...
Migration Assistant is a FARCE- I have spent about 23 hours in total now, trying to get it to work. I have changed my router and purchased a time capsule to try to improve my chances - doesn't work!!! P.S. time capsule is a very overpriced hard disk and it's Wii Fi is nonsense... if you already had a computer (and people say to make the air a second computer) why would you not have had an internet connection before?
Away on business? Only first/business usually has charger- even when charging in first class it sometimes doesn't charge- and p.s. they have regular plugs you don't need the MagSafe Airline adapter (another waste of $53. Battery is NEVER longer than three hours in battery saving settings in full use. Had to stop creating an important presentation just recently.
International traveller? Oh, just wait! Many places i.e. hotels don't have wii fi throughout hotel, maybe in their lobbies or business centers and some hotels, nowhere. In the actual hotel room you usually have to plug in via ethernet to you computer. THERE IS NO ETHERNET PORT!!! Even one of the IT help people I spoke to couldn't believe this was missing! So no internet when far away from home.
Last but not least if you are giving a presentation that requires playing a video, you can not hear the video because their is no jack for outgoing sound... What an absolute joke.
This is my second computer and as that it is useless. I have had to spend so much time with help desks at apple that the wait is always greater than 15 minutes or greater than 25 minutes (WHAT?) And then you are transferred around 3 times!!!
I love apple, so I dealt with all of this because I really wanted this computer to be okay, not great, just okay. It is not! Do not kid yourself. I read a review that said it is great for the "starbucks crowd" which I hated to admit that I thought I may have been. But even the "starbucks crowd" would be annoyed at the battery length. Because of all the accessories I had to carry with my macbook air, my backpack on my last trip was heavier than it would have been if I would have just taken along my MacBoook. And p.s. I bought that MacBook only one year ago and it is not at all compatable with my air because it is a tiger and now the air is a leapord... only one year. I have returned my MacBook Air and feel liberated. I am not anti-apple, I just think they rushed this book out and the way the world is today is not ready for entirely wireless everything. It just doesn't work well.
