I have had this item since Jan 2014, still going strong after three years of use . Very good for taking abroad to use as it is very light . In a lot of ways it is better than the latest offering from Apple as it has the MagSafe power connector and full size USB ports negating the need for additional adaptors .These are items that will now have to be purchase separately. At home it connects easily to my peripherals including the TV which I use air play to connect therefore not needing a cable and it works well .

I've had my laptop for roughly two years now and, although very light, this computer dents easily, making a case a must. Not only this but the scree is unprotected, making it much more likely to be damaged. This, combined with the fragility of the support mechanism ( which holds the screen up) and my inability to clean or repair it without having to consult the over priced and perpetually busy "Apple Care" leave much to be desired. The easy to use interface, backlit keyboard and slick design are very nice features, and help balance out the cons. When it eventually breaks I will probably purchase a PC instead BUT I am still grateful I own this laptop, as it is capable of many tasks.

Bought this product few hours ago and was really happy to get it but as it turn out its bad, as it wont start and it showed prohibitory sign upon turning on. Now this not what you expect from Apple products,it didn't even turn on as now have to drive all the way to the stor stop for one day and get it to Apple to get it fixed. Really disappointed.

My laptop has been slow ever since about 4 months after I bought it. It has had to be reset on a regular basis for numerous issues. The internet always drops out and sometimes it won't connect when my windows will fine. I would never buy a mac again because they are overpriced for what you get and don't last long at all. I payed over $2000 for mine, if I'd bought a windows version I could've got a way better one. If I'd known how troublesome it would be I wouldn't have paid more than $300 for it.

It's a nice, sleek looking laptop & it has a nice feel to it. It's able to do numerous tasks but then again, there are numerous tasks it can't do. A big dissapointment is the small amount of memory, I
highly recommend buying external memory for this laptop. If your an Apple fan you should be fairly satisfied, it is a neat laptop.

The MacBook Air is one of Apple's lighter but compact notebooks out there on the market. Owning and still using an older 11-inch MBA model myself, this notebook is an ideal product for those who enjoy and do light internet browsing from YouTube videos to Facebook, to creating documents and presentations and even video conference calls via Skype. It is a very versatile product which is evident in its look, weight and size. While it is not a powerhouse for heavy tasks such as video/graphics editing, it certainly is a product for those on the go, especially for school/university students.

The macbook air is a brilliant device, it is very thin like a piece of paper. The screen is bright and beautiful not dull and boring like some other laptops you can get on the market right now. It is a bit of a disappointment that it doesn't have a hdmi outlet making you go out and buy a mini display port to hdmi adapter. Other than that this is the best laptop i have ever used. This size is better than the 13 inch!

So if you are looking for a laptop for everyday use buy a macbook air 11 inch because you wont even know its there (because if the lightness).

Love my macbook air but the only negative thing was the camera randomly stopped working after I did an update. I took it into apple and they couldn't fix it so they gave me a new computer (not complaining here!)

Defiinitely worth getting apple care for.

Also love that i can run all my design programs and not get bogged down or slowed down when i have Adboce CS5, illustrator and Photoshop all running at once.
can fit in manbag, light, powerful
camera broke, need to get apple care

I bought the 11" Macbook Air at the Sydney Airport last year for approximately $1200. The only downside was I bought the 11" instead of the 13". The screen is a bit small. I take this laptop with me whenever I travel as it is very lightweight and easy to carry. The design is sleek and with 128g I can store lots of data. I would recommend the 13" Macbook Air to my friends.
lightweight.
The screen is small with 11".

I absolutely love my MacBook Air 11 inch - it is so fast, beautiful and intuitive! However I would highly recommend getting the bigger sized hardrive and maybe even the 13 inch screen. I absolutely love the 11 inch and got this size because I have a monitor as well, but sometimes without the monitor it can be hard to read the text ... But that being said I love it to bits, it is teeny tiny and so stylish! Amazing to type on.
Stylish, tiny, intuitive, pretty
Not the best battery life and not enough internal memory

I have always been a Windows PC user and never thought of Apple laptops before. It was until I laid my eyes on the MacBook Air 11" 2010 model. I bought it and never looked back again. It is so light and extra fast. It simply makes me love using it.
Everything about it is perfect. Small, fast, light weight, reliable.

Best laptop ever. It is small and ultrathin and the battery lasts ages. OSX works really well.

I have the 2GB 11" 128GB model. The hard drive is extremely fast and the overall operation is quick. I run Windows 7 on it in a VirtualBox environment and it does that really well too which I doubted it would give it only has a Core 2 processor.

For what I use it for which is Internet and Email using MS Office for Mac 2011 it is great. Not a gaming machine however. I was surprised by its performance running Windows 7 in a virtual environment.
