The good:
- Ultra-thin design. 0.76 inches at the thickest part!
- Just 1.36 Kg.
- 13.3" LED display, 1280x800.
- Backlit keyboard.
- 802.11n and Bluetooth. Rocking fast WiFi!
- Multi-touch trackpad.
- Pretty decent 1.6-1.8GHz Intel Core2Duo and 2 GB RAM.
- MagSafe power cord, 45W power adapter.
- More environmentally friendly than its predecessors.
- €1550 at the Apple Store Education. Obviously not the cheapest computer in the world, but the thinnest Sonys start at €2000.
- No optical drive (though: external superdrive is available, and it can mount optical drives wirelessly).
- No ethernet adapter (usb dongle sold separately at €29).
- No FireWire, just one USB port.
- You cannot order a BTO MacBook Air with more than 2 GB memory.
- 80 GB PATA HDD, 64 GB SSD available for €879. The SSD is pricey, but the 80 GB drive is enough for such a small computer (which definitely is not meant to replace any model in the MacBook lineup).
- 5h battery life. Pretty good for such a small laptop, but not that much impressive for Apple.
