Now that Macs can run Windows, I am glad I can buy Macs and get the best of both worlds. I purchased my Macbook Air for school. I am a Sophomore at college and I have used a Macbook Pro, an HP Laptop, and most recently an iPad. The first two were bulky and added a lot of weight to my backpack. I ended up leaving the laptops at home and using campus computers instead, negating the purpose of even having a laptop.
Next, I tried an iPad. While it was super easy to carry around and beautiful to use, it wasn't as functional as I'd have liked due to the restrictive software (iOS) and lack of ability to help me with programming in my computer science degree plan.
I took a chance and bought the Macbook Air and was instantly relieved of these problems. It is incredibly light, thus enabling me to carry it around in my backpack and hardly know it is there at all. You can hold it between your thumb and finger with no problem, it is so light. It is VERY quiet. I rarely hear the fan come on. The screen has a great resolution, and the newer features brought from the Macbook Pro (back-lit keyboard, for example) are a great addition. I have a Corsair Voyager GT USB 3.0 flash drive and transferring files is insanely quick thanks to the two USB 3.0 ports. Having one on each side helps a lot. I have been getting comments about how nice the laptop is. Please note, I don't use this for gaming so I can't say how powerful it really is.
I have not encountered any Wifi issues as some have said. I did have a little bit of a problem getting Bootcamp to install Windows 7 because it didn't like my USB drive for that. I had to borrow someone else's drive but it worked a charm then. I enjoy flipping to Windows to do my programming at school, then switching back to OSX to browse the web and watch movies. This is the best laptop I have ever bought.

I wanted to purchase an Ultrabook (i.e., the PC version of the Air), but it seemed they all had either extreme flaws or annoying quirks. I have had an iPhone for years, as well as an iPad, but this is my first experience of any sort with an Apple straight computer after using solely PCs for about 20 years. It took about 20 minutes to get accustomed to the various gestures necessary to operate the Air quickly. It is truly an intuitive device, it's ultra-lightweight, and MS Office for Mac works great. The image quality is also outstanding --- a 13" screen with 1440 x 900 is crisp and clear. The Retina display certainly looks amazing, but I can't think of a good reason to pay the huge premium, unless you do computer graphics for a living (I'm a lawyer). I recommend the Air, even to professionals/business-oriented users.

It's light, it's durable, and, as Apple states, it's ready for anything. The MacBook Air is back for another generation and keeps a slender aluminum skeleton. It's sleek, dazzling, and fits just about anywhere. Typing in the dark isn't a problem with its stunning backlit keys and bright, energy-conserving screen. It's very light and "airy", specially considering the fact it's made of metal. It's convenient, has a long battery life, and is undeniably a minuteman underneath its glamorous shell.
Coming from Windows, I'll be honest and say that taking on a Mac was a daunting challenge. The interface was completely foreign to me, and I'd never so much as touched a Mac before. I knew absolutely nothing about it and yet, just on the first night, it became so easy to use. Mission Control and Launchpad are outstanding features that I wish my PC could have. It makes navigating so much more simple, and you can easily find what program you want when you want it. This computer obviously wanted to make a good impression, and that it did. I was no longer terrified of the glory that was Apple's MacIntosh, and I was so glad I gave it a chance.
This computer is perfect for anyone, really, especially the Windows fanatic that needs to be proved wrong at times. A MacBook Air is just as simple to use as your home PC and makes typing comfortable. MacBooks are built for the modern business world and aren't afraid to join hands with an unorganized owner. It never moves slowly in the morning and again, can be for anyone who's willing to give it a shot. I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who knows how to take care of it.
