So first I will say I am coming from a MacBook air 11' mid 2011 with 2GB ram and 64GB harddrive. This one I got has 4GB of ram and 128GB harddrive. I use this laptop mainly for browsing the internet and some programming. Now that you have a little background Ill give a quick review.
From the get go this laptop is MUCH faster then my previous Macbook air. When you open the lid you are ready to go that second. On the old one I would have to wait a little for it to load and if I left chrome up and clicked on it right away then I would get the loading wheel. I havent seen this do it once. That could be because of the harddrive being so much faster.
When I opened the box the laptop was already charged to 91% so im trying to kill it. Well I was on it ALL NIGHT last night and now its the morning and its only at 60%. That battery life is amazing and let me honest thats what we ask for in a laptop.
If you are up in the air about this laptop(no pun intended). I would say give it a go. You could even buy it from the Apple store and if you dont like it just return it.
If you are replacing an older Macbook air and have one thats because the mid 2012 then I would say get it but if you have the mid 2012 I dont know if I would suggest spending the money unless you really want battery. I hope this helps anyone trying to purchase this laptop.
I am not an Apple fan boy. My desktop is a custom build Window machine so I know both worlds. Please if you have any questions just comment and I will be happy to try things for you or just answer questions.
I am a Computer Engineer so im use to testing things so feel free to ask.

I have always thought most apple products were overpriced, with a few exception. I thought no different of this mac book air, until i used it. I was in the market for a computer that was light, worked flawlessly, with a long battery life. I searched for the right computer but was never able to find the right computer. When i decided to try this computer i was hooked. Here are some of the reasons why:
Most of the computers i encountered did the not have such a good battery life, or you needed to get a bigger battery (which adds weight) or a battery sheet (which adds costs). THis computer easily gets 8 hours of heavy duty use, but has gone as high as 15 for me depending on how you use it.
Another reason is that comparatively , it is not that expensive. To get a similar thin, lightweight computer would be expensive even if you bough a windows based one. The mac just looks and feels like a quality computer.
It is so easy to use. I thought it would take a while to get use to but after a day i was already using it it like had been for years. Right out of the box everything just seems to work. NO wifi problems, no freezing, no anything. It just works. If you value your time then this is the computer to get.
THe keyboard feels great when typing. I always wanted to have a similar keyboard for my windows computer at home. I just love the way the keyboard apple feels.
I love the gestures. It makes multitasking and browsing a breeze.
I truly suggest you go to a store and try this product. I would rather spend the money for a quality product that will last me years instead instead of saving a hundred dollars for a mediocre product. I really was not an apple fan, but i give credit where is due and they have done an amazing job with this computer.

A lot has been written about how great the Macbook Air is. I agree, this is a truly fine thing. Forget the "feeds and speeds" metrics so many people seize on (although the performance is pretty good on this for what most people do), I just feel that this thing is in total harmony with me. It is powerful yet light and agile. I have a 13" Macbook Pro and it is great but a bit heavy. The Macbook Air is insanely light and yet very sturdy.
The one thing I really stressed over was whether to get the 11.6 inch model or the 13 inch model. Years ago I had an early netbook. It was nice as a novelty but it was really underpowered. It turned out the 10 inch screen was just too small. The size of the screen on the netbook was just too much of a compromise (my eyesight isn't what it used to be!). I was concerned that the 11.6 inch Macbook Air screen might be too small also. I really wanted to get it instead of the 13 inch screen because to me, getting a larger Macbook Air just seemed to defeat the purpose of getting a small, light computer in the first place. I really wanted the 11.6 inch model to work out. The price difference really wasn't an issue, I just wanted to have the perfect size for me. I saw a few 11.6 and 13 inch models and I thought the 11.6 inch would be okay but I had the nagging feeling that when I started using it, I would regret getting the smaller version. You know how that goes, your first look at something is brief and you don't really get a feel for how you will use it in the real world. Sometimes your initial conclusions turn out wrong and you regret your choice. Well, I took a chance on the 11.6 inch version and after using it for a while, I am really happy with the choice. It is the perfect size for me for a portable computer. If you are struggling with the same decision, I hope this helps.
