Our X-mas bonus this year at work was a MacBook Air. I've got a 15" Pro at work; and at home, a 24" iMac, a TabletPC, a Chromebook, a Galaxy Tab, and four smartphones (thank you, Google I/O). The Air felt a little bit like overload at first ("yay - another gadget"), but it quickly became my favorite of the lot.

13" is a great size (I don't miss the extra 2" from my Pro), and it's unbelievably svelte. If I take the bus, I just throw it under my arm - no bag, no charger - just my MacBook Air. It's plenty fast. The screen has great color, and will go as bright or as dim as you need.

Heed this man's advice - get an Air.

I just realized that working outside on a gusty day is a challenge with the Air. I'm a little afraid it's going to blow off the roof.

I can't work outside with it really at all, it's hard to read the screen even in minor light.

Your absolutely right! I've got a Macbook Pro 13" and it's absolutely brilliant! I will never but a non-mac laptop again.
