  • TUAW: Life with the MacBook Air (April 5, 2008)
    • "Obviously the MBA isn't for everyone. It's a specific Mac for a specific kind of Mac user and it does have its drawbacks. Still, the pluses of its design, style, size, weight and features far outweigh any negatives for me."
  • Macworld: MacBook Air: The proof's in the packing (March 25, 2008)
    • "For people who value light weight, and are willing to give up other features to get it, the MacBook Air is a compelling machine."
  • CNET Blogs: MacBook Air's thinness, flash drive point to notebook future (February 19, 2008)
    • "Its basic concept--a relatively high-performance notebook PC in an incredibly thin and lightweight package--will be copied by all the major notebook suppliers. Even with the Air's well-publicized shortcomings (which I won't repeat here), that's a good thing."
  • ComputerWorld: Hands-on: The MacBook Air beyond the hype (February 15, 2008)
    • "The more time I spent with the Air, the more I came to see it as analogous to having a second car in your driveway. A MacBook or MacBook Pro represents the family hauler, basically doing everything you need for it to do with all the space and horsepower you could want. The Air is more like the weekend two-seater convertible that you enjoy driving even more, but only for specific reasons."
  • AnandTech: The MacBook Air: Thoroughly Reviewed (February 13, 2008)  Angie: Very comprehensive, in-depth review
    • "The problem is that in the quest for small size and ultimate lightness, a number of sacrifices are made. Performance, keyboard, screen size/resolution, expansion, durability, battery life and price are all areas that you have to make sacrifices in if you want an ultra portable notebook."
  • InfoWorld: Product review: MacBook Air is light as, well, air (February 11, 2008)

    • "It might set you back a few extra bucks, but you'll be the coolest kid on your block."
  • Macworld: Getting testy with the MacBook Air (February 7, 2008)
    • "And after testing several incremental upgrades to pre-existing Macs, I was looking forward to the Air—something brand new, a breath of fresh air, if you will. But, after spending some time testing the MacBook Air, the only thing in the air around the Macworld Lab were words one can't reprint in a family publication."
  • NotebookReview: MacBook Air Review (February 6, 2008)  WARNING: Ad-heavy
    • "Apple is pushing the envelope (cough cough) with the MacBook Air ... in various ways that some people will love and others will hate. On one hand they offer a super thin, lightweight design, but on the other they take away ports and give you a permanent battery. "
  • AppleInsider: MacBook Air (HDD model): an in-depth review (February 4, 2008)  WARNING: Pop-ups
    • "The Air trades off some high end features of the MacBook Pro to slim down in size and weight, and trades off the economy of the MacBook in order to deliver a desirable punch that matches its razor thin outline."
  • Ars Technica: Thin is in: MacBook Air Review (February 3, 2008)
    • "It's not perfect by any means, and we hope to see Apple make improvements upon the Air with future iterations."
  • AppleInsider: What's wrong with the MacBook Air? (February 2, 2008)  WARNING: Pop-ups
    • "It's almost as if Apple made a list of practical features that consumers actually use, and based its engineering decisions upon that, rather than simply assembling the specifications everyone else was shipping in a similarly identical form factor."
  • PC Magazine: "Apple's MacBook Air Will Soar" (February 1, 2008)
    • "It seems, however, that almost everybody has missed the real significance of the MacBook Air. Sure, it's a very thin laptop that a lot of serious road warriors will buy, but its greatest importance lies in the fact that it will attract hundreds of thousands of new customers. All of these folks are going to flock to the Apple stores to see it first hand and while they're there..."
  • CNN.com: MacBook Air revisited (February 1, 2008)  WARNING: Pop-ups

  • NotebookReview.com: MacBook Air First Thoughts Review (January 31, 2008)  WARNING: Ad-heavy
    • "The MacBook Air is quite simply the most stunning notebook we've seen in recent memory. There just isn't any way to prepare yourself for the thinness of this notebook until you hold it in your hands for the first time."
  • BusinessWeek: Further Reflections on the MacBook Air (January 31, 2008)
    • "As long as you are not hobbled by its limitations, the Air is a joy to use."
  • WashingtonPost.com: "Little Laptop, Big Deal" (January 31, 2008)  WARNING: Pop-ups
    • "But on closer examination, the Air looks more like a clever engineering exercise than a fully realized product. Apple had to leave out a lot to flatten this computer to a maximum thickness of three-quarters of an inch."
  • Macworld: MacBook Air: Making the migration (January 28, 2008)
    • "One of the oddities of the MacBook Air is, as a system without a FireWire port, an optical drive, or an accessible hard drive, the act of reinstalling Mac OS X and migrating your files from your old system to this new one is more complicated than it has been in the past."
  • Engadget: MacBook Air Review (January 25, 2008)
    • "The Air is a tough call. On the one hand it proposes to be a no-compromises ultraportable, but on the other hand it compromises many (but not all) the things road warriors want... Give us the lovechild of the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro, and it's all over."
  • ZDNet: Apple MacBook Air Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz - 13.3" TFT Review & Comparison (January 25, 2008)
    • "The design is revolutionary, but Apple's MacBook Air will appeal to a smaller, more specialized audience than the standard MacBook, thanks to a stripped-down set of connections and features."
  • PC World: Apple's MacBook Air Laptop : First Lab Tests (January 24, 2008)
    • "Our tests reveal that the slower processor and disk make the MacBook Air quite a bit slower than the other portables in Apple's product line."
  • Engadget: MacBook Air is the slowest Apple machine on the block (January 24, 2008)
    • "Yes, you can officially call the MacBook Air the slowest machine Apple makes -- but you already figured as much, right? No one buys an ultraportable for its real ultimate power."
  • The Wall Street Journal: "Apple's MacBook Air Is Beautiful and Thin, But Omits Features" (January 24, 2008)
    • "If you value thinness, and a large screen and keyboard in a subnotebook, and don't watch DVDs on planes or require spare batteries, the MacBook Air might be just the ticket. But if you rely on spare batteries, expect the usual array of ports, or like to play DVDs on planes, this isn't the computer to buy."
  • Switched: First MacBook Air Reviews In, and They're Not Entirely Positive (January 24, 2008)
    • "The Air is sexy, but just like those impractical roadsters a lot of people own but keep in the garage except on sunny afternoons, it's not really meant to be your only means of getting about."

    • "Though I can quibble with a few of Apple's choices of what to take off, the product's dimensions and design make the case that the losses were not in vain. The things that Apple left on were the ingredients for a quality computer."
  • Green IT: MacBook Air gets a rave review from Greenpeace (January 21, 2008)
