CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.7

out of 10

The good: Incredibly thin yet surprisingly sturdy; new touchpad gesture controls are very useful; remote optical drive makes living without a built-in drive much easier.

The bad: Very limited connectivity; slower than other MacBooks; SSD hard-drive option is ridiculously expensive and standard hard drive is small; battery is not replaceable.

The bottom line: 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.

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Size, weight, ability to take Win & Mac OS
Cons: Lack of additional USB ports
Opinion:
Tried this product and am very impressed with this. Pricing is acceptable considering that it can be used directly out of the box. Any modifications (addons) particularly the SSD-HD would be too expensive. Having said that, it's still plenty cheaper than Lenovo X300.

Qutie good.

Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Very good design, LED screen and keyboard backlight, multi-touch trackpad
Cons: Slow hard drive speed.
Opinion:
The Macbook Air is quite good overall, with a good design, LED glossy screen, keyboard backlight, full Macbook sized Keyboard, Multi-Touch trackpad featuring the iPhone gestures such as swipe, rotate, ...

What I don't like is the slow hard drive speed and the little amount of hard drive space that it has.

Good for a person who is always traveling and has 1)A protable hard drive or 2)An Online Storage service.
