Apple MacBook Air User Review
NotebookReview - "The world's thinnest notebook is the catchphrase Apple uses to try and sell you its new laptop, the MacBook Air. But is it much more than that? Or does being thin all it has going for it? At 0.16" at its thinnest point, it is indeed thin, but what compromises had to be made in order to fit an entire Mac into a package this thin that weighs only 3 lbs? Indeed, lots of compromises had to be made, but it's up to you decide to what extent these compromises will affect you."

Apple's MacBook Pro with 128GB SSD
AnandTech - "While 2009 may end up being the first year that we see widespread adoption of SSDs (Solid State Drives) in notebooks, 2008 will go down as the year that it all started happening. My experience with a SSD on the MacBook Air was an overwhelmingly positive one. While most application usage performance didn't improve, boot and application start times were noticeably quicker. Also, amazingly enough, battery life was improved by a good 5 - 15% depending on the usage model. I was quite impressed."

Elevate your MacBook
ZDNet - "There's lots of ways to elevate an Apple notebook while you're sitting on the couch (I used to use a telephone book) but a desktop setting requires something a little more sophisticated. MacBooks, no matter the model, can get a little tepid when used for extended periods on your lap. Apple has disclaimed as much, saying that the ubiquitous devices aren't supposed to be used on your lap (hence the advent of the term notebook)."

Make the MacBook better for gaming
Macworld - "When it comes to gaming on the Mac, a really big chunk of Apple’s Mac buyers get left out of the loop. I'm talking about the throngs of consumers—moms, dads, college kids, business people—who have bought MacBooks (and, to a lesser degree, the Mac mini). Because right now, MacBooks stink for games. And the sad thing is, it doesn’t have to be that way."
