The MacBook Air: Thoroughly Reviewed
AnandTech - "Before we get anywhere in this review, we have to have the talk. A friend of mine likes to call this talk a DTR, or Defining the Relationship. Usually with her it refers to something romantic but with the MacBook Air there are many similarities. It needs to be very clear what your expectations are of it and what sort of relationship you plan on having with the notebook in order to avoid something unpleasant."

Lightweight new MacBook Air is heavy-duty
Mike Wendland - "When Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the new ultra-slim MacBook Air notebook computer at last month's big MacWorld expo in San Francisco, I was impressed but skeptical of what lay under the lid. I thought the 3-pound MBA, as it's known, was, excuse the pun, just too lightweight. I questioned whether the tradeoffs necessary to pack so much in such a tiny package justified its steep $1,795 starting price."

The Truth about MacBook Air Battery Life
AnandTech - "When Steve Jobs announced that the MacBook Air would have a 5 hour battery life, I laughed. Short of Apple sticking a hydrogen fuel cell in the Air there was simply no way you were going to get 5 hours out of this thing under any sort of heavy usage. What shocked me even more is how few questioned the 5 hour figure. Have we all forgotten about optimistic battery life ratings? I like to give Apple the benefit of the doubt and not call out RDF whenever a new product with exciting features launches but seriously folks - 5 hours?"
