Macbook Air

Remember that post from a few days ago where I was upset about shipping times? Scrap that. It came this morning. Over the last 2 days I have watched it go from Shanghai, China to Alaska and then this morning I watched it go from Alaska to Indianapolis and then back upto Cedar Rapids and then to Moline and finally here. All apparently in the space of 8 hours.

It’s a beautiful piece of equipment. The USB compartment is magnetic by the way, which means it clicks shut. The USB port is a bit fiddly to fit things into though. The screen is awesomely glossy. The apple logo on the back is bigger. It feels like you’re holding an expensive piece of equipment but not like a heavy piece. The best bit about it? The keyboard, it is an awesome keyboard although, I don’t think the EJECT keyboard button was needed. The power does work in my Macbook Pro but the Pro randomly doesn’t get connectivity.

    Marko: I didn’t because I felt it was unnecessary - at least for now. I can’t remember the last time I used the CD drive. But when I’m starting to travel again, I’ll probably get the ethernet port and an optical drive.

    Nice piece of hardware! :)

    You might get a very small access point instead of the ethernet port.

    Should do the same job. and a lot cheaper, more mobile and multifunction.

    if you go to a hotel that has ethernet plug with internet, you just plug the access point on it, and all over the room you have wifi, even at the swimming pool if not too far ;)
