Very light and portable, not that great for 3d gaming as it has an integrated graphics card, although the newer MBA should improve a bit on that. It's great for when you have to do a lot of typing/editing/etc on it and the SSD really makes it fly. The 11" MBA is even lighter and more portable and has a beefier cpu as well as 4GB RAM standard now. (2011 11" MBA had 2GB) The 13" has excellent battery life at 7hrs, but the 11" isn't too shabby at 5hrs. I also have the new Ipad (2012; 64GB WiFi) and it is really great for all around things. The Retina display is gorgeous and it is very handy to have around and very portable. Battery life is also great at ~10hrs and I usually just leave it on all the time. |
Thank you for sharing your experiences.
I'm more inclined to get the new MBA 2012 soon but it's way more expensive.
The filesystem and the keyboard is important for me. I have to waste more time with iPad too but I thing there are things I can't do with it.
