I acquired an 11” MacBook Air shortly after its release a couple months ago. It has a 1.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of RAM and a 128 GB flash drive. Though I’ve not tweeted much about it, every time I do, I get questions about its performance, especially from a design and…
I’ll conclude by answering the question asked most often in the replies to my tweets about the Air: Can the 11” MacBook Air serve as a primary computer? I’m not yet convinced it can. I consider it to be passable for the daily rigors of design, development, and editing work, but only marginally. I could be convinced otherwise, though, with more than a single day of testing. (The more powerful 13” 1.86GHz model might perform better, but I doubt by much.)
But I remind you this is not why I purchased my Air. As a compact, lightweight laptop for emailing, browsing, doing projects in Pages and Keynote, and the occasional overtime work, it performs beautifully. In this regard, I couldn’t be happier with it.
