The MacBook Air is not a great laptop in its current version; future versions of the MacBook Air may be better.  The current MacBook Air lacks processing power, serious graphics, optical drive, connectivity options and so on and so forth but this has been mentioned time and time again by sites over the whole Internet.  But, what about future versions of the MacBook Air?

Apple’s laptop line has been due for a design change for quite some time; not counting the MacBook Air which is an entirely new product.  The MacBook and MacBook Pro are due for moderate, if not groundbreaking changes.

If you aren’t happy with the default "sleep" behavior of your Macbook or Macbook Pro then you might want to check out an application known as SleepSmart.

It seems that there is no making some people happy.  Around 10 months ago, two professional photograhers from California decided to file a class action lawsuit over MacBook (Pro) displays.

If you are not yet familiar with IBM’s Lenovo’s PC laptop cousin to the MacBook Air, allow me to fill you in.  Lenovo has produced what it calls the “no comprimise” thin and light laptop complete with all the ports and optical drives you will find on larger PC laptops.  Lenovo has seen fit to flame Apple with its ThinkPad X300 laptop.

The popularity of the MacBook Air has surprised me; that doesn’t mean I’ve changed my mind about it but Apple users feel differently.  The MacBook Air is so popular that it has pushed Apple’s share of the computer market to 14% with 20% of its laptop sales accounted for by the MacBook Air.

You may remember a couple days back of a gentlemen who wrote about being detained up by TSA officers at the airport because of the unusual configuration of the MacBook Air.  This information has reached higher-up TSA officials and they are now working to ensure that more of their employees are familiar with the MacBook Air’s configuration.

Don’t travel with new technology if you want to make it through airport security in a timely fashion.  One owner of a MacBook Air was stopped because the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents couldn’t identify the traditional parts of a laptop on it.

Amazon is having a sale on some of their Apple computers. The recently unveiled MacBook Air is on sale, and it happens to be one of their electronic best sellers ranking at #17. Currently you can purchase the MacBook Air at Amazon for $1744.They’ve knocked off $5 from the list price, and they are also including a $50 rebate offer. Apple is currently offering the same computer for $1799. If you can’t take advantage of Apple’s education or employee discount, and you aren’t going to purchase the Apple Care, Amazon would be a great option.

The MacBook Air is as light on features as it is physically weighted.  If one USB port, one monitor out and headphone jack aren’t enough for you then turn your eyes towards the PC world.  Lenovo has created a thin and light laptop that also fits in a manila envelope but isn’t light on features.
