To achieve this tiny design, Apple made some sacrifices, both obvious and curious. Losing the optical drive was obvious, and a $99 DVD-RW add-on seems reasonable to us. Less obvious was the omission of Ethernet. Though the device has the most advanced 802.11n Wi-Fi, we don't think this will be enough. Frankly, we're surprised that Apple didn't include any flavor of 3G network, with their good buddy AT&T, perhaps. We're shocked that there isn't an ... ...still recommend a Macbook for Apple enthusiasts who just want something simple. The Air is for road warriors, but it doesn't serve that community as well as it could. Beyond the wireless internet accessory, we think Macbook Air users are going to find themselves carrying lots of accessories and extra cables. The Superdrive is one. A memory card reader is another. No reason why Apple couldn't simply tack on an SD card reader, the rest of the industry ...

Advantages: Thin, light, tightly built Disadvantages: Very poor screen that malkes this laptop useless.

Advantages: good for beginners, very personable, easy to use and manuever Disadvantages: I wish it came with a carrying case :(
I have an Acer Labtop and I love it! I spent less money on my labtop then I have previously on other labtops and I enjoy and love this product more. My family and friends told me not to buy the Acer product because they were cheap but I didn't listen and I have to say, money wise this acer product is cheap but product wise, this was the best investment I have ever made. What is even cooler is I'm writing a review about the Acer Aspire with my very ...
