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.

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

...after owning an older generation acer which was awful. This one couldnt be more different.
Its features include an ' Intel celeron M 1.3GHz ', 'Acer Invilink IEEE 802.11b/g' an amazing '40gb hardrive', an awsome 'dvd-dual drive' and, finally, in my opinion the most awe inspiring thing of them all, a stunning 15'' lcd monitor.
This brilliant peice of engineering brilliance is unbelievably good for both online and disc gaming, flawlessly showing ...

Advantages: fingerprint authentication, fast, good sized screen Disadvantages: heavy, battery life is not very long
...There's no need to be wary of the Lenovo brand. One minor complaint that I have is it seems like the battery life is awfully short and the laptop is a bit heavy which makes it annoying (at least for me as a woman) to carry around. ...
