"I purchased this laptop after I sold my Macbook Pro 17inch which was getting old and too heavy to lug around conveniently. I have an iMac for video and Photoshop heavy lifting and wanted something light and easy to carry around.I can't get over how quick it is. Windows seven running under boot camp is faster than any of my late model Windows machines at work and it was easy to install.This machine is perfect, fast SSD and it runs cool even after hours of use on my lap. My macbook pro needed something under it to keep my legs from burning after a few minutes.
I have been a Mac user for about 6 years now and this machine is the best one yet. The price is very reasonable considering the performance compared to other laptops in this price range. Battery life is also better than any laptop I have ever owned. Its also darn good looking and light, less than 2 lbs. Buy one, you will not be disappointed !!!"

Flash Memory Storage

Additionally, Apple has shed the enclosure that typically surrounds flash memory (usually about exactly the same size as being a standard hard drive), thus giving it an inferior footprint and helping to decrease the scale in the MacBook Air.
