Macbook Air (Mid 2011) Setup and First Boot

[MrQt247ha]

does it heat up really quickly? I was planning to buy one but i heard that it heats up like crazy when you get on Skype.... that's pretty bad

[shouldigetit]

@MrQt247ha

Mine doesn't heat up too quick. I think it's just fine.

It is OS ten (X in roman numerals, the successor of Mac OS 9), not "OS ex".

hey guys what would be better, get the personal MacBook Air 11" for my b day or mac mini?

[theJdoggIMS]

It's perfect but only if you have a bigger machine at home or are really good about not downloading a ton of extra crap. I only have the basics. I use mine mainly for word processing, surfing, and watching YouTube while on the go. My 15" handles my more memory heavy stuff at home.

DOES THE 64 GIG SUCK OR WHAT?

[ipodlegoman]

I want the MacBook air so bad

[pickupbuck]

is this 64gb enough in your opinion?

[fail3d0rgas1m]

is it worth it 999 for 64gb



[shouldigetit]

@fail3d0rgas1m Get 128gb.

[tylerisawesome34]

Can you make a video on how you can get a mac? I can't find one anywhere.

[fail3d0rgas1m]

@tylerisawesome34 try a local best buy or an apple store or try amazon

[paco35641]

this is your first mac?

his memory is enough or you had to buy external hard drive?

[shouldigetit]

@paco35641 I also own an iMac 24".

The 2gb is fine and the SSD is great, although I did hook it up to my 2tb drive for backups and iTunes.

@shouldigetit Thanks bro. Can you upload a video of minecraft's performance on this model? If you dont have it I could send it to you. Illegal, of course :P

[shouldigetit]

@headshotz2weak Sorry man, but I think I won't be able to. I can assure you though that it will run smoothly. If anything you can always return it to apple within 14 days :)

[kokaPRinter]

@shouldigetit hey shouldigetit, i have 950$ in my hand right now, but i was saving mored money for the macbook pro 13inch, but i can't wait much longer for a laptop, i need it rush for collage, so im asking you, is this worth it for collage? I mean will it run as smooth as the 13 inch and will have enough storage for my works, movies, music, and that stuff. Im like in a rush right now so if you reply to me it will be great. Thank you and sweet video.

[shouldigetit]

@kokaPRinter This will definitely be more than enough for college. I think its the perfect choice and it should have all the storage you need for college use.

[kokaPRinter]

@shouldigetit Thank you for replying, but still i don't know men.

[headshotz2weak]

Do you recommend this model? Just for small games like Minecraft, Flash Games, Email, Runescape and movies...

Great review though.

[shouldigetit]

@headshotz2weak Definitely. I ran Final Cut Pro x on this like a beast and it handles everything very well. You could easily play mine craft and flash games on this setup and even have a nice battery life to go along with it.

[handsome2302]

The most helpful review of the macbook air 64GB ever. Thank you so much for the review cuz you don't know how long i have been waiting for this to see how fast the scrolling between destop, lauchpad in this version. Again, thank you.

[higherupp]

are you happy with 2gb memory? im thinking about getting one but dont know if its worth another 200 dollars for more memory

[shouldigetit]

@higherupp What are you going to use it for?

[cowtipper239]

@shouldigetit I am going to use it for some movies, documents, visual studio in windows 7 via boot camp and xcode in mac OS lion. (no hardcore photo or video editing). do u think 2gb will be enough for me?

do u notice any lag with 2gb?

[multidani98]

no intro video??????????

[ats1995]

that's impressive, but 64GB???? love ssd, but we have larger sd cards.... no-buy for me:/

[shouldigetit]

@ats1995 You can get up to 256gb in this beast. It's super fast and I love SSD.

[ats1995]

@shouldigetit yes, I know. but still having just 64gb... and the larger ones are expensive, very expensive:/

but I'm not a mac lover, so I'm not objective:):)

[MrQ8center]

at 2:00 .. his hand size is big like mine that covers the entire keyboard and wont give you enough space to use the keypad comfortably and because of that i am choosing the 13" .

[shouldigetit]

@MrQ8center You would think that but I love typing on the MacBook Air. The keyboard is the same size as the one on the Macbook pro and the Apple Wireless keyboard (I have both), everything I've posted on my website since last night and this comment were typed on the MacBook Air.

Would you like me to make a video about the keyboard size and how comfortable it is to type?

[eddiypsilon]

who would ever give this great video a Thumbs Down?

good video :)

[silversubaru]

Found this video because I wanted to see the "first boot video" for Lion. I guess they removed it entirely. It's a shame, because it was one of those little things that made using a Mac different.

magic!

[wangzheyou]

[jandj010]

Hey how did you afford this

[shouldigetit]

@jandj010 Lots of hard work and saving cash.

[jandj010]

[jandj010]

I wish I had a MacBook that buts up in seconds :(. ( my PC is so bad that I turn it on lay down to watch tv and then go to my computer

[shouldigetit]

@jandj010 I remember those days.

Would you like me to do a giveaway of this MacBook Air?
