  • @EvanProductions2 almost everyone knows that a netbook Intel Atom processor is much slower than any Core based processor. The original Air's 1.6GHz processor was a Core 2 Duo and it scored over 2000 points on geekbench and compare that to a Atom based netbook which is as slow as my 9 year old Mac which scores 600 in geekbench.

  • Macbook Air... known to be the best laptop out there in this generation.. now... I totally agree on this. I had an older PC, thats called a Toshiba but it was old and whacked.. and the more you download some things on the Toshiba, the more it's going to harm your computer and make it much slower. I have had a Macbook Air for 2 years. I've been using it a lot and it's been running fast ever since I bought it in spring 2009. What the hell... the Macbook Air isn't an epic fail.

  • 1.6GHZ PROCESSOR! MY SISTERS NETBOOK IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THIS!

  • what did you say i was to distracted by the poster in the back!!!!

  • Every time I come to a video to with Apple products the comments are always full of idiots going on about Windows PCs. You can't compare a Mac and a PC on Spec alone there's so much more to a Mac than that.

    It's like saying a skoda is just has good as a Rolls Royce because they both do the same thing.

  • @ShutUpAndListen79 its a computer... it makes a difference because i could just pay a quarter of the price of this on a pc and install mac os on it... because the specs that macs come with for the price they come with is completely too little for way to much money. You are paying for nothing except an apple logo and apple knows and loves it.

  • @FieryTigerWolf I was a PC devotee, was given an unused original Air and now my PC pretty much sits off most of the time, had the PC custom built in January and the 4 year old air trumps it majorly in terms of user experience. I personally love mine :P

  • @Elreddo fair enough.. i agree that the Macs operating system is better.. but in no way is the hardware any better which is what they overprice.

  • @FieryTigerWolf yeah, agree with you there bud, should get better specs for the money, the Mac Pro with all the options is 15 grand! Must say though, in terms of materials, build quality and engineering the Apple line is pretty damn solid :)

  • @FieryTigerWolf failure

  • its a glorifided ipad not a computer and until people realize this they are going to be dissapointed

  • just crap...

  • the price i so unbeliebable... only guys who don't know what to do with thier money buys such crap...my netbook is as good as the maacbook and around 900 Dollar cheaper...

  • @checkermanhans yeah, my nc10 does more than this, and i customized windows to look like mac os x. my netbook was only £390...

  • £1,200.00 for that pile of shit? wtf

  • @Thenicereviewguy the new one is a lot better

  • @MrMickle28 yeah its a lot better with the USB port function taken away, no battery installed and lack of a harddrive making it lighter so you can throw it out of your window further when the battery dies, thanks but no thanks i have a real computer its called a PC

  • @Thenicereviewguy I have a windows based pc at home though.. and when it comes to portability etc.. which a laptop aspires to, the next generation 'air' is really great.

  • @Thenicereviewguy FUCK YEAH!

  • @Thenicereviewguy It was in 2008...

  • @vajksziget7a in 2008 i paid £500 for a pc that has over twice the power of that wafer thin crap that came with 12 very good games and im still using it now

  • @Thenicereviewguy XD But your laptop is not a ultra portable...Your laptop is a thick piece of crap. THIS laptop was made for travelers! It's not a ordinary laptop... I don't really care if you use your £500 quality failure laptop. This is a well made, quality computer for travelers.

  • @vajksziget7a no fucking what? at least my pc is more powerful than some shitty piece of icrap, final cut pro x lmfao

  • @Thenicereviewguy More powerful? Maybe... But the MacBook Air doesn't run some shitty OS that slows it's down. I'll tell you, your laptop is gonna be a slow pace of shit in about 3 years. But he macbook air is still gonna be FAST. Final Cut Pro X?What's wrong with it? It's a great software. But not for real professionals.YET.... Final cut pro x is great.And it's gonna be even better with the updates.Have you ever used it? Or you just watched some idiots video about it?

  • @vajksziget7a i have had my pc for 8 years and it runs every piece of software i have bought in those 8 yrs, final cut pro and final cut pro x is over priced only a fraction of editors use it, and yes at the moment i am forced to use final cut pro in college as i have been told its the best editing software on the market just because it was used on spiderman 3 final cut pro x is fucking retarded its the apple version of windows movie maker, where as avid studio if far better than fcp or fcpx

  • @vajksziget7a If you have an OS that slows down your computer then you're doing it wrong.

  • @vajksziget7a wow thats complete crap, even if the laptop was an inch thick, its still portable.

    why sacrifice power and reliability for porability?

    that doesn't make sense seeing as you can have both with any other computer

  • @Thenicereviewguy better than a pc laptop of comparable price and weight.

  • burn money, LMAO!!

  • omg a fanboi review! i never watch a fanboi review for the second time.

  • apple vs nothing.

  • 2000 pounds ? i would rather burn my money .

  • Ewww Apple!!!

  • thats old style get the i-Pad 2 i have!!!! woot!!!!!

  • the guy is hot :)

  • your accent is so amazing :D

  • gigahert?

  • woah 2cm less thick its gonna save the world

  • It sucks!

  • @piskapiskapiska Alienware isn't made by Apple.

  • @ThePoisonedBlade

    No, it's made by Dell, but it's overpriced like everything from Apple.

  • @ddlanz how is it made by pc

  • I bet you could kill some one with that. LOL

  • Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

    Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

    Remember when all the info was to the right of the video?

    Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

    Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

    Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations?

    WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

    Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revelution Thumbs up if you agree

  • @VisualshowProduction

    Remember when kids didn't copy and paste this shit in every fucking video and annoy the hell out of it?

    Good days.

  • @AambeiXXL do i am a kid? and do u have proof that i did that on other vids?

  • @VisualshowProduction Yes, you ''do'' are a kid, mature people won't spam that stuff all over the place and I would've gotten proof if you didn't set your comments to private right after you post this comment.

  • @AambeiXXL did i set it right after i posted that  you stupid bastard?

  • @VisualshowProduction Not quite sure but the posibility exists.

  • lol cuz their a bunch of dumbasses and should have bought an Alienware

  • @DevisCraven Lolz. Alienware is for people who spend way to much time getting fat and playing W.O.W. Dell cut-rate shit.

  • @chandru1103 WoW is dumb, and u dont even need an alienware to play it, it has outdated graphics, any PC $800+ can run it 60+ fps. anyone that buys a alienware for WoW is a retard like ur comment. the thing is y the hell would anyone buy this crap thing? its retarded for the price, apple is a joke. if ur going to spend thousands of dollars on a computer u might as well make it an alienware. not to mention this product had problems with the battery melting them ROFL!!!!!!!

  • @DevisCraven I was making a reference to how Alienware is for fat smelly people with no life and seeing as I am NOT one, I have no idea what it is that you do with your time. Although I have been vindicated seeing as you already know so much about what computers are GOOD for WOW. As stated, I wouldn't know what frame rate WOW runs at, because I use computers for useful things. Now having said that I would never purchase an Air because it is an excessive machine with very little capability.

  • @chandru1103

    Useful things?... ohh you mean like pointless arguements on youtube...LOL

  • @itchybruno define pointless.

  • @chandru1103

    Your response. (:

  • seriously...why do you guys buy the macbook air??? its f*cking crap!!

  • @samsaccount7

    some people can't lug around a 10lbs. laptop around an airport, train, bus or business meeting...

  • MAC OS X SUCKS. YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING. LONG IVE WINDOWS

  • so if you wanna use a CD on a Macbook Air, you gotta buy a second Macbook!

  • @spideylover ummm no, you can use a PC OR a Mac...emphasis on the OR.

  • I play cod4on the Old macbook pro with an external Dell monitor - but I am having problems with bootcamp and black ops -have you tried bootcamp w/blackops on this?

    Alternatively - If anyone knows a reliable link to a Macish os version (: of Black ops I would be very grateful.

  • This thing looks like it was made for skeet shooting.

  • The only reasons I bought the Macbook Air was for it's: 1.) Portability 2.) Graphics. That seems to be its redeeming qualities.

  • another rich people's toy haha

  • nice video

  • Am I the only one who's just ignoring what he's saying and looking at the poster behind him?

  • why u need usb when u can buy all in mac store lol

  • One cool laptop and a great looking british guy... good video :) LOL

  • jaka zajebiocha ;}}} musze se taiego sprawic!!!

  • uug cant understand u

  • are you james bond's son

  • Microsoft office : mac ???

  • @CapitanRandom since 2006 i guess

  • People who buy this are drawn into buying it just because it's the new thing. You could get the same thing for $300 except it won't be as skinny. For the same price you could get something with 3x's the specs.

  • @brandonson123 mac its more than a pretty notebook.. if you want mac osx, 6 hrs battery, the best trackpad on the market, an 11 inches screen with 1080x800 res, quality wherever you look and an uncomparable post service.. you want a mac

  • I <3 Claude

  • that is the coolest laptop ive ever seen(:(: i love itt. the only thing i dont like is that it doesnt have a place for a dvd, are there any other problems i should think about before i consider buying onee????

  • how many hours does it's battery will last ?

  • @12invulnerable

    5-7 Hours

    Source : Apple.com

  • so which mac should i get? the 13 inch pro or the 11 inch air. i was thinking the air cuz of its sleek design but ive seen it doesnt have a dvd drive nor atleast 2 usb ports. also, i dont want to spend so much money on it. thanks guys!

  • airbook is perfekt if ya need a mobile working/ presentation platform; normaly ya got a Powerfull Desktop (Pc) @ home for cad/ rendering etc etc

  • omfg!! I though the girl in the background was real!

  • @TheChills100 me too

  • im a pc i have a smalll dick......

    im a mac and i have a big dick ...

    which one will u choose..

  • nice magz in the background

  • queer

  • Don't waste your money on Apple. Overpriced all the way.

  • @SimulacronX

    I switched from pc to mac two years ago and I would never go back to a pc. I have had the same mac, I have never had to muck around with the settings, I have never had to clean install anything, I have never needed any virus software (I download a lot) I can still run all the latest software, I can run windows 7 if I want (i wont its shit) and the bundled software is awesome. Can you do that with a two year old pc? Mac cost more to buy, but long term they aren't.

  • @minki9 I know people who switched from Mac to PC. Because of restriction, compatibility and flexibility issues. You only have a very limited range of software at choice. Anyway I'm ok with Windows. I can do anything I want, download, use anything.

  • guys, remember this is 2yrs ago. the macbook air now starts at £849!

  • how do they.make.that

  • Looks cool but i still think its too expensive for what it has... even if its like a cm thick

  • @BRiTDRAG2 You could always just get a netbook for a much better price.

  • @someoldcliche

    a notebook that costs £400 will probably last 1/3 of the time a MBA does.

  • @BRiTDRAG2 Need or want? It's the same length/width as any other laptop, just thinner. Also, have fun on your 8 hour flight with the 3-5 hour long battery life. I hope the $1700 pricetag and missing parts come in handy for you and I wish you the best on your travels.

  • @heybabyheybabyheyy i used to want, now i have a notebook and not looking back, but i'll keep my first comment up so people who want one can say so

  • its too costly man ...in dis price m gonna get more bettre dan dis ...but still i wont get dat apple feel!!!!!!!!

  • You cannot afford Macbook? There is giveaway at macbook7 . com Go and get yours

    like it

  • Nice review

  • i can't even remember when the the last ihave used my dvd drive in my HP laptop. that's not a problem for me at all. i think i might get a mac for the first time.

  • @therealestmc85 you wont regret it, ive had my desktop for almost 3 years and it hasnt slowed down at all, and i havent even upgraded it or done any tune ups to it, all ive done is use it and it works perfectly

  • @therealestmc85 same. the new one is better than this shit and its making me get mac wether i want one or not. im getting one in a few weeks and im going from acer to mac. lets see how that turns out

  • can it play games that new?

  • What is that girl doing behind him?

  • macbook air is for people who love the smell of their own farts

  • @anyoneanyone28 Why?? What does this have to do??

  • Anyone who buys these kind of Apple products must be mentally retarded.

  • @Watchdawg wrong, anyone with comments like that are

  • @Watchdawg Ha, ah! You're so funny!!! -.- PC < Mac, remember!!

  • This is what $1000 gets you for apple = 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB on-chip shared L2 cache; or optional 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 3MB shared L2 cache * 800MHz frontside bus * 2GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM onboard (4GB maximum)NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory

    You could get a quad core labtop for a grand. what a waste of space

  • @TheCacapower69 Your post just proves there's an idiot everywhere on the web spewing crap from his lack of knowledge brain.

  • @TheCacapower69 but if you look at ultra thin windows laptops, for example the dell adamo (which is still thicker than the air) is more expensive but only has a 1.3 ghz processor.

  • 0:55 - Its apple... they like there own technology, not yours.

  • @marschke77 APPLE SUCK THEY SACRIFICE ERGONOMICS AND FUNCTION FOR DESIGN THATS A FACT ASK A COMPUTER SCIENTIST THAT ARE FAMILIAR WITH MACS AND PC'S apple suck in tech apple uses the same tech as pc's they just have unique design which again takes away from function

    also there overpriced u can get same specs pc for 1/2 the price or less. Macintosh os x leopard is also very unstable as a matter of fact 50% when a mac crashes is os and the other the user on a pc only 99 percent is the user

  • £1200 upto £2000 LOL

  • this is crap why would anyone buy this no cd drive barly any memory wow

  • @MagicalBerry121 and you are a waste of space go post your retarded comment some where else and this is a old vid

  • i want a pro plees

  • This macbook better crap diamonds

  • God.. you film your videos with a picture of a fit girl in the background?...

    Obviously you really care that we know you're straight..

  • Jobs says: It has nothing built in, but it is thin. Now go and give me ur money!

  • no cd drive?

  • @FahadRyu no

  • no cr drive?

  • pfff 1200+ euro for a 13 inch laptop :S

  • the macbook air just sucks get an alienware better specs lower price

  • The robot looks like the Automator, lol!!1

  • I love the air but wont buy it because the price is too much for what you get. either beef up the specs or lower the price!

  • This is cool but i wont buy the macbook air for many reasons 1 only 120gb harddrive 2 no optical drive 3 no sd card slot 4 only 5 hr battery life. Its cool but for the same price i got a macbook pro and its awsome

  • wtf ? audio port , USB and VGA ? thats not VGA idiot..

  • ur lame. did u c the keynote? steve jobs said it was 4 the WIRELESS WORLD!! dont buy it if u dont use the wireless world. i do nd i want 1. i dont even use all of those xtra ports anyways. i'd rather have a laptop w/o all that extra crap. u just dont listen do u?

  • You heard the man, the air turns tricks! NO MORE PROSTITUTES!

  • You cannot afford Macbook Air? There is giveaway at macbook7, com Take your chance NOW

    like it

  • Have those in my school. That's what we use

    In my opinion the macbook then white one that is kinda thick is the best mac i have used. this macbook air if you drop it its shattered into pieces and they are like at thin as the iPhone it will snap in half in seconds

  • clasic hard drives disk makes the laptops overheat rigth?

  • some1 knows if it has cd/dvd rom/writter?thanks..

  • That's not a VGA port, it's a mini DVI (the digital alternative which is backwards compatible with VGA)

  • sony vaio o series are better

  • sooo. because its thin means i should get it now?

  • omg can everyone stop telling me things ik ok i was just saying something jeeze! >:(

  • nice video

  • No but it's good to have

  • just ordered this of apple do i need the optical drive thing that u plug in

  • I consider the MBA to be a BETTER BARGAIN than a MBP. Think about it. A 13" MBP is pretty fucking weak, and it will only be obvious that the consumer in question decided on the "low end" in terms of the available options for the MBP. However, the MBA is far simpler and more pragmatic with only two options for purchase. A fully loaded MBP at $4200 is highly impractical and impossible for most consumers. Therefore, it is far more logical to choose the higher MBA model.

  • @SatanicaLvx666 the macbook air is incredibly expensive compared to the base macbook pro 13. the specs on the air is also alot lower. pay more for crappier specs, how is the air a better bargain?

  • Why the fuck do you think the iphone is the #1 smartphone in the world? It certainly has nothing to do with its "technical qualifications." There have been phones superior to the iphone for quite a long time. Then why do people still prefer the iphone? The answer is simple. There is no other phone out there that is so readily identifiable and noticeable as an iphone.

  • @SatanicaLvx666 The reason its the #1 is because its so user friendly that anyone can use it, even a 3 year old kid (my cousin plays with my ipod touch, believe it), its sleek, looks cool, its not complicated and has pretty much any app/game you could want, and you can jailbreak it and make it even more functional, its a more streamlined experience.

  • I cannot fucking believe how stupid these motherfucking "comments" are. The entire purpose is not fucking TECHNICAL QUALIFICATIONS. It is about FORM FACTOR. Is there any other notebook that is more distinct and unique than this? Is there any other laptop that is thinner or more streamlined than this? I think not. Obviously the fucking douchebags here have zero taste.

  • whats the point in macboks , i agree they look cool but alienware loooks cooler ,

  • You don't need an optical drive. Just download the software online.

  • The fact that I bought a notebook with much better specs than this 5 years ago for about 1/3 of the price is worrisome...

  • just sold my 06 macbook pro and looking to get one of these. but i noticed the hardware hasn't changed since this original version.. the price has dropped, which is nice, but i'm afraid to buy and then they revamp the hardware.. any idea on when we can expect a hardware refresh?

  • crapple.

  • the mac book air is stupid it has no CD drive one USB port and only 2g ram (and you cant upgrade it for more memeory too thin) now the mac book pro is better and is like $200 cheaper

  • #FAIL

    

  • I've owned one now for two years, here are the problems that made me regret buying

    heating issues that apple cannot even determine the cuase nevermind fix (youtube streaming problems after 15 mins,media player streaming issues etc)

    Hinge problems...on the first generation hinge will most likely break (but found out apple will fix it for free after 4 months D:

    720p .mkv playback will NEVER happen. i hate the fact the fact i have to look for xvid 720p files, (which are very rare)

    Buy a MacBook pro

  • I have a Apple Macbook Air its so thin and i can feel the touch in it.

  • Compare it to the competition? That would be the Lenovo x301

  • I know it's pretty useless, but I like Apple for experimenting. They're not afraid of innovating and trying new things out, so it's not that bad.

  • Comment removed

  • lol this is very nice!! Thanks for this!! #LOL #FAIL

  • i tihn sony caio is better ^_^

  • @jaaizerox #fFTW macbook is better than that piece of crap

  • @TheHolycrapshit

    i said SONY VAIO IS BETTER i mean it has 5 advantages over da mac book ..........mac book is just a toy with tricks -_- but i would prefer one.....its cool

  • Thumbs Up if you don't know What is wrong with having just one USB port

  • While the mac book air is an innovative it isn't practical. For the price you get half the features of a regular notebook at double the price. if you've got the money for a air you might as well get a pro.
