would you recommend getting this as a main computer

[techreviewer7]

@redlightning18 I'll make a video addressing that question :)

[TheRobyoman]

Did you have a Mac before this?

[techreviewer7]

@TheRobyoman Yes, I've had the white MacBook, the first 13" MacBook Pro, a 15" MacBook Pro, and an iMac.

god i hate the mac sound!

[techreviewer7]

@sourtwister19 Why?

Shadows in the corner. My macbook air has shadows in the bottom corners. Why....

a demo how to use it and stuff...

@jeowd My point exactly... saying you can get "same specs except for OS and SSD" is like saying a Volkswagon is the same as a Porsche, except for engine and suspension.

But the low end MacBook Air for $999 is a pretty good "non-Porsche" deal. PC makers find it difficult to match the hardware for the price.

I would not get a computer that runs Windows as its primary OS, so for me, the comparison is irrelevant. But I do have Windows XP as a "virtual machine," on my Mac, using VMware Fusion.

@ken1w What I am trying to say is you can get a netbook with same specs as a macbook air (except OS and probs SSD) for cheaper probably. Just different designs. You can get a netbook to do what a macbook air does really, just different operating systems.

[ken1w]

@jeowd Yeah, it's the "same as a netbook," in the same way that a Volkswagon is the same as a Porsche (they both have four wheels). :)

Because screen on that MacBook model is very "short," you should set Dock to hide, or move it to side of screen.

I personally like taller "old-school" 4:3 displays, compared to current very wide screens. I use an older iMac with a large external display as my primary screen; iMac's display is off to the right as secondary "extend the Desktop" screen.

I'm thinking about getting a MacBook Air next, and use it the same way when I am sitting at my desk. But it's much more mobile than my iMac. :)

"look at po-things on websites"

[jeowd]

@redlightning18 Well its really same as a netbook :/ Depends what you are wanting to do on them

@techreviewer7 Give me a shoutout in that video lol
