Macbook Air Review Roundup

jobsmacbookair.JPGThe diminutive Macbook Air must be Apples most controversial product in years. Designing a subnotebook is an exercise in compromise. By it's very nature, certain features must be left out or cut back to achieve the compact form factor that subnotebook users demand. Each persons opinion of the Macbook Air is determined by whether the compromise in features outweigh the benefits of the machines physical attributes. Still undecided? Here is a roundup of early Macbook Air reviews...

Ars Technica (in my opinion the definative review site)

Macworld (an epic review by Jason Snell)

MacNN - Initial impressions

Engadget (a balanced review by Ryan Block)

Gizmodo - disassembly (self explanatory)

Gizmodo - review

PC Mag

Crave

CNET

Wall Street Journal (a suprisingly critical review from Walt Mossberg who is considered by many to be biased towards Apple)

Newsweek (an early review by the author of the fantastic iPod book 'The Perfect Thing')

USA Today

Gearlog - unboxing

NotebookReview.com (good review with video)
