As an Apple MacBook Air MC505LL/A 11.6-Inch Laptop owner I can safely say that I love it. It’s probably the sexiest notebook, although Apple don’t like it referred as a notebook that’s pretty well what it is. If you’re thinking of getting one just keep in mind that it’s not designed to be a full on computer as it just doesn’t have the power. It’s more of a secondary one, a computer that is compact and meant to gravel with you to handle all those small tasks.

I use mine for blogging and for doing my share trading when I’m away from the office. Normally I’ll connect to the Internet via it’s Wi-Fi capability and when that’s not available I use one of the network providers. One of the greatest advantages it has over the iPad is it has a proper keyboard which makes typing and other data entry so much easier.

Another advantage of the MacBook Air is that it’s so much faster than the PC I was used to, probably because it works on a flash drive and not a hard drive so everything works so much faster. The only thing it lacks has more to do with Safari than the computer itself. It seems that a lot of the time while surfing I come up with a missing plugin error. I think it’s because I need to load the latest Adobe flash plugin, I should really do something about that.

Now let’s consider the Apple iPad MC497LL/A Tablet (64GB, Wifi + 3G), it’s greatest advantage, if you get the 3G version, is that the internet function is built in, you just have to choose a provider. Naturally you can save a little money by getting the Apple iPad Tablet (32GB, Wi-Fi) version. Then again if there aren’t all that many free Wi-Fi hot spots you might find it extremely frustrating.

I’m not all that comfortable using the onscreen touch keyboard as I find it rather cumbersome. I much prefer the manual keypad of the MacBook Air. One positive it does have is the amount of apps that are available for it. The free ones are great and even the paid ones are very cheap. As a eBook reader, again I think it’s not as good as the Kindle 3G Wireless Reading Device, Free 3G + Wi-Fi, 3G Works Globally, Graphite, 6″ Display with New E Ink Pearl Technology because it wasn’t really designed with that in mind. If you’re looking for the best eBook reader on the market then the Kindle is your best bet.

If you have any questions just leave a comment and I will do my best to answer it.
