This was new to me. Might not be for some of you who grew up with a mouse in one hand.
I decided to try Mac for a spare, and super portable computer. It was easy to justify the cost due to Mac being very prevalent in areas of my trade. A lot of jobs require Mac experience.
I went with the Air due to weight and battery life. So far, so good! It is very responsive, light, thin, and just plain easy to lug around.
This came from my cousin who uses Macs for his trade as a film producer of Short films, Documentaries, advertising, etc.
Tip:
Load google chrome. Do not load flash player. Will greatly extend your battery charge life.
I did not realize that Chrome would play these files, like youtube. I don't know if it is just flash in the background, cloud deal, or if it really does as he says with battery life. I just took him at his word because he is a pretty sharp and talented young man. So far, it has worked flawlessly.
