Everything You Wanted To Know About MacBook Air

Jason Snell's review of the MacBook Air is long, comprehensive, and hits all the right notes. Not only does he review the unit, but also the experience of using it, right down to the "hard-to-define weight barrier" that subnotebooks straddle.

There are benchmarks, 690 words just about the battery, and even ruminations on whether it could be reasonably used as a primary computer. (Conclusion: it would be a lifestyle choice.)

It's almost tragic that he has to rate it 3.5 out of 5 right at the start of the review, with one sentence of Pros and another of Cons. Its as if all those words were completely superfluous. Does Metacritic do gadgets yet?
