Macworld reviewed the new MacBook Air:
Though not for everyone, Apple’s MacBook Air can still boast about its status as the world’s thinnest notebook computer, only now, with a 33 percent performance gain, the tradeoff between size and speed is not as great as with the first generation MacBook Air.
Its good to see a positive review of the MacBook Air talk about something other than the thin factor. I had a 1st generation for a bit, and thing was barely usable for much more than browsing and Office.
