I haven’t felt so thrilled by a new piece of hardware since I bought our first iPad, and the same feeling of experiencing a new class of device is present here too. If you’re tempted by the 11-inch model’s portability but are worried about whether you could get your work done, put your concerns aside – it’s an excellent machine and more than up to the job.
Having owned one for more than a week now, using it every day (including for development work in Xcode) and traveling for most of that time, I can recommend it without hesitation.
Be sure to check out his unboxing photos and screenshots of popular apps running on the 11.6" screen.
I’m pretty set that my next machine will be an 11.6" Air.
