Sounds like MacBook Airs are finally being delivered around the US. The usual suspects at Gizmodo, Engadget and Macworld have all received their units and are in the process of putting the MacBook Air through its paces.
Some early notes so far via MacRumors:
- Wireless Remote disk details: can’t play DVD media, can’t burn a CD, can’t listen to a music CD.
- The Novatel U727 (3G USB modem) won’t fit in the MacBook Air without a USB extender.
- MacBook Air’s MagSafe charger works in the MacBook/MacBook Pro and vice-versa but the regular MagSafe won’t stay attached to the Air when it is sitting flat on a desk.
- Engadget provides some Xbench 1.3 benchmarks of the MacBook Air compared to a MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac, though with a mismatch of configurations. Unsurprisingly, the MacBook Air came in at the lowest speeds amongst the machines tested.
Looks like the reviews are not very positive so far!
