Is the MacBook Air Really a Seminal Computer?

Is the MacBook Air Really a Seminole Computer?

Yesterday Brooke Crothers over at Crave reported that she considers the MacBook Air a seminal computer…That’s certainly one heck of a powerful statement! She then proceeded to back up her claim and provide 5 reasons why. They are:

  1. Very thin, very light but comparatively fast.
    Sure. For the size, the MBA does pack a lot of punch into that small frame.
  2. Solid state drive (SSD): The SSD is revolutionary.
    She calls it ‘one of the most useful hardware improvements to a notebook computer since the active-matrix color liquid crystal display’.
  3. Sturdy. For a sub-one-inch-thin notebook, it feels remarkably solid.
    I can’t argue with this one. The machine is solid indeed.
  4. Battery life.
    Brooke argues that she has compared the Air battery life vs. other PC notebooks and the Air beats them all hands down.
  5. Looks.
    Ok, you got me there again Brooke. The MBA is a great looking machine for sure.

So what’s your take? Is the MacBook Air simply Revolutionary or just an overpriced gizmo that under performs?
