Information for you

Accomplishments: Despite the fact that he is very thin and light, it is really powerful.
Assasins Screed Brotherhood easily pulls on medium settings at high fps falls (feels to 20-29). Still can't believe that integrated graphics can do that.
Bravo Intel!
Mac OS is very convenient. Just need to learn some of its features, such as gestures and mission control and understand that Windows wildly uncomfortable system, the only advantage is only the presence of a larger number of games. For the time of using the interface is not never freezes, even for a second!
Design beautiful - it is the combination of simplicity and style, which is famous for apple.
a Wonderful display, after he didn't even want to sitting at her old desktop.
Very quiet - in a standard mode of operation (Wifi, browser, twitter and mail clients, XCode) fan noise can be heard only leaning his laptop to his ear. Yes, and when loading the game or video processing it is much quieter desktop idle.
Responsive tochpad, the mouse is not in use, even in games.
Liked auto adjust the brightness of the display and automatic illumination of the keyboard. Though I'm typing blind - but all the same it is insanely beautiful.
a Beautiful, clean sound in the headphones and high volume. Their senheiser cx 300 never ran at full - afraid that will not withstand. Built-in speakers, too - good high and srednyie frequency, but no bass (I'd be surprised if it was).
the Presence of the slot under the SD card can be significantly (64-128GB) increase the memory in acute need, what is more, every year cards all getting cheaper.

Limitations: They also have
first reason premium reseller decided not to update the noutyi to Mountal Lion. Had to flattery on apple's website, enter the serial number to get free updates. Pity that not acquired somewhere USB adapter Ethernet vayfay I'm much slower wire - 4.5 GB of system shaking floor of the night.
After the upgrade noticed a reduction in battery life - instead of 7-7,5 hours showed lion appeared not such a nice 5. Say apple is already working on this problem.
Terribly a lot of updates on startup. Had to download the update to iPhoto (1.5 GB) iMove (1,4) garage band (1.2) and other programs (about 0,6GB).
Not conveniently located keys dot and comma. Press e better would have been removed and she eats part of enter. It can be easily cured if you put the layout of the "Russian PC" - but still do not understand why the English keyboard seems to be identical.
Terribly glyuennyiy steam client is slow to start and scrolling works poorly.
iPhoto, hardly a photo editor. Effects there, but they are not much above the level of instagramma. But the drafting of collages and the slide show very much.
Pretty expensive apps in mac app store. 5-15 dollars for the application that is normal. Although nothing prevents downloading pirated.
so far useless thunderbolt - periphery little, and she wildly expensive.
still not sure that the price 53 000 justified. 40-45 thousand - Yes. But 53 unlikely.

Comment: Recently read a phrase such as "Usually laptops are built according to the formula «easy, productive, long-playing - pick any two points». The owners of Air choose not to; they will be all right."

Accomplishments: Really easy
Long keeps charging
Low price
FaceTime (quality camera)

Limitations: A very small amount of memory (128-256) had to buy a hard disk
Incompatibility with some older software

Comment: 've been using since August 2012, very good car, never failed before that sat on sony vaio due to the necessity of Windows, but what, specifically, did not suit the Sony, how he kept the charge (about 2 hours), after the transition to the Air really understand that the main feature of the laptop - ease and without charging time.
the Opportunity to work anywhere, even on the road - another plus
by the Way, after the purchase of the Air we no longer needed the iPad, so Air - excellent replacement notebook+tablet.
In General, daily tasks are solved with the one-two, that is, the word, eksel, power point, mail send, with macros copes quite well
P.S Apple indifferent, but the Air really is worth the money, I have to say - it is for those who want to play, work with volume graphics, for programs such as Vegas especially not work, for everything else is perfect.

Accomplishments: Very afraid to buy a laptop for this price with Mac OS, but as it turned out in vain... Performance poppy height, quiet and cool, I immediately found analogues of the programs I use on windows, as it is not strange prog much better and smarter than. Excellent display, backlit keyboard and the keyboard at an altitude of just pleasant to work with. In General, dignity makbukov discussed many times, I can't disagree with them.
Battery 5-6 hours (3g modem), a very worthy.
the Device is really a source of great joy to use.

Limitations: 1) I'm American, so a different keyboard, they do not have time to apply engraving (unusually)
2) "SHelkayuschiy touchpad
3) Problems with the 3g modem to connect it should be updated Without the Internet problematic
4) the Complexity of installation-specific programs ( Consultant +), but for half an hour all this is done - it would wish.

Comment: I was choosing between them and the Ipad, however, stopped on the air, a large number of advantages ( I speak as the owner of the first ipad), the key factor was the work, not as strange air is more adapted to continuing use outside the home ( charging to 100% in an hour)than 6 hours in new ipad...

Accomplishments: Design, speed, backlit keyboard (it looks really cool), operating system, and much more.

Limitations: They simply do not exist, everything is at the highest level. Never regretted the purchase.

Comment: Great laptop for home, work, study, travel. Had some doubts about the rates, but this device really is worth it. After him on other laptops just look disgusting. Never worked on os x operating system, very worried about it, but everything was in vain. The system is very simple and understandable, after it, the windows just look disgusting (glitches, low-speed operation, design etc)

Accomplishments: 1. One of the most thin and light 13.3" notebook
2. Good Assembly - as well as all Apple products
3. Excellent color reproduction display
4. SSD-drive, fast loading/revival and back
5. Nice adjustable backlight keyboard
6. The keyboard is nice touch keys-like rubber
7. Magnetic power connector, which is conveniently connect/disconnect, and thus protected from destruction at random hook wire - laptop falls to the floor
8. Built-in Boot Camp, which allows after you install Windows install all drivers in one click

Limitations: 1. Custom keyboard:
- no buttons Del, for this you need to press Fn+BackSpace
- no buttons Ins, for cut/copy/paste will have to use Ctrl+X/C/V
- no buttons PrnScreen quickly to screen the screen will not work
- function buttons (display brightness, brightness, keyboard, sound volume, etc.) performed in the same color and material as normal, only slightly less in height. This is especially unsuccessfully for the off button located right above the BackSpace key. Given that feels absolutely the same week I turn off the laptop in the process of writing a document. As well as off fast enough (see dignity) - it is not always have time to cancel...
2. If you've worked in Windows to be retrained on Mac OS will be really easy. After weeks of torment - installed Win7, good Boot Camp (see dignity) it's just

Comment: All deficiencies are described for those who are going to work on this laptop - actively use the keyboard, MS Office, and dozens of other Windows applications.
of Course, popular applications (e.g. Skype) have a version for Mac OS. But if your work takes place directly with the laptop - prepare yourself for the fact that half of the applications available for Mac OS will not have.
a Separate topic virtualization software that will allow Windows application used to think that it works in Windows): in the free VirtualBox part of the application does not start at all, and in paid Parallels Desktop laptop stronger heated and the application runs much slower. Certainly pleased with the function "seamless integration" Parallels (when not to start a separate screen to run a Windows application). Very happy for our children - the application is considered one of the best in the world. But still chose the option to install Windows 7.
Summary: If you choose a laptop for home - option most of it, Mac even just in the hands keep nice. Movies, music and photos with the display look very nice. Play games - this is unlikely, since the graphics card is built-in and through the tests on a daily basis. For example Starcraft 2 is only at low settings.
To work again. Better get a Sony Vaio - for the same money will be in 2 times more RAM + old Win-keyboard and already installed Win7

Accomplishments: Easy,
really comfortable and beautiful,
pretty fast.

Limitations: Screen (because it is the matrix TN, as usual bukah, this is the exact opposite IPS PRO and Retina, frustrating, but I can survive)
Generic Thunderbolt - and advantage and disadvantage. Well, that is a versatile and fast, and, by the way, not buggy, bad ofitsialov and dealers VERY LITTLE WIRES, and if there is then the price tag space. The same thing on ebay worth at least 5-10 times cheaper (Took HDMI for 10 bucks, it works perfectly)
OS. Despite its advantages in a clever management, a lot of bugs in the system, constant problems with compatibility with other formats (NTFS, some video codecs settings audio and izobraeeniya in different modes) of Course, all these shortcomings can be set or a little break system in order to work, it is not clear, why not make fine once.

Comment: The price tag (took over 42 simplest) consider adequate

Accomplishments: Pleasant, quiet, easy, well and stylish, yet they say, but for me it is not important. But the fact that the keyboard was easier than I thought important.

Limitations: Built-in sound. At full volume happening difficult, starts dribezjat. Well, and the high cost of disk storage is not happy. By the way, I advise you not to repeat my mistake and take 256.

Comment: It seems, for the first time I so surprised purchase. Here's the truth. I'm not fond of fashion, I always spit on the opinions of others. Knowing yourself, when buying poppy I already thought about that in the evening I find a lot of mistakes, of course, once again surprised how to herd blindly emblazoned Apple, which is no better than good old PC. Proshlu three weeks and I surprised myself have not podhuju to the PC, so I liked my new EIR. And, once again, I'm not one of the fashionable youth, which is important style, fashion and so on... For me the laptop is first of all reliability, usability and other practicality.
Took trinashku with a 128 GB SSD. In General, planned to take IBE top speed, but was not sure whether I want to move to the Mac, then decided to take the probe in the form of Ayr. Still throw out more than 100 thousand people and then be disappointed huche than to do the same for 45. But disappointment, though I tried.
now, from the emotions to the specifics. Why am I no longer want to go back on the PC. I zamuchala philosophy of this operating system. Found in Microsoft Windows life shipped me some extra information about registers, about protocols, about expansion, about everything else, without fine-tuning which OS ceased to perform adequately in a year. Glitches, bugs, lags. I have a feeling that each PC to engage sysadmin, which would clean, configure, update, format, and so on... I don't want to know what a directory is a file, I just know that thrown it in ayfoto and I could get out. I don't want to think about withdrew whether the program is fully or we need to registry clean, instead I just delete one file from the applications folder. I want to make backup copies made without my participation, as it is now. To configure performed with one click. I first had the sensation that the computer itself thinks and knows what I want.
Some words deserves the device. Thin, lightweight, easy, thought-out small things. Advise!

Accomplishments: 1 Easy
2 Beautiful
3 Comfortable keyboard

Limitations: 1 Shamelessly cool, fine, you can only work with 2-3 Windows, began to warm up and slow down
2 Inconvenient semicolon just take out, go to the Russian PC inconvenient: it disappears question mark, Yes this layout only once, then again need to install, so I decided better to suffer with a dot and comma
3 MasOS use for the first time, Wind 7 I like more accustomed to the Mac for a long time, no intuitive things here no, it was necessary to study all over again. I'm not new OS on the comp put with 0, but here we had to sweat
4 Problem, sometimes, find the file, because if you don't know his name, you simply can not find it, how it would not
5 Irritate many little things that in Wind 7 and earlier been solved long ago
6 Wi-Fi - cropped, although not write, so immediately have a problem that is not solved neither sellers nor service center, no assistance from Moscow. When looked in the Internet, he was all swelled out from this problem, well and helped the Council to change the router settings (luckily I had the most advanced)
7 Dear, I bought a 70 t, hoping that the price will not have problems, but it was not there
8 Quite sharp edges, this problem I decided I bought a leather cover almost half the cost of the laptop, and what to do - convenience more expensive, and it used to have something on the edge of the put,

Comment: Chose this laptop by exception, so no matter what, no regrets, although Apple disappointed, but so many diferambov before heard. Though initially purchased the same equipment, but 11" and i5, it hung, but after 3 months fucked adapter, warranty nothing was fixed, said that the repair is not needed, billed me for what I did every week: pressed the button and skachivala update. Naturally I refused to take the dead (he even not included) notebook and wrote a complaint, I have exchanged my laptop already the shop and I took a diagonal 13" and i7 processor to nothing Vistula. Hang it all and continues to, I simply told not to open more than 3 Windows. And if you will that do? So tortured or go to work on a comp with W 7, where nothing hangs.
With a diagonal one very interesting point: when I worked with the first noutom, I was terribly spoiled vision, and when she took the second, it was restored. I have found: it appears different displays, although not write.

Comment: Another masterpiece Apple - MacBook Air in size and the amount of RAM is comparable with Lenovo and also easy to use. He has wide-screen, full-size keyboard and large touchpad. The processor is also impressive - 1.6GHz. But unlike Lenovo laptop Air may be more difficult for business use, as it does not support the Windows operating system.

Accomplishments: Weight, autonomy, efficiency (at this weight and autonomy), and of course OS X!

Limitations: Not enough space on the 128GB SSD :)

Comment: Like most computer pleased and do not have any complaints, BUT after 11 months out of the SSD.
Now gave warranty wait to do (alternate alignment), pray that they will not turned out to be such and not managed in time to make!
PS. pray because I want to (like any normal) that returned the money spent on its purchase and would buy yourself the same but 13 year (the price is the same), but can already 256GB :)

Accomplishments: 1. build quality, of course, at the height. no backlash, not bulging, not creak. opening the cover from the closed state, you can not hold the second half of the laptop :)
2. design. weight and dimensions
3. Speed of work. Flash memory is a really super. When the first time I tried on a normal computer SSD-drive, even vinda changed, everything became much faster to function. And then all the, all tkryivaetsya all immediately (or almost instantly). Off somewhere for 23 seconds, turns a little "longer" - 5 seconds. From sleep too coming out immediately.
4. Makos. Addictive after Windows installation takes 1 day. In principle, all the same. Write here about adaptation to new hotkeyam - well, I think most of hotkeys most important (type kopipastyi) same as in Windows, but instead of ctrl click cmd, that's the whole science. Simultaneously you can all applications open on vindovom the laptop I would have thought of this came in horror
5. Monitor. I brushed not very critical, therefore, satisfied with everything. Quality and excellent color reproduction. Very long thought before buying, enough of 13-inch display. Always thought that the 13 uncomfortable. But these 13 inches much better look than 15" my old dismal note.
6. The keyboard is good. About the off button wrote here below - well, initially there is the confirmation off, and accidentally turn off and I can't never, as it should after pressing the button click or press enter.
7. Very quiet. Under normal loads of fans generally not heard.
8. charging on magnitike - hooking leg wire, the computer will not fly after him down.
9. CSS 3.0 finally put
10. tachped. if you play mouse of course will need. and so, for surfing and other pampering - it will be enough
11. well and without a network connection. zayavlenno, I think, about 7 hours - well, it is so. if something podklyuchenno, type of external drive 5 hours to stretch out somewhere

Limitations: mostly this is not a "flawed", but simply a consequence of reduction in the weight and thickness
1. a little CSS. as 128 gigs, you have to constantly keep connected external hard drive, and a second port mouse (I did not Apple Bluetooth). on the other hand - there is nothing to stick, so tolerant. Oh and adaptor with thunderbolt (which still don't need him) on ethernet (so if there is a need to connect wired inet very convenient).
2. begins to bask under heavy load. but, the truth is, my old vindovyiy laptop started to be heated as frying pan with a simple viewing of films. so it's not such a big drawback. simply a statement of fact
well until all

Comment: What about the prices: I bought 41200. Now looking at the market - yet it became cheaper, some did write for 38 thousand or something (though, some strange shops, but still). Now I am in Germany, so the Germans pay for equipment EPL much more expensive (except for rare exceptions, type raspiarennyih gadgets ayped and the iPhone, which appear with a huge delay), than now the Russians. So the situation has considerably changed for the better for us direction. For example, the Mac in Germany - 1250 euros, more than 50 thousand roubles
the addiction to Makosi is fast, and not more than a month. Basic programs on the Mac. The same photo processing or graphics - almost all Macs yuzayut. Something like 1C is a different matter altogether.
not yet played it. play only in the great Patriotic war sometimes. probably will bask much. however, buy the air for the games is a bad idea
UPD. from may 13.
After six months of use died SSD-drive. Service in Moscow everything was accepted without question, made 10 days. If not for this unfortunate moment would not have any claims..... we'll See whether there will be more such Kosyakov

Accomplishments: Easily
no squeaks
mac os without hemorrhoids (hakintosh hi)
Work with virtual machines in a separate big plus in a coin box (for me)

Limitations: Choice osoznanyiy, because for me they are not here
Forever nedopilennyiy matlab (exactly simulink), but minus, because it taught to use shortkatami, and accelerated the work

Comment: Nothing against windows does not have
7ka for me was and remains the main working, but still, for convenience in the portable version, without mice and other things, her compete point even no.
The more the concept of the new interface (win 8 ui) I am not attracted to. Yes and I doubt its efficiency.

Accomplishments: Like all makbukov. Design, touchpad, keyboard with illuminated display.. Everything is perfect. Bastard from MagSafe charging and the battery for 5 hours (Screen comfortable yazkiy, 70% approximately, backlight Clara off, WiFi rabrtaet, office applications, not too powerful)
Surprised. that Diablo III pulls without brakes (Intel i5 Ivy Bridge). Hot, humming, but pulls. Everything else is extremely fast. I forgot what the brakes as the wind.
Surprised sound, as on the speakers, tiny Air plays better than the Toshiba with six-speaker harman/kardon and headphones, very powerful and pure.

Limitations: Fun begin after switching the keyboard layout on English language. A comma is put through Shift+6, and the point of using Shift+7. And the question mark ran the place where usually sits point. Why? It is unclear...
the Letter E is between Enter and Delete. The percent sign of the four (as in the English keyboard layout on the five Get)
In General - to clave to get used to.
USB only two and wide devices (for example, 3J modem) close the ports is near; (exercises or Thunderbolt)
built-in Microphone is not very good, thought to make it'll be perfect.
need a lot of RAM =( if you can buy a model with 8GB memory - do not miss it. As SSD 128gb is not enough even if you do not store movies on your computer.
On maatritse screen are traces of the keys, so carrying your laptop closed with a cloth or piece of paper inside (included) or avoid pressure on the back cover Apple to carry.

Comment: Nice poryadovala possibility to connect the headphones from the iPhone and use the volume control buttons, with headphones, they work, as well as the microphone on the headset.
Comp somehow clearly begins to hum if you live a week without a reboot, but it is not hot. After the reboot, the buzzing stops. Haven't figured out what's the matter, can I blame Ya
Gestures comfortable, but they also need to get used to...
After Macbook Air 13" I cannot hand to take the other computers, they seem absurd huge and heavy, and are weak performance =))

Accomplishments: - Design
- OS
- work Time/standby
- No permanent care(cleaning the screen,your words etc), that is not so easily soiled
Use since its introduction in the Russian Federation. During this time he managed to recoup himself on the debt of my work.
Everything works perfect + really faster Govinda. For the sake of interest and the dispute with colleagues, put 5uyu civilization, GTA San Andres and everything works fine.

Limitations: - Expensive accessories(original charge 4000, if you search the 3200), Chinese not ask, because the computer will not cheap
- When raised a game and start playing, began quite noticeably warm. But since I don't play, set exclusively protestit, for me it is important, but others might want to know

Comment: This is better than I've ever been!
Switched to Mac OS Ubuntu!
Windows must die!

Accomplishments: the size of the weight of course, beyond a doubt, this is cool! very convenient. the system simply super clear. the track pad is just super all actions much quicker. 's happy with! very comfortable quiet keyboard

Limitations: a problem with the license for the software by Adobe. but it is doable.
and fasting use half a year I broke the ssd drive. all very sad( but it is still under warranty I hope I will do everything for free otherwise vlechu a pretty penny to the new year! I am very sorry that was a problem I hope gets fixed. I do not want to work for the company of other madly like this
