Beware of Apple MacBook Air
July 5, 2008I just read this, and it’s true.
The Macbook Air is back heavy.
If you sit it open on a flat surface, most of the weight is in the rear. This is terrible for a laptop. My wife finds that everytime she removes her hands the whole thing almost tumbles off her lap. It would have been better to have the thick part in the front, but I suppose this doesn’t make for as nice of a demo.
Apple apparently does not have any parts in stock.
If your Macbook Air breaks, you are looking at a long wait for a repair. In my experience, typical turnaround times for Apple on laptop repairs are less than a week, usually around 4-5 days. The wait time for the Air appears to be somewhere north of 2 weeks.
Especially if you are in a country where apple stores not exist. The second point is real thing.
