Hi there,
Just want to share I’m going to get a new laptop for use on my presentation at client sites.
Here is criteria I’m using to select my new presentation weapon.
- Mainly for portability
- Should support for partial works on web development using Ruby on Rails
- Long life battery
- Looking good to great
- In a reasonable price tag
- 13″ screen, no smaller display because I used to do web development sometime
If you are using the same criteria as mine, you should ends up the same with what I’ve chosen.
It’s Apple Macbook Air 13″ (Mid 2011) because it ends up with these criteria well.
Here is its own strength points.
- Ultra portability, very slim and light weight
- Battery life is so good for me, maybe the help of Mac OSX
- Even the CPU is ULV series but its performance also gained by using SSD storage
- It’s fast enough for everyday use and satisfy for my Ruby on Rails web development
- Great display resolution for 13″ screen
- Price is fair
I will review more soon. Just write this short post to test a functionality in my new Facebook app.
Thanks,
Seree

I have the Mac Air and have really enjoyed it. I bought it for the same reasons you have listed. One note, my hard drive has broken after only very gentle use – I am very careful with the laptop and have never dropped it. When I took it to the Apple store to get it fixed the guy who helped me said that those hard drives were prone to breaking and I could not expect the lifespan to exceed 1 year. This really surprised me. Otherwise, I’ve been really happy with the product and it has been a great device.
