Macbook Air: Hands-On & Review

Of all the products that Steve Jobs presented in Macworld, it’s the Macbook Air that made the most waves. After a little digging, I found a hands-on video and a review of a test unit. Honestly, it’s so popular it didn’t take that long. Here’s what I found:

Getting a chance to use a test system, we were extremely pleased with the new multitouch track pad, which incorporates a range of gesture controls that will be familiar to iPhone users. It’s a smart move on Apple’s part; not only are the gestures easy to learn, but they’re difficult to forget. Writers and students will be pleased as well with the MacBook Air’s keyboard, which is full size and similar to that of the standard MacBook. In terms of interaction, the MacBook Air is probably the first three-pound notebook that hasn’t asked users to make some kind of compromise.
