Finally found it!

Enter – the MacBook Air.

I have been toying with the idea of getting a MacBook Air for some time. For the past two years I was huge MacBook Pro fan and user. I didn’t want anything else. Then the when the iPad came out I had to have one. I thought it was going to change my life. I tried it out. I thought it was cool but couldn’t really find its place. Then Verizon finally got the iPhone. I got one. I love it! After the iPhone I was confused as to why I needed an iPhone, and iPad and a MacBook Pro. My backpack was getting really heavy! I kept saying – if only the iPad had a keyboard. I thought about getting a keyboard case for the iPad but then that is something else to carry around.

We needed a test Mac for some projects. Back at the beginning of the year we ordered an 11″ MacBook Air for our test computer. The Air was cheap and lightweight. I still couldn’t part with my beloved MacBook Pro. One of my employees has taken “ownership” of our 11″ Air and he thinks it is the best thing ever. I kept say it was so little, I can’t use anything like that. Then about a month ago the opportunity arose to possibly swap my laptop out. I got to thinking, can I really do everything I need to do on a MacBook Air? I ran down the list – I think it might work! So I went for it. I ordered up a 13″ MacBook Air with the i7 processor, 4GB of RAM and the 256GB storage option. I was very excited.

It has now been a little over a month since I got thing going with the new MacBook Air. I must saw I love it! The size is perfect. I can still use my big monitor when I am either at work or in my home office. The speed is great. I have no issues running VMware Fusion or Virtual Box. The storage has not been an issue so far. It is great to take to meetings and just pull out at home for quick things. So far I love it and I can’t imagine using another laptop ever! My backpack is much lighter. This is a great product by Apple! Way to go!
