Having used Macs since the 80's I am aware Apple know how to produce a great product and when my MacBook Pro became well out of date I had no hesitation to look at a suitable Apple product to replace it. My professional needs have now passed into retirement so the MacBook Air was an ideal choice. It has not let me down. Reliable, fast and intuitive it is a Mac through and through. I have to get used to the differences that come with a modern advancement bring but has been straight forward. Fast and furious with a big helping of style too. No constant updates like Microsoft and no hurried patches to follow like Microsoft. No tearing your hair out every day like Microsoft. A bit more expensive but you sure get what you pay for.
