Detailed review
I decided to upgrade from my MacBook Pro 17" to the unibody when I heard about the 7/8 hour battery life was claiming for the device. This basically meant for me going through an entire day on the road without having to bother recharging my battery.
I was not convinced I would like the keyboard used with the Air/unibody, and after a couple of days, I love it. The design of the unibody is very slick, and I really liked the feel of the machine. Performance wise, having bought the 3.0GHz upgrade and the SSD option, this thing is a monster.
The only beef I have is actually with Leopard: it does not fully support the features of the GPU, the dual 8400/8600 GT, as you have to relog in order to switch from one to the other. In an ideal world, the computer would use BOTH the 8600 GT and the 8400 when the machine is connected to a power source.
