  • Battery life Battery life is very good, about 4 hours under normal use. good
  • Display No comments good
  • Durability No comments awful!
  • Expandability no real expandability to speak of, other than external device expandability. poor
  • Noise With no moving parts, the unit is silent. Might hear a cpu fan every so often, depending on how hard your taxing the system, buy overall, a silent killer! great!
  • Portability (size / weight) The most portable laptop around, very thin, light and easy to carry. great!
Detailed review
I have the Mid 2011 11" unit with the i7, 256gb SD, 4GB. FAST unit. I really like the portability of this unit without sacrificing performance. I am running Fusion with Windows 7 vm's and performance is spectacular. If you need high performance and high portability, this is the unit! Sandy Bridge and Lion, just round out an awesome machine!
