  • Speed and features Core i5 rocks, SSD is damn cool, 2 USB 3.0 ports and Thunderbolt are sufficient for on-the-go situation and card reader won't hurt. great!
  • Design and form factor In love with this Apple's finest. No plastic casing, no kitch in elements, simplicity and function at its best. great!
  • Battery life 5 - 7hrs is one hell of a feat for such a compact machine, especially compared to the previous generation of PC notebooks and it's where I'm coming form. great!
  • Display Vibrant colors, great viewing angles, evenly backlit and 1440x900 is just what the doctor's ordered for a 13-incher great!
  • Durability Scratches easily. Then again everything gets scratched over a period of time whatever measures you take to prevent it from happening. good
  • Expandability Expandability and this brand new world we're living in ain't compatible and frankly the former won't be missed. awful!
  • Noise It's Apple internal design meeting the SSD. Amazing combo that produces zero noise. My ThinkPad Edge should've been named Envy [sorry, HP]. great!
  • Portability (size / weight) Just superb great!
