Today’s video will be a little different – I’ll be unboxing my brand new Apple Macbook Air 2.13 GHZ 128GB SSD laptop. It’s an upgrade from the first generation Macbook Air 1.8 GHZ 64GB SSD. I love the form and factor of the Air as I can carry it around anywhere and start working quickly. Just have a look:

Mac Book Pro, of course. I’m a web developer, so I need all the power I can get (especially since I’m notorious for having 20 windows open in Safari) and my PowerBook G4 was getting rather long in the tooth. Hubby is now happily using the PBG4 while his Dell is in the ICU.

Macbook Air is powerful enough, very powerful actually. Especially with the SSD drive it’s really fast.
The only problem is heating – or the cooling which is not adequate and they should have engineered this thing a little better, but so far it’s fantastic!

Hey Michael,
I don’t actually like to depend on a single device, so my GTD system is in the cloud, mostly with google, with the exception of Evernote.
This provides me with everything I need, without being device dependent.
Wish I had a nice Mac Book Air like you though.
Cheers

Stephen, my GTD system is also in the cloud – with Nozbe + Evernote (and they are now integrated together!) and Google Docs + some local files.
But I need a good “terminal” to access this data and the Macbook Air is a great device for just that
It’s fun and pleasure to work with every single day!
