I've had a few apple computers over the years and tried this laptop out but didn't like it, for anyone who works online they should stick with a normal sized laptop this is good for anyone who only checks emails and browses the web.

Pros
Super-thin, light and portable. Generous amount of RAM. Backlit keyboard useful on-stage. Multi-Touch is slick. It'll make your mates jealous!
Cons
Poor connectivity. Small, slow hard drive. Expensive for the spec.
Verdict
A beautifully designed laptop that’s primed for the wireless world, but serious music makers should spend £100 extra and go for the MacBook Pro.
