Hi everyone, I am looking at replacing my current HP HDX 16 laptop with a Macbook Air 13". Currently I am experiencing major sluggishness on my laptop, as well as some hardware issues (replaced the screen 3 times under warranty, battery and power supply have been replaced, and now my touch buttons are starting to act glitchy), since I am out of warranty now I think it might be time to kick this to the curb. I do a lot of traveling so I am also looking for something lighter to carry around, hence looking at the air.
I have asked for opinions on some other forums I frequent and have been told to avoid the Air as there are some issues with the logic boards used, as well as overheating issues. Are these valid or is it anti apple talk?
For my usage I mainly use my laptop to surf the internet, watch Itunes tv and movies, music, chat programs (MSN and Skype), occasionally I might need a word processor, spreadsheet, powerpoint programs but not with any sort of regularity. From the reviews I have read the air should be able to handle all of this, but I would like confirmation from someone who has one.
So please help and school the Apple newbie.
