Is this better than a Macbook Air?

No, not even vaguely. Also, please note, this is a Windows PC and not a Mac system.

This question is along the lines of "is Ford better they Chevy." Both are transportation - both get you where you want to go. In both situations, one being better than the other, is all dependent on your individual taste and wants. I would suggest you find a retailer for each machine and sample the features of each. In the end beauty remains in the eye of the beholder.

It is a PC running Windows, not a Mac. If you are a Mac follower, a Windows PC is not your answer. If however you are looking for a PC (running Windows) this is a great laptop!

I can't speak to the Mac but the X1 Carbon is light and powerful. With the docking Port it is very versatile; without this it is a good mobile device but not something that can be easily used with multiple monitors, keyboards etc due to a lack of usb ports.

I have a Mac book, but from what I know about the air. There shouldn't be a problem using it on the air.

I just went with the old (early 08') macbook...not even the macbook pro. It has firewire, plus you can get a faster chip for much less. the 13.3" screen is not as small as you might think. If you want to spend more money then I feel that either of the macbook pro's are excellent choices.

The iPad Air is thinner, lighter, shorter and not as wide as the iPad with retina display, although the screen size is the same. In addition it has the A7 processor which makes it faster than the iPad with retina display. I love my iPad Air!

No, the mac book air doesn't feel any heavier at all. All of the portals are exposed so you can plug anything into the lap top while the cover is on it.

Lenovo yoga hardware specs are better than mac book air. You can fold and rotate Lenovo yoga whereas mac book air is like traditional laptop. Yes, MacBook air is thinner than Yoga and Apple's red eye retina display gives true colours (which apple claims but I have found Lenovo yoga's colour resolution is as true as real!!). I am not a fan of Mac OS, its window management, maximising & minimising windows and apps are terrible (in my opinion). Lenovo has windows OS and windows OS is very easy to work on (for me). I hope this helps! Thanks

My guess is not. The MacBook just doesn't have the same form factor as the MacBook Air and the dock is built for the dimensions of the Air.

Sorry, I ended up returning the Acer and purchased a little Mac Air which I thoroughly enjoy!

Macbook Air - It could, but the view is crappy. It's only meant for mobile devices. Ipad Air - I don't think it's HD. I have only connected it with my Ipad2. I doubt it.

If you are asking if MacBooks are more internet friendly they are. they will run all of the current versions of flash, netflix,etc.ibooks are older notebooks that will not do several web standards very well, like flash etc.we sell ibooks for people who are familiar with there performance and aware of there limitation.

As I said on your review (of a machine you never actually used), I am doubtful that your MacBook Air was really DOA. You seem really uninformed. (For example, the original MacBook Air has a 80 GB hard drive.) The penny-pinching is also indicative of someone who should probably not be in the market for an MBA. It is not a budget computer.

What do you need the mac for? Professional videography or photography? If you have the money to spare and get an awesome laptop then yes get it.If you just want to browse and check emails and need to save money then no, get a cheaper pc.I love my mac very much. no problems like the windows pc. My windows pc always has popups about how my program stopped responding/working.The mac is a much easier-to-use system.

Thank you all for the replies. That really cleared most of my concern. Now I'm trying to decide between Macbook Air and Macbook Pro. I still prefer macbook air because of the weight (thanks for bringing up the heavy textbooks factor:). however if it turns out Windows software is necessary, i might be interested in a macbook that's easier to setup two os. From what I heard so far, macbook air would be a headache to do that because of the lack of DVD/CD rom. I still have a lot of time before making the final decision though. Thanks again for your inputs.

In response to your post. The processor difference in terms of ghz won't be major, the ram should compensate for that although it serves a different purpose. Check what cache and front bus speed is for the HP, the apple's is 600+ mhz and 4 mb cache. So check those up. It really depends on ur use. If u require a larger screen then go for the hp. If u want more portability and a better os (my opinion at least), go for the mac. Just remember that if u go for the hp, u can't load mac os on it, whereas with the mac u can load both vista and tiger. Also, I would say the build quality on the apple is much better than Hp's i've seen (the plastic is much higher quality). Be sure check the model out IN PERSON to see the build quality. Check if ur down with that new shiny fimsy plastic Hp's been using.

Go for the new air it is powerful enough for most users and very handy. Nothing beats the looks and usability of an air.

The Mini is very popular for this purpose. Several friends use them (even the previous version) and love them. I'm planning to buy one myself in the next few weeks. I get full 1080p when attaching my MacBook, so I expect no different from the Mini. But I would get it with 2 GB of RAM (you can add it later or order direct from Apple with the RAM upgrade as a build-to-order option).

I am so thru with Micro crap, Windows 8 was the last straw. I love my Mac, so much faster and no spyware issues. There are a few incompatibility issues but I can live with them. 120gb hard drive and 1gb ram should be good unless you have huge storage needs like lot's of videos and pictures. Takes some getting used to, read the manual when starting out.
