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

Sounds like you've already gotten the right answer and have ordered this model. Just to reassure you, I have had this Zenbook for about 6 months (I am a diligent review reader before making a purchase) and have been extremely happy with it. It is very light, sleek, and quick. The battery is respectable and I appreciate that it stays cooler than any laptop I've ever had, which makes laptop use possible without the need for leg protection. I, too, wanted to stick with Win7. I think you will like it.

they both look pretty good to me according to laptop magazine's reviews. I think it depends on which keyboard you prefer cause that's one of the most important aspects. Also, the trackpad seems better on the toshiba but there's not multitouch which I use a lot on the asus for two finger scrolling. Also, if you plan to use the camera for video conferencing, then the Asus has a 1.3 mp camera versus the toshiba's 0.3 mp. Keep in mind only the toshiba black one is cheaper and it's because the keyboard is not as good and the build quality is cheaper. The other toshibas which are $399 are more expensive than the 1005ha. One advantage on the on the toshiba is the hard drive protection. Other than that it seems like personal preference to me. Both screens on the asus and toshiba are glossy. It's just the lid on the toshiba is matte. It seems like that is the trend on the newer generation of netbooks for some reason even though a lot of people prefer matte screens. I recommend going to Best Buy and trying them out in person first. They sell a lesser variation of the Asus there and also the same toshiba.

I would definitely opt for the smaller 13" macbook. Its more than powerful enough even for my needs as a software developer. Its very portable and great for travel. However, at home when you want a bigger screen I just hook it up to a nice big 22" Dell external monitor with external keyboard, mouse. That way it acts like a nice big desktop machine but has the portability of small laptop. You get the best of both worlds. The price difference between the macbook and the mbp is $400-$700 and you could easily use that savings to get a nice external monitor, keyboard, mouse.

I returned it and got a Lenovo Yoga. It seems to be much better (except from the backlit keyboard of the XPS). I saw no point in buying something just to send to the factory with a warranty claim. I used to be a fan and recommend Dell to everyone. I will never buy a Dell again.

Bird's Word: I've tested 2 of the 4 front runners (Acer & OSI) and the biggest differences I've noticed between the 3 (I know nothing about Lenovo's product) are Price, Monitor, Warranty, Touchpad & Upgradability (in order of personal import). Winner Acer - Best Display (Reflective TFT), Warranty (2 Year US / 1 Year International - I've NEVER seen this before! - Buy with Amex and get 1 additional year) and Touchpad Management Features Honorable 2nd ASUS - Best Price for Retail Value & Only Unit w/ Upgradable RAM Distant 3rd OSI - Best Screen Size (Non-Reflective TFT) I could say alot more but I think everyone needs to do their own reasearch and bargain hunting to ensure you find the best unit/deal for your personal need(s). Happy Hunting! J. Bird, CEO, BIG Ideas

It honestly doesn't really matter. It's all about your preference on which one is the best. If you're talking about the quality and speed, then try and find one that has a 2 g/hz processor or above. I personally like dells, they are a very reliant computer. Plus, they have a very cool look to them. But, to me, if you're willing to spend some money, MacBooks are the way to go. Not only does the software not crash, apple has always had very good products. The only draw-back to it is the cost. So, in conclusion, it's all about what you're willing to spend.

i think the issue is supply. Lenovo no longer makes Yoga 13 computers so most sites have very few of them. Thus you pay more for them.

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.

I returned the Lenovo and went for an apple product. I m very satisfied about it and its super fast.

The MacBook Air is designed to be ultra portable. It is thinner, lighter, with better better life at the cost of being less powerful. The MacBook Pro is designed to be more powerful. With the exception of the standard 13" MacBook Pro, the new Retina models are thinner with better battery life than the older generations. The MacBook Pro is slightly heavier, thicker and more powerful.

I would get the MacBook Pro - the new ones have the new trackpad - and you get an Optical drive, Ethernet etc. You never know what kind of project you will be assigned or what type of medium your classmates will give you. And while I love my MBA - it wouldn't be worth taking the chance as a student. I would also recommend purchasing Office 2008 for macs while you are at it - while iWork 08 can read any file (.doc, .xls, .ppt) it usually screws up the formatting.

Sorry for the late reply. I bought this macbook air in May of this year and did not know there are different types of macbook. Sorry but can not answer your question.

I'm not sure you should probably ask the seller, but it probably won't being that the mac air is so thin in comparison to the regular mac books.
