Alrighty, kicking off the reviews this week, we took a little test drive with the MacBook Air with M5.

Now, test drive, I mean, I've reviewed it, but I put it through my workflow.

I will describe what it's capable of, but...

The MacBook Air has been, and by the way, I was at Macworld in 2008 when Steve Jobs introduced the very first MacBook Air.

He was quite dramatic what he did.

He actually was up on stage and it was that, oh, hang on, just one more thing.

And there was an inter-office envelope on the table next to him and

And he, remember those old office envelopes?

You used to have the string, you tie it up with the string, wind it around and then you unwind it.

He did that on stage and pulled open the flap and out came the MacBook Air, which was so thin it could fit in an envelope, which was unheard of back then because laptops at the time were big and bulky.

This absolutely set not just Apple but the computer industry in a whole new path, and it has been one of their best sellers ever since.

To this day, the MacBook Air is still the most popular laptop in Apple's lineup, maybe threatened by the MacBook Neo, the $899 laptop, but I describe the MacBook Air, and having the Neo...

really puts the MacBook Air in its... You can more easily understand its place in the lineup.

MacBook Now is very much a beginner's laptop.

It's very capable, but it does have its limits in terms of performance and the high range and high-end applications that it can run.
