I took delivery of mine yesterday morning and I absolutely adore it. I have to fully agree with what Gruber wrote. If you are looking for a compact, very mobile solution, the Air is exactly designed for that and leaves little to be desired. Apple should add another display unit to the M3 processor, but it isn't a problem for me - I could have had a 14" MB Pro for little more, as it was on sale on Amazon, but I went for the Air to have the more portable solution. I also quite liked the idea of not haven any fan in my computer. I still remember the times when computers for private usage didn't have fans yet.

- _ph_ 4y agoWell, that was the time, when home computers ruled the world :) Like the C64, the Amiga 500, the Atari ST. The very first ARM computer, the archimedes. Indeed, PCs always had fans, were big and noisy. But home computers, you just switched on.
- Tagbert 4y agoDuring the days of the Commodore 64, Atari, and some others (early to mid 80’s) those devices did not have fans.
- _ph_ 4y agoSome did into the early 90ies. Mind you, PCs at that time had a fan in the power supply but not on the CPU. My mother had a 486/33, that didn't even had a heat sink on the CPU.
