New Macbook Air First Impressions

2010-10-22
what's up everyone John retinue from TechnoBuffalo here we're gonna do a first boot up and initial impressions of the just redesign 2010 MacBook Air this is the 11.6 inch model and I gotta tell you it is extremely thin and very light I'm wondering if it packs any sort of punch for such a diminutive size let's go ahead and get started alright so this guy has never been powered on before it's go ahead and open it up and it's almost jarring to see such a small screen with a full-size keyboard the keyboard extends out past where the actual screen is kind of interesting so let's go ahead and turn this on the power key is actually a real button outlook sort of inlaid with all of the function keys on top so honor that little circle that's embedded in the top of the chassis let's go ahead and power this thing on see if it's got some juice to kick on here it looks like it does it's always kind of a satisfying experience hopefully we'll get the the Apple dancing music there doesn't seem open up so you guys can see it I'm generally got a minute or two wait while it boots up and does its first initialization and of course stay tuned to TechnoBuffalo and the youtube channel at youtube.com slash John four lingers for sort of all the information the MacBook Air I get this guy for just about a week and really gonna put it through the paces to see what it can do and what it can't do for that matter so here we are go ahead and use English is the main language some of these things I'm gonna have to cut out some to put in passwords and that kind of in so I'll go ahead and keep going The Snow Leopard and leopard welcome video welcoming you to match alright so bad dancing decided this like we're just about done OS 10 under what the OS 10.7 lion and look like here alright so we are in the United States to continue the trackpad to you should be pretty good on first response the MacBook Airs was the last of the Apple align to sort of have a physical button that's now just this whole kooky trackpad it seems to be pretty good they continue it doesn't have as much throw as the trackpad on the Mac books and MacBook Pros but does not be semantically penis so we're not going to transferring information right now just a demo yet I continue and if you do want to use migration assisted you could certainly use one of the USB ports or do it all over Wi-Fi go ahead and connect to Wi-Fi here go ahead and push this off to the side and type in my password alright so that is all set up and I will see that in first blush just me keyboard seems to be pretty good it does feel like using a standard Apple keyboard the option and all keys look to be a bit small although the four-way navigation is pretty decent size and the keyboard itself feels like a standard sized keyboard will go ahead and not take a picture let's pick a Sherdog hit continue and now we're gonna see how this thing handles with some HD movies just do some sort of general quick test with it so to give you some first impressions and of course I'll do sort of more thorough testing on it to see what it can do and what it can't do so here we are we are now in the MacBook Air is has never been turned on before never big packed line let's go ahead and jump on over to Safari and let's see how it handles HD video which you assume would be quite good with the NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor hasn't here in a full Core 2 Duo chip good to give us another welcome to Safari thing ignore that let's go ahead and jump on over to my youtube channel so youtube.com slash John for Lakers youtube.com slash John for Lakers it's nice now I'm trying to type this on a smartphone keyboard I always screw up whenever I am on camera all right so it's going to load and it still is a little shocking to see a full size keyboard on on a laptop is small while that's loading up it's actually look at the track pets or a first impression saying the trackpad is a little sunk in little more sunk in than we've seen on previous generations of this sort of all glass trackpad I wonder if that's unique to the MacBook Air or not they had to make some sacrifice to have it be clicky well in such a sort of razer thin profile right there so we do not have adobe flash that is very sort of typical Apple I think in gadget X reported these were shipping with out adobe flash so I'll go ahead and install that and come right back all right so we got flash installed it appears his apples wore on Adobe continues let's go ahead and bump this sucker up to 720p and let's hit play it's going to fullscreen it and not surprisingly plays very smooth you'd expect that with the Nvidia chip in here work you can sort of get a little sense with the speaker sound like too they're a little louder than I expect them to be they're certainly not gonna rock the party with these tiny speakers but you can definitely listen to your music or watch a video or two overall I take a relatively impressive at least YouTube's performance so I'll put this thing through more tests will try bulu and will try other HD video I'll have to do a first boot up and show you guys just generally without pin system look like and how quick or or not quick was an overall it seems to have pretty decent performance certainly it's not gonna compare with the core i3 i5 or i7 but it's just a either secondary or a primary computer for someone who doesn't do very heavy heavy things this may be a really nice companion to have with you I'm looking forward to having one of these for traveling and taking to and from school and we're guys anything that you want to see I'll leave it down below I'll be sure to get to it I am John Wright and you're protecting our Buffalo with a first boot up and I guess a first look at the 11.6 inch MacBook Air see you guys next video bye bye
