Apple's been touting the 2010 Macbook Air as the thinnest and lightest notebook ever. With the 11.6" MBA out in stores and an entry-level unit coming in at Php52k, it's actually one of the most affordable Macbook in Apple's line-up. The original Macbook Air almost got me, but the size and the prohibitive price was something I could not chew on. This is practically my first full review of any Macbook line so I don't have any priors to compare it with. I have had short encounters with previous versions of Macbooks, Snow Leopard, and even applications like Aperture.

The Air is almost completely built out of aluminum -- from the lid cover, to the bezel and keyboard panel and down to the bottom end. The full-sized keyboard features chiclet-type keys, a standard for all MacBooks, which are comfortable to use especially when you're touch-typing (it's the typical Macbook keyboard).
