MacBook Air Diary-Day 6: Size comparisons
After you get over the size of the packaging you can’t help but to notice the size of the MacBook Air itself (it is, after all, the thinnest notebook computer in the world). After using it for six days, the size difference between the MBA and pretty much every other notebook computer is pretty dramatic. Especially when you’re coming from a 15-inch MacBook Pro.
One small annoyance with the MBA keyboard is the they replaced the Enter key that was to the right of the space bar with an Option key. I’m always hitting it thinking that I’m hitting Enter (like it is on the MB and MBP). I could have sworn that Jobs said that that the MBP had the same keyboard as the MacBooks. Hmm…
I decided to see how the MBA stacks up size-wise to the MacBook (MB) and MacBook Pro (MBP) and took a few pictures.
