As much as I baby my Mac Air, I decided to take it with me to Pinehurst, North Carolina. During the ride from the shuttle lot to the airport, I busted it out to show my friend who has only seen the Air from my blog. Not only did it get his attention, but two other shuttle riders instantly started up conversation. One lady said that it was a great thing Apple created. My response, "sex sells."
Since I was flying first class, I decided to buy the airplane adapter, $49! Just like HP, they kill you on the accessories. However, it served its purpose as I watched The Kingdom, worked on some excel files, and a word document. I decided to plug it in and it was a breeze since the plane used empower. It also comes with an adapter that looks like I could plug it in to a cig lighter. The adapter fits right over the empower part. Worked like a charm! The flight was about 5 hours so there was no way that I was going to last beyond the battery life.
During my vacation, I didn't use the Air much. First the resort wanted you to pay for internet connection which I wasn't about to. Second, there was no wireless in the resort, only Ethernet and I didn't purchase a $29 Ethernet dongle.
On the trip home, I put the Air in the magazine pocket on the airplane. When the announcement came over the PA that laptops are not allowed there, I moved to rearrange the Air to fit concealed. Then it happened...it dropped through the pocket! After we were airborne, I turned it on and checked it out. Everything is fine! Tough little machine...luckily the drop wasn't more than about a foot.
Still lovin' the Air!
