MacBook Air or Pro

2KG for a laptop isn't too bad. Depends what you had before. My biggest issue with the magic mouse is the shape. Its too flat, my hand is used to a more curved mouse, has a strange user experience.

I recommend using the trackpad unless you need the accuracy/precision of a mouse.

Glad im not the only one, the thing is flat very flat.

Im getting used to it though
 
yeah at first it was quite terrible for me.

Now every other bloody mouse feels weird and monstrous in size.


Just like Natural Scrolling at first. Now I can't live without it.

Love my Magic Mouse... Good as the trackpad is I feel lost without it and, yeah, every other mouse just feels wrong now.
 
Incredible connection offering 12% off most MacBooks + office if you are a student

2kg is OK for a DTR but for a portable it's a lot for a machine in 2013. I just purchased a NEC LaVie Z i7/256GB SSD 13.3 inch ultraportable for a relative. Changed Windows language from Japanese to English and downloaded the ENG language pack for the included Office 2013 Business. But the thing weighs 875g and compared to any machine from Apple, Dell, etc, it's so light. It makes the rMBP 15 seem heavy (although it has 60% of its CPU performance.)
 
Ok - got mine - MacBook Air 13" 256SSD - will report back tomorrow - too much celebratory wine!
 
So getting the 8gb 256gb 13 retina for advertised price 14959.90.
 
My MacBook 13 MD101 thoughts so far:

Pros:
OSX
trackpad
500gb nice but feels sluggish.
Fairly responsive running Windows 7 in Parallels 9

Cons:
Weight 2.06kg, I have a 15.6 Acer that weighs less, everyone I have shown it to says its very heavy for its size at 13inch.
Screen is not as good as a Macbook Air from the same year 2012
4gb ram makes the system a bit sluggish, I think they should of added 8gb as standard, RAM isn't that expensive is it.
