Been a PC user since last 20 years of my life and this is my 2nd Macintosh. Ordered it during the Great Summer Sale on 8th May and got it at 8:30 AM 9th May. I had just woken up when the delivery person handed me the parcel. Talk about a nice start to the day.
Ok, coming to the actual product itself, the packaging was immaculate. Kudos to Amazon/Seller for such great care in Packing the Mac. The Mac itself was housed inside the now famous minimalist Apple Packaging. No sight of pervious use /wear n tear noticed. On the package, it was mentioned : The month of production was April 2015 and I got it on 9th May. Isn't that sweet?



Now this Macbook Air 13" is a sweet little machine. Trust me on this. This one is a shade little better than the previous Mac I got (Macbook Air 11 2014 model). Not much of a huge difference in performance other than a upgrade in processor and screen real estate. Now coming to the screen, this is a non retina display, which means on this day and age of super HD and IPS and Retina displays, this one feels a little old (display wise). Well I knew what I was getting and no gripes on that. But don't get me wrong.The screen is really good. Good for usual browsing, word processing and movie watching. I haven't done gaming on my Mac yet, and I don't intend to as well. (You Know Macs are not that famous for gaming)
Till I wrote this review I managed to edit videos on Apple Final Cut Pro X, and I am really impressed with it. This is a tiny machine but has got enough juice in it to export videos at 1080p under 2 Mins.
Apple India should give its customers the freedom to upgrade the specs like they allow in the US Apple site. 4gb Ram and 128 GB HDD space as of 2015 may look a little cramped. Come on Apple India, we Indians can't buy a Mac book very forth year, can we?
My suggestion would be to buy a external HDD (if you dont have one) and also a protector cover for the body as well as silicone keyboard cover.
I am very happy with the battery performance. Also remember that in order to increase the battery efficiency, always charge 100% let it discharge as well...Do not always keep that AC power on.

The screen’s bezel uses a slightly textured material and it was nice to see there are no lights or LEDs to cause any distractions or break up the clean design. The display’s hinge was also solid and felt like it could live up to the rigours of extended use.
