- The full-size keyboard makes typing much easier than on netbooks with smaller keyboards.

- The trackpad offers a surface that you can click anywhere on and allows you to make two, three and four-finger gestures.

- While there are no buttons to click or right-click with, the entire trackpad surface is clickable and right-clicking can be done by clicking down with two fingers.

- The sleep functions of the MacBook Air have been significantly improved to the point where the computer can be switched on and off instantly.
