the macbook air can handle applications that the iphone can't, the obvious
keyboard and USB interfaces also make a huge difference, CPU, RAM and storage
capacity also make a considerable difference. what you have to consider is what
exactly you want to achieve with the product?

Are you serious? Its faster, has USB ports, supports flash, has a physical
keyboard, a larger screen, Runs Mac OSX apps, etc, etc, etc. Now, that doesn't
mean its better than an iPs product but, you really are compairing apples to
oranges here.

Vivianna,
Personally I have an Air, the 11in model, as well as an iPad and iPhone.
I take my Air with me anywhere where I am heading on business, I do use it on
the train and take no specific measures to stop it being stolen, other than of
course not leaving it unattended. I do not, and would
Vivianna,
Can I ask you what makes you want to use your laptop in such a public location?
you do not see that many folk doing such things, unless they are in a small
group of people all doing it.. say a small group of office workers etc.
but, I've seen very few individuals on their own doing
sorry to chime in here but I'm starting to find this bit of concern frustrating.
the whole purpose of a laptop is taking it on the road, to any location. the
macbook air lends itself perfectly, especially for networking, etc. so the
whole point of going to an internet cafe or a coffee shop with
um, wow. here loads of folks sit at coffee shops with their computers, iPads,

Hi Vivianna, Alex, Ricardo, Chris, Jane, Garth, Gigi, Emrah, Kawal, and Marc,
First off, there is a Find My Mac program that is like Find My iPhone for
iOS devices. You can register your machine for it if you are running Lion, and
also have enabled iCloud services. Since I've only migrated to

Hi all,
so, i went out and bought myself this super cool, super fast macbook air. now,
the reason that i bought this fine machine is because of it's small size and
portability. well, now that spring is here, i am wanting to take it out with
me to coffee shops etc. i live in a city and am
Well, I don't have an air, but they are so small and light you could
just get a little case to wear across your body. When the laptop is
not in use, toss it in the case; when it is, you will have your hands
on it anyway, so no problem. This way, when you aren't using it, it
will be tucked away in
Hi,
I personally just put my macbook in my book bag when I travel.

I bought a backpack so when I'm not using my MacBook I just pop it in
there. If I usually sling it over one shoulder but if I need both hands
I can put it on all the way. In other words, I don't lock it down, I
keep the laptop with me. If you must lock it then you might want one of
these:
Hi all,
i think you misunderstood me. yes, i have a case for my air and, i also carry
it in a backpack. what is my concern is having it stolen right out of my
hands. say, for example, that i am sitting outside at a coffee shop and typing
away on the computer with my earbuds in and someone
Hi
I am always using my Air in public. I am writing this email on the train to
work at the moment. I had similar concerns to you when I first got my air but
very soon got over them. I use it in coffee shops all the time. I would tend to
get a seat inside rather than one on the street though.
Whenever I've been to a coffee shop, I get lucky and find a Mac geek nearby, a
sighted one, who is happy to keep an eye on stuff. Even if there isn't one of
those, the other people in the shop are quick to note if there are any people
around and warn me. But int he places I hang out at,
Hi Viviana.
I think you're being cautious if you have a concern. I think paranoid is when
you just won't get your Mac Air out because you're afraid unreasonably.
My sighted brother had a laptop stolen from him because two guys worked
together. One distracted him and pretended to be hurt; when
Wow!
More than the hardware, I am concerned about the data, so my hard drive is
fully encrypted.
I don't know if you are being too paranoid or not. I just think that your MBA
will feel very upset if you don't use it in public. :)
You need some guts to steal a laptop like that. I must be lucky or
Hi All.
I can only say that my I phone 4S and Mac Book Pro are not insured and I have
no concerns of using my gadgets in public. I know that we may be more at risk
of having our things stolen but I'd like to think I want to be like my sighted
counterparts that I do not want to be restricted
I am wondering what you use for data encryption. That's more my concern. If
someone swipes my mba then they have a lot of data. Are there vo friendly
encryption programs out there?

What would everyone here think of a device which was inserted into a USB slot
on an Air or Iphone and, when yanked out, would completely disable the computer?
I owned a stun gun and it had a wrist lanyard which was attached to a part of
the gun. IF the gun was yanked from your hands, the part
