I had heard that MacBook airs were over $1000.  I could not afford one, however I thought I would check Amazon for the MacBook Air, I was surprised to see it was under $400 and it would be delivered in 2 days, Christmas was in 3 days!  I didn’t know what to expect.  Would it work? Could it play games with out storage filling up? Would my son think it was over $1000?  All these questions went through my mind.  On Christmas morning he got the only gift he requested.  After working on the laptop all day,  he was quiet as a mouse.  It worked perfect.  No complaints at all!  Yeah!  6 months later and still no complaints!  Success!
