MacBook Airs shipping

The online Apple Store lists the MacBook Air as shipping in 2-3 weeks, however, if you ordered right after the keynote your MacBook Air might be on its way. We have received several excited emails sharing the news that MacBook Air orders seem to be shipping (one reader should have his on February 1st).

Does this lend any credence to the rumor that Apple Stores will have some MacBook Airs in stock shortly? Perhaps. Sound off in the comments if you ordered the MacBook Air right at the keynote, we want to know if it is shipping.

Macworld puts the MacBook Air through the paces

The MacBook Air is a sexy machine, there is no doubting that, but how does it perform? Our buddies at Macworld ran some preliminary tests and this thing isn't a speed demon. Macworld tested a stock MacBook Air 1.6GHz processor and the 80 gig harddrive and compared it to a stock MacBook (2Ghz Core 2 Duo), a MacBook Pro (2.2GHz Core 2 Duo), a Mac mini (1.83GHz Core 2 Duo), and a PowerBook (1.67GHz G4).

How did the MacBook Air rate? Well, it beat the PowerBook and that's something, right? All the other Intel based Macs were faster than the MacBook Air, but these results aren't too shocking. If you're interested in a MacBook Air you aren't buying it for performance, but rather for its compact size.
