Apple Magic Mouse hands-on
Something that’s oddly absent, though, is pinch-zoom. While the movement itself isn’t as natural on the Magic Mouse’s surface as the other gestures it recognizes, we’d still like to see it added in. There’s also no three-finger gestures like flipping between open apps on a MacBook Pro, or...

Apple MacBook Review - Late 2008 Model

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Review - MacBook Air killer?
Measuring 317 x 226 x 22mm and weighing 1.45kg, the X300 has roughly the same footprint as the MacBook Air but adds a few millimetres thickness (the Air’s depth is a much-quoted 4-19.4mm, while it weighs a little less than the X300 at 1.36kg).

MacBook Air Review
OS X Leopard on the MacBook Air is functionally the same as on any other MacBook or Mac desktop, with only the multi-touch touchpad drivers added. That means you get the usual gamut of Safari, Mail, iChat and Boot Camp applications; since Apple also preloads the iLife suite, iPhoto, iMovie...
