My Own MacBook Air

My family loves the Macintosh Laptops. We go through so many in a year. About four months ago I spilled lemonade all over my old MacBook Pro laptop, and it totally destroying it, and it couldnt be fixed. As a result, my parents got me the MacBook Air. I absolutely love my laptop, one feature I like the best, is that its so light. It is so easy to just put in a bag and carry out the door. One feature that I sometimes dont like, is that it doesnt have CD drive.I used to love watching DVDs on my old laptop, but now that technology has improved so much I can just watch my videos on my Ipod.
