Flaws

Gizmodo pointed out that there are a few flaws in the MacBook Air that are apparent. Like the iPod the MacBook Air won’t be easy to open. This means it will be difficult to upgrade or even replace RAM, hard disk or battery. Either remain happy with the stock MacBook Air or ship it back to Apple to be upgraded.
