Actually, if I’m being honest, I went there to get Pliny the Elder, the best beer (an IPA) in the world. I went there to kill time before heading to the Microsoft party that night. I worked there until 5:45 pm until I moved to the Mariott down the street to work from the bar. It estimated I had 6 hrs 23 min remaining. I got back into the press room to reply to emails and do more writing around 4pm and again checked my battery status out of habit. I remained working in the press room until 2:00 pm when I left to meet up with some friends and check out the exhibits. The battery status indicator estimated I still had 9 hrs 57 min left on battery power.

((When lunch is free in the press room you learn to get there to get in line early.)) Out of habit, I instantly checked how much time I had left on battery power. I sat down and opened my Air in the press room a little after 11:00 am. ((I’m also noticing this new Air is charging faster, taking roughly two hours to go from nearly empty to fully charged)) I used the machine non-stop until the keynote ended around 10:45 am when I shut my notebook and walked to the press room to write.

They had power outlets available at the tables but I didn’t plug in since I was working on a full charge from the night before. The press and media were let into the keynote at 8:30 am, which is about the time I sat down and opened my notebook. My first true all day computing test happened this last week when I attended Microsoft’s build conference. After working for the past 20 min, I just looked at the estimated time remaining and it says 13 hrs and 08 min. As an aside point, I started this column after a full nights charge. Doing my normal workflow at home or on the go, I am charging my new MacBook Air about every two days. Because I am bouncing around Silicon Valley so often, I usually do a lot of these tasks from Starbucks or some other location where I can use Wi-Fi. Obviously, as I go from place to place my notebook is not open and just in sleep mode.Įven when I am stationary or at a desk, I’m mostly checking email, Twitter, working on a column or report, or just browsing the web. At these meetings I am usually note taking, or sharing a presentation with our market insights. More often than not I am on the road heading to other companies offices for meetings. I don’t have a desk job so I am highly mobile on a regular basis. Often times what will come up in this discussion is what a typical computing day looks like for me. No longer do I need to plan my day around a power outlet. It seems like a small thing, but not having to worry about, or even really think about where I sit in meetings, at airports, in airplanes, etc., is wonderfully freeing.

This is the same feeling I have now using the new MacBook Air.

Being able to drive longer and farther without having to think or plan trips around gas stations was wonderfully liberating. The experience actually reminds me quite a bit like the first time I got a hybrid car. Transformative is another word I’ve heard from those I’ve talked with who also have one of the new Airs. There is something wonderfully liberating about not needing to worry about plugging your laptop in. They did it with one feature that has taken notebook computers to a new level–true all-day battery life. With the recently released 2013 refresh, Apple just made the perfect notebook even better. A few years back I declared the 13″ MacBook Air the perfect notebook.
