A Quick Tour of the MacBook Air - Touching the Air: 2 Finger Scrolling

Baseline takes a quick and dirty tour of Apple's latest laptop, the MacBook Air. Is this gorgeously designed device ready for seasoned business users and road warriors?

Scrolling is always nicer when you can use the large touch pad and motion towards your body. It's fast too. Did we mention that Apple took the gesture motions from the iPhone? Well, they did, and it's a great feature.  This thing also comes pre-installed with Remote Disc, software that allows you to locate and find other PCs or Macs in your network and share disk space making up for the lack of an optical drive.

Business Advantage: Efficiency through touch; You don't need everything stored on this locally.

Business Drawback: Have to use an external optical drive separately to install Windows install discs like Parallels or Boot Camp, but once installed, will work.
