By now, everyone has their own opinion on how great or utterly ridiculous the Macbook Air is due to the lack of some inherent features we’ve come to grow accustomed to. Since we’ll have to wait a couple more months (hopefully less) for the Air to arrive, let’s hear out those who are fortunate enough to have gotten theirs already.

The undeniable source for everything good and bad about Apple is probably this quartet of gentlemen: David Pogue, Ed Baig, Steven Levy and Walt Mossberg. If you do have the time, you can check out their individual reviews, but if you’re in a hurry, Gizmodo gives a summary and comparison of each one’s take on the anorexic Air as shown in the table above.

They’ve also released some benchmark results as compared to a Macbook and Macbook Pro. There’s nothing new really to report as we already expected the Air to be less powerful than its pumped-up well-chiseled brute sibling, the Macbook Pro. What’s surprising though is the Mp3 encode test which should have gone the Pro’s way.

Head on over to the Giz to check out how they conducted their tests and see some Xbench results for your own indulgence if you want to compare the Air to your own system. Engadget, on the other hand, has released a more comprehensive stand-alone review of the Air. For us, we’ll reserve judgement once we get our grubby hands on one of this beauties ourselves.
