In many ways, the Macbook Air may be the pinnacle of design -- even for a company that is universally praised for its design. The ability of the engineers to create a machine as powerful as a Macbook, but reduce its thickness to less than two centimeters and its weight to just over a two pounds is truly remarkable. As its name would suggest, the Macbook Air is still a delicate machine despite all of the computing power that i crammed inside.
The unibody design provides an armoring of sorts but since the slim machine can be especially vulnerable to dents, an extra layer of protection is recommended. And since these are not cheap -- (cost of a Macbook Air models start at $999) -- it is essential that it is properly protected.
Macbook Air Sleeves
There are a lot of Macbook Air accessories that help protect it against damages. A Macbook Air sleeve. made from leather or neoprene provides a snug, safe fit for the computer. Users who prefer a Macbook sleeve like that, when inside, the Macbook Air doesn't rattle around or get scratched by loose items the way it would in a larger, looser case.
Macbook Air Hard Shell Cases
Hard shell Macbook Air cases are another Macbook user favorite. The Macbook Air case functions as a second skin that clips on to the body of the computer.
Macbook Air Briefaces
For Macbook users who prefer a little more professional style while protecting their computer, a Macbook Air briefcase is available. Manufactured in messenger bag, handbag, and traditional styles, a Macbook Air briefcase can provide protection without losing the professional look a lot of Macbook Air users expect from larger laptop cases.
