It was the new ivy bridge Macbook Air 11, ordered on line from Apple, it was near maxed out, i7, 8 gig memory, 256 ssd, $1805 out the door..
It came with Lion and I installed Mountain Lion...I set up Boot Camp with Windows 7...then I set up VM Fusion using Window 7 in Boot Camp
Now I've been working computes since 1980...(Field engineer on mini systems, then 3th lever tech support, now network engineer) ...I work with computes...lots of them ... And Ive worked with lots of different computer OS's
Sorry but OSX, Lion or Mountain Lion, is just hokey and crippled (or I should say the Mac OSX shell over what is left of a UNIX OS is just hokey and crippled)
And why, why, why, to Mac people rave about Mac getting thing that Window has been doing for years as if Mac just invented it?...It just shows Mac uses have no real awareness of other computers and so have no other point of reference...
Mountain Lion..now you can wireless send your display to your HDTV...Oh wow...it called WiDi, its build in to the Intel chips and windows has been doing it for two years!
Running other OS in virtual machine?...doing it in windows for years..and can do it for free
The bottom line is this:
A Mac can run Window OS in a virtual machine...
And a Mac needs to run Window OS in a virtual machine just do a lot things window user take for granted or do for free with freeware
And a PC running Window OS can run Mac OSX in a virtual machine (search on-line)..and do it for free
But a PC running Window OS has no need to run Mac OSX to do anything.
Except you're missing out on a ton of great Mac-only software. Oh well, your loss.
Have fun with the hassle of running Windows too...you can really only appreciate how bad it is once you're running something better.
The hardware was very nice...and the track pad was great..
Did miss the second mouse but the two finger click for right click was fine...
And I'm not being sarcastic..returning then mac to the Apple store was great...despite the hippie vibe..
It was very fast and efficient...they do have there act together
The worse thing about Apple is Apple fanboy userbase..
They blow so much BS smoke all over the internet you really have a hard time geting trueful useful info on the dam thing... their the "Stepford Wives" of computer uses

You bought a Mac, expecting to run it like Windows... and returned it because it was not a Windows PC. Brilliant. Makes lots of sense. NOT. Your statement that you set up VM Fusion in Boot Camp, then that OSX is a shell over "what's left of a UNIX OS is just hokey and crippled" shows what little you know. OSX is a full implementation of UNIX™, one of four certified to use the UNIX trade mark. Not crippled, not hokey. IF you know how to access and use it... which is quite easy... from both Lion and Mountain Lion. But you just didn't bother to find out how. And why, why, why, to Mac people rave about Mac getting thing that Window has been doing for years as if Mac just invented it?...It just shows Mac uses have no real awareness of other computers and so have no other point of reference...
Most of us are very fluent in Windows... we use Windows machines daily at work. You are the ignorant one... you demonstrate it with your post. You don't know HOW to use a Mac.
