What parts of the MacBook Air are really sensitive and easily damageable?

I've been with my mac for over 3 weeks now, and I'm worried that some of the ways people grab it or something might damage it & I would like to know so this comptuer lasts a long time. So far it hasnt fallen. Thanks guys

well, you asked "What parts of the MacBook Air are really sensitive"
not "HOW is the easy way to damage one"
The easy way to damage one badly is from a spill.
the SENSITIVE parts, as you asked are the LCD display. They are by nature rather fragile creatures to be certain.
Cleaning Your MacBook
Use a very lightly damp, soft (if you can squeeze the cloth very tightly and even a drop comes out, its still too damp), lint-free cloth to clean the computer’s exterior. Avoid getting moisture in any openings and be very careful not to get the damp cloth around the trackpad edges or around the inside edge between the monitor and its bezel. Do not spray any type of liquid directly on the computer. Do not use sprays, solvents, or abrasives; do not attempt to use any solvents on the LCD display either directly (especially!) or indirectly. There is never any call to use any type of lens cleaning solvents on the screen of your LCD display. Again, do not spray any liquid directly on the screen. Never use Kleenex, or paper towels, these are abrasive. Soft cotton cloth only or a microfiber lens cleaning cloth.
No rubbing alcoholic, no glass cleaners of any variety, no acetone, no lens cleaning sprays, no AR coating sprays, no sprays sold as "for your LCD TV", no sprays sold as "for your notebook display". Water only, and never sprayed on, and never dripping wet even slightly on the cloth.
Use a soft paintbrush, lipstick lens-cleaning brush, or makeup brush for cleaning
One very useful tool for cleaning dust from the LCD screen, the hinge area of your notebook and around the keyboard, is a very soft inexpensive small paintbrush or a makeup brush. The less you wipe your LCD screen with anything like a cloth, the better. This small brush is very handy, quick, and ideal for removing dust from around and on your notebook. Lipstick lens cleaning brushes are sold online, and used in the photography business for camera lenses and are ideal perfect portable cleaning brushes for your macbook.
Dont press on your LCD screen or spray it
Do not attempt to use any solvents on the LCD display either directly (especially!) or indirectly. There is never any call to use any type of lens cleaning solvents on the screen of your LCD display. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen. Avoid any touching or pressure upon your LCD screen.
Also NEVER pack your Air in a backpack where books can press against the LCD assy.
Dont 'backpack' your Macbook Air without having special consideration
Many college students or people in general are fond of using non-idealized backpacks (without a padded laptop compartment) along with their books. Sandwiching books around your notebook etc. is an extremely bad idea and can lead to your LCD screen being destroyed when heavy textbooks are pressing against same, or when dropping your backpack, these books slam into your Macbook causing great potential for damage.
The other "sensitive" part isnt sensitive anymore ,the USB ports are upgraded in 2013 and are hard to cause tab damage on.
The other "sensitive" part would be the fan and dust bunnies.
Dust and fuzz residue caked onto the internal fan
Dust bunnies and Fluffy’s fur
Your Macbook’s cooling system, including fan and rear vents pull cool air in from the back and (in the case of the Macbook pro) also from the left ports bringing this air around the processor, GPU, and heat sync and blow it out the back, as such your Macbook acts like a little vacuum cleaner of the air around you. If you use your notebook in a dusty area or around a lot of pet fur, this can quickly, even under seemingly ideal clean rooms, accumulate inside your notebook especially on the fan blades reducing its capacity for cooling and in a worse case scenario seize your fan due to caked on dust on the fan blades. Avoid very dusty areas or places where, over the long term you know fuzz, fur, or even smoke can enter into your Macbook.

Hey guys i have the newest macbook air and i recently bought a magic mouse and my macbook doesn't detect it i already tried switching it on and off and all that other stuff. Any help??

when you have the same issue after the SMC reset:
put new batteries in the MM (even if the others are not empty), turn Bluetooth off then on again on the MBA, take all USB connections out (if any), delete the pairing of the MM and re pair the MM.

I've only just got the macbook air 2012 with 64gb of space and now it seems that i have run out of space..Apparently i'm using 54gb and i just can't see how thats possible, because i've only download atleast 2 apps and got iphoto and imovie.
Also i haven't got mavericks because i don't think i have enough and i just don't see how i've run out already?? How can i check how much i have left and whats taking up all the space?

Hi DanZeMan,
Click on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, then on About This Mac>More Info, then on the top of that window, click on Storage. It will show you a graphic indicating what is taking up your storage:

What is the keyboard shortcut to sleep display on the Macbook Air?

On my Macbook Pro it's ctrl-shift-eject. There is no eject button on the Macbook Air so what is it?
Yes I know about Hot Corners. Yes I know you can turn the brightness right down. I want the keyboard shortcut.

Sorry for being a Johnny-Come-Lately to this thread, but I just found it.
I do not like using a Hot Corner (alone) because it is too easy to inadvertently sleep the screen by random movement of the the cursor. However, there is a solution....
You can add a "modifier key" (e.g., the "Command" key) to the hot corner sequence so that moving the cursor to the chosen hot corner does NOT sleep the screen unless you also push and hold the modifier key.
To add a modifier key, open "System Preferences", go to "Desktop & Screen Saver", choose the "Screen Saver" tab, and click on "Hot Corners…". Open the dropdown for the corner you prefer. Before clicking "Put Display to Sleep" hold down the Command key (or another modifier key*) and then click "Put Display to Sleep".
Voilà! Now the display will sleep only if you hold down the Command key before moving the cursor to the chosen Hot Corner.
*I believe the only modifier keys available for this are Shift, Control, Option and Command -- you can use any one of them or combinations.

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

If I keep restarting the machine suddenly sometime I get mouse and keyboard control and I am able to login and work. After sometime though mouse and keyboard Control is lost again and the machine hangs.

A few questions about the Macbook Air

Well I currently have a 2011 MacBook Pro which I love but it has definetely turned into my Desktop computer. I dont really ever even take it around my house but it is a major powerhouse.
Well even though the holdidays are 6 months away around that time I am either going to be in the market for either another iPad because I currently have the iPad 1 and will seel it or maybe a Macbook Air.
I mainly use my iPad for browsing the internet, going on forums, and checking email. The iPad gets really annoying if you are trying to type and mine is very slow.
Do you think that the Macbook Air would be over kill or would it fit perfectly. The only thing I cant justify about the Macbook Air is the price. I was thinking about going refurb but I dont know if that would be the smart thing to do.
Could anyone help me out with this issue.
Thanks

I think that this is such a personal preference issue, that any answers would simply be a "what would you do?" poll.
That you already have a MBP and an iPad, you already know the advantages and disavantages of both. The Air is going to be somthing that is, in a way, having some of the features of both. The Air, insasmuch as it is portable, somewhat like the iPad, but with OS X and a keyboard. You also don't like the cost of the Air.
I don't know that here is a reasonable answer, just for the reason that we don't know how much you get out of the iPad. Personally, I ditched my iPad after I got the 11" Air. I then more, or less gravitated to the 13" Air, and then ditched my MBP. For me, the 13" Air has then replaced them both.

What Happened To The MacBook

What happened to the macbook? Why isn't the macbook in the timeline. Just the macbook pro and macbook air are in the timeline.

Ok but why did they? I am on my macbook and it is still a really awesome laptop

How to open the hidden files in the macbook air?

Hi,
I am not able to open the hidden files on my external disk. COuld you pleasee how to open?

Thank you
I deleted the whole disk. When I start the computer I press Command+R and appears the earth planet and all the networks detected by the computer. What I don´t understand is that I have a MacBook and an iPad beside the Macbook Air and both recognize the network, but the MacBook Air can´t.
I tried to use an external drive with the Macbook leopard OS but the MacBook Air didn´t recognize too.
