Are you thinking about buying a Macbook Air? Smart decision! They are particularly useful if you travel for work a lot, as their light and highly portable design make them a breeze to carry around. Whether you have had one for a few years or just purchased one last week, there are a few guidelines you should follow in order to keep it running as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

Here are a few essential tips for every Macbook owner to help improve their laptop's appearance and battery life, among other aspects:

• Hide the Dock: You want to be able to quickly access all of your files, but having the Dock disappear automatically is a great way to ensure you have the most screen space to use, which is particularly important with the smaller models.
• Invest in external storage: While the Macbook Air is wonderful for traveling purposes, it might not have as much storage as you would like. To help circumvent this problem, be sure to purchase inexpensive outside storage - such as a USB drive - to make sure you have back-ups of important documents or files.
• Maximize the battery: One of the best ways to ensure that the Macbook Air battery lasts as long as possible is by keeping a close eye on the brightness of the screen. The best battery life will come when you keep the screen at only 65 percent brightness, along with minimizing the usage of any actively running applications.
