Apple (AAPL) owners may love their MacBook Airs but that doesn’t mean they think they’re flawless. FixYa, an online troubleshooting guide for gadgets and computers, has put out a new survey showing the top complaints that ultrabook owners have about their computers and has found that MacBook Air owners complain most about their computers’ low memory and forced shutdowns due to overheating. That said, FixYa says that these complaints are relatively minor and that the MacBook Air overall is “a smooth device with very little to complain about.” As far as other ultrabooks go, top complaints tend revolve around poor battery life and screen quality, neither of which was cited as a major problem for MacBook Air owners.
