Nice. I would have personally gotten a white one since that's my favorite mobile device color. (except MacBooks)

Any reason you got the cellular model? I've got an iPhone that can just hotspot anything. 

Tbh, I'd kinda like to have an iPad again. The last one I had was the original iPad Air which I have since given to my Dad now that I have this MacBook. (He uses it for GarageBand) 

I went cellular because I wanted to be able to have it on installment payments and not have to always be in range of my iPhone

Hmm. The way I see it, my phone is never not with me. But to each his own. You don't even have to think about it anymore these days because your devices can auto connect to your hotspot now. 

The only problem with me is that I only get 500MB of LTE data and then I get booted down to unlimited 3G data. But 3G is AIDS slow. 

I noticed that even if I don't have the hotspot turned on, the iPad still can make it turn on

Yep. That's that happens to any device on your iCloud account. It can auto turn on the hotspot so you don't have to fumble with it. 

Is it called the air because it makes your wallet lighter?
