Pricey for an 11inch laptop with an older processor
Just as thin as the 11-inch Air and only 0.6 pounds heavier. Longer battery life. SD card slot. Flash storage. Larger trackpad. High-resolution display. Ports are on the case instead of under a flip-down door.
No optical drive, Ethernet, or FireWire. Core 2 Duo instead of the newer Core i3.
Both machines are a good bet, but a slight edge goes to the 128GB 11-inch model for its tiny size but decent storage. If these Macs used a newer Intel chip (Core i3, say?) and came with 3G radios, they’d get perfect scores.11-inch 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo Ma...

Abstract: Personally, my ideal MacBook Air would offer 256GB of storage in the 11.6-in. model -- and a backlit keyboard. In the meantime, this one should fit the bill quite nicely, particularly for..

Make no mistake about it, the new MacBook Airs are very good laptops. What they lack in speed and power, they make up for in build quality and big time battery life. Add to that gorgeous displays, solid state storage, and the unquestionably stable OS X, a...
Very thin and light for any notebook, Extremely fast SSD, Sharp, colorrich LCD, Fullsize keyboard and trackpad, Good graphics performance, Very long standby time, Finally two USB ports,
Expensive compared to some CULV systems, Uses an older Core 2 Duo instead of Core i3 or i5, Battery life is strictly adequate, No card reader or FireWire, No backlit keyboard.
The performance of the 11-inch MacBook Air, its form factor coupled with its bundled iLife suite of apps makes it a compelling purchase for many Mac fans as well as Windows switchers who either need a gradual easing-in with a notebook. As people who tr...
Abstract: When questioned about netbooks, Apple's chief operating officer Tim Cook said the company had "a couple of interesting ideas" about tackling a segment that has focused on bargains over speed. We've now seen what was meant by the plurality in that sta...
Abstract: So, if you're considering picking up a new MacBook Air one the first concerns you should have is what kind of power this little beast has, and if its going to be too slow for daily use. Unscientifically I can tell you, its a surprisingly capable little ma...
