  • Our main issue with the Apple MacBook Air is the price. At £850 for the basic model and £1000 for our review model it certainly isn't cheap (although lets not forget the original MacBook Air debuted at around £1200). Especially when you consider you can g...

  • If you're in the market for a super small laptop, then we've yet to see a more desirable option than the 11.6-inch Apple MacBook Air. It's thinner than any of its rivals, features all the style we've come to expect from Apple, and offers a full sized keyboard. The biggest improvement with the 11.6-inch Apple MacBook Air is the inclusion of more ports – not least a second USB port. It means you'll
  • Despite costing over £800, the Apple MacBook Air features the previous generation of Intel processors. It's still plenty quick enough to carry out most office tasks, but it's a shame that Apple hasn't included a cutting-edge Intel Core i3 processor.
  • As with the previous Apple MacBook Air, the latest model is still a slight compromise. It's not quite fast enough to be your only computer, but if you need a travelling companion there's nothing more stylish or portable currently on the market. Best of...

  • The 11-inch dynamo, the smallest and lightest laptop in Apple history, the one with the £849 price tag, is quite possibly the most desirable laptop Apple has ever made. The release of the iPad made me wonder if I’d consider a Mac laptop as my constant...

  • Pricey for an 11.6in. notebook with an older processor, Lacks backlit keyboard and SD card slot
  • Apple has made the MacBook Air both smaller and less expensive, creating an excellent ultraportable, but leaving out a few features along the way.…

  • Abstract:  Though you could always moan about the relative lack of processing power and ports on previous builds of the MacBook Air, there was never any denying that it was a slick looking piece of kit. Quite remarkably, Apple have not only managed to slim do...

  • Abstract:  Apple's Macbook Air is a a notebook that is aimed at people who like to travel light and still have the full functionality of notebook. The original Macbook Air that was launched in 2008 got updates through 2008 and 2009 in terms of hardware, but not i...

  • Extremely thin and light, sturdy build quality, very good display, comfortable keyboard, excellent trackpad, good battery life, quick startup time, respectable performance despite slow processor
  • No backlight for keyboard, no external battery status indicator, speakers could have been bit louder, 64GB on base model is too less, 128GB model is too expensive
  • The 64GB MacBook Air is priced at Rs. 60,900 (MRP). Now it might seem that the price is a bit on the higher side, but as we found out during the review, you do actually get what you pay for. Let's face it; you will be hard pressed to find a machine tha...

  • Older Core 2 Duo processor, No ethernet, card slot
  • The 11-inch MacBook Air ultraportable laptop is an elegant style statement. It has speedy flash storage, improved graphics and offers 5 hours of battery life. A well-balanced 11-inch premium slim laptop that sells for an attractive price. ...

  • Abstract:  The new 11-inch Air is undeniably gorgeous and will win many people over purely for its looks, but is sadly just a bit too underpowered to be recommended wholeheartedly.
