The editors didn't like
The 128GB SSD drive is a lot smaller than a standard hard drive. This also starts at $100 more than the 13-inch MacBook Pro
RAM isn't replaceable
No matte screen option
Still pretty pricey
Design hasn't evolved much. Still low in the storage stakes. Parts of the base get warm. Lacks ports common in other laptops. Thunderbolt isn't much use — yet
Abstract: This is the biggest enhancement. My biggest complaint about past MacBook Airs was the lack of fast i/o ports. The USB 2.0 ports provided were painfully slow. Adding...
Bright and crisp display, Comfy backlit keyboard, Nearly double performance of last model, Thunderbolt support, Best-in-class trackpad
SD cards stick out from the side
We already loved the 13-inch MacBook Air, and Apple's improvements make it the perfect notebook as far as we're concerned. When you combine a sleek ultraportable design with a great display and touchpad then nearly double the performance--without sacri...
Abstract: Product round-up It took a little while for the production lines to get going, but the first few months of 2012 have seen super-slim Ultrabooks completely outnumbering every other type of desktop or laptop PC coming our way. Intel’s tight definition o...
The most expensive of the thin and light laptops we've tested recently, the 13in Apple MacBook Air will set you back the best part of a grand and a half. This makes it a sizeable investment, but one you're unlikely to regret – the build quality is phen...
Battery life, Graphics, Great performance, Display resolution creates illusion of a much larger screen, Design, Ultra thin and lightweight,
All in all, the Apple MacBook Air (mid 2011) is a compact, light and extremely powerful machine. With 4GB of memory and a very quick 1.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, the MacBook Air is capable of all tasks that you throw at it.With the ability...
Beautiful, Quick and powerful, Great screen, Flexible, fast Thunderbolt connectivity, Excellent build quality
Expensive, Limited connectivity without adapters
Aside from the keyboard backlight, the key upgrade involved in the latest-generation MacBook Air is the use of a Sandy Bridge Intel Core i5 processor. This is a dual-core chip running at 1.7GHz, and gives great overall productivity results. To see how it...
Very slim and light (1.35 Kg), Large multitouch touchpad, Higher performance and battery life than the 2010 version and the MacBook Air 11.6inch, Decent audio quality, 6h12 battery life
Glossy panel with inaccurate colours, Low gaming capacity, Tends to heat up, Poor connectivity
Bigger, more powerful and with a higher battery life than its 11.6-inch version, the MacBook 13.3-inch represents one of the - if not the - best choices for those looking for a powerful, mobile machine. Note however that a richer connectivity wouldn't ...
The Apple MacBook Air 13in (Mid-2011) that we reviewed carries the maximum memory and storage of 4GB and 256GB. If you can work with 128GB of flash storage, the price drops to £1099, which is unbeatable even amongst shabbier-built ultraportable imitato...
