While minor
The small upgrade to the stock CPU in Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air results in improved performance. The multitouch trackpad is still the industry's best

The 13-inch Air now starts at $999
Which is $100 less than the previous

The editors didn't like
No Retina screen
Not user upgradeable
Processors slower than 2012
Limited expansion options
Newer features such as touchscreens and higher-resolution displays are still missing. The ultrabook competition is catching up
In terms of design

4GB of RAM is less generous than other non-upgradable Macs
128GB storage may be too small for some

Apple MacBook Air 2013The MacBook Air 13 excites users with its slim and attractive unibody case. The workmanship is almost flawless and the noise emissions are barely noticeable (for the majority of the time).The new model supports the WLAN-Standard 802...
Apple hasn't changed the exterior of the 13-inch MacBook Air, and that's no bad thing because we love its lightweight, stylishly slim looks. The real story is in the extended battery life, which laptop users are going to love. Storage is increased in both...

If the best analysis of the 2013 MacBook Air comes through our use at the end of the day, than the MBA is a definite winner. Not only do I anticipate it to be an integral part of my tech travels throughout the year, but also, the fact that this system c...

Amazing battery life, Great build quality, keyboard, and trackpad, Good CPU and GPU performance for the size, if not too far ahead of last year's Airs, Speedy storage, More storage in the $999 11-inch model, lower price for the $1,099 13-inch model
No SD card slot in the 11-inch model, Still no cellular option, aside from smartphone tethering, The screen is still decent, but it has been surpassed in resolution and quality by several other similarly priced Ultrabooks
Five years after its introduction, the MacBook Air really has grown into a very polished, mature platform. The 2013 model is really the epitome of what Apple set out to build back in 2008, we just finally have the right hardware available to realize the v...
The 2013 MacBook Air 13 delivers what it promises: excellent battery life. As the MacBook Pro range became slimmer and more capable, not to mention introducing Retina resolution, some began to question the Air’s purpose in Apple’s range. We’ll certain...

To be able to work with a computer that is capable of data transfer speeds in excess of 700MB/s and then to have a battery charge last just over twelve hours is unheard of in any portable system, other than the 2013 MacBook Air. The inclusion of the Hasw...
Abstract: The MacBook Air isn't a "fire belching dragster." It is designed more like a "hybrid gas/electric car" that balances power with long battery life. If you want a laptop that "peels rubber," as you can see from the graphs, the Retina MacBook Pro is the "ride" you'll need....
Good build quality, Long battery life, Extremely quick solid-state storage
Design is now just average, Limited port selection, Low-resolution display with no option to upgrade, PC alternatives are a better value
The 13-inch Air's new $1,100 starting price undercuts competitors like the ASUS Zenbook X31A-DH71 and Acer Aspire S7 , but it puts Apple in an uncomfortable position. For the first time in years, the company is selling based on price rather than quality...
