  • No (Retina) upgrade to the display, Same old chassis, No Gigabit Ethernet or HDMI, Non-standard screen resolution, Noisy under load
  • Apple has updated what was already one of the better ultraportable laptops on the market to keep it competitive, with a downright impressive set of specification upgrades and (in theory) some of the best connectivity going thanks to its dual USB 3.0 and T...

  • One of the Surface Pro 3 commercials makes a big deal out running Adobe Photoshop on the tablet. That's big plus in comparison to the Apple iPad Air, but the MacBook Air runs the beefy photo editing app just as well. This one point of comparison seems...

  • Hello Ivy Bridge!, Gorgeous design, Extremely thin, light, and sturdy, Excellent offangle viewing, especially for a TN panel, Fast SSD, Boot Camp allows you to boot Windows on a separate partition, Long battery life
  • Missing an IO port or two, Where's the Retina Display resolution?
  • When we switched gears to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, which we installed via Boot Camp, the MacBook Air proved it was up to the challenge of running with dedicated Windows based Ultrabooks. It ran Far Cry 2 faster than any other Ultrabook we tested tha...

  • High manufacturing quality, Low weight, Compact size, Fast SSD, Good overall performance, Usually very quiet
  • Moderate screen resolution, Reflective screen, Average brightness, Barely any maintenance or upgrade possibilities, Weaknesses in thermal design
  • Again, only minor improvements. Nevertheless, Apple's MacBook Air 13 remains to be a very good subnotebook.In the review of Apple's 2011 MacBook Air we wrote, "Overall there is not much new to report about the latest MacBook Air, and that is a good thing...

  • Great looks with a lasting impression. Balance between performance, portability and battery life, doesn't really get any better than this. Good value
  • In the short term, users may favor HDMI instead of Thunderbolt. Costly upgrades all around. Retina version may see the light in the coming 12 months
  • Apple’s refresh of the venerable MacBook Air is a solid one, even if it didn’t receive the Retina display upgrade that many were hoping for ahead of its announcement. The 1440 x 900 native resolution looks great behind the glossy display while the vie...

  • Battery life has also improved thanks to Intel's 22nm silicon. You'll get between 3 - 7 hours on the 13-inch MBA, and between 1.85 - 5 on the 11-inch model. It's not all about Intel in the 2012 Airs however. The improvement in storage performance is even...
