  • Abstract:  Really, HP has hit a home run here: the Gorilla Glass Envy 14 Spectre is both unique and drop dead gorgeous. It will turn heads. It will make you smile and feel proud if you have even a smidgen of vanity. It's one of the few n...

  • Great build quality. USB 3.0 makes for a good boost. Industry-leading touch pad. Backlit keyboard. Dual-band Wi-Fi
  • Base model storage a bit small for the current day
  • The new 13-inch MacBook Air might not be the huge revision we were hoping for, but it's still an excellent laptop borne out of years of refinement....

  • And that's it. If you bought a MacBook Air last year, there frankly isn't enough here to warrant an upgrade, but if you didn't, there's one more treat in store: prices for both 13in models and the higher-specification 11in have been slashed, making them c...

  • Faster; Flash storage; price drop
  • Limited upgrades, $1,099 (11-inch: 64GB); $1,249 (11-inch: 128GB); $1,349 (13-inch: 128GB); $1,689 (13-inch: 256GB)
  • The MacBook Air line has always been about compromise – as we wrote back in 2008, the Air was initially appealing mainly to people for whom small size and light weight were more important than the features the Air was missing. But two things have happe...

  • The 13-inch MacBook Air has new Intel CPUs, better battery life, and an improved 720p Webcam, and finally adds USB 3.0 ports, while shaving $100 off the price from last year's models
  • The design, while strong, stays largely the same: there's no Ethernet port, and the base SSD storage option of 128GB is smaller than a standard hard drive, though common for ultrabooks
  • This year's MacBook Air opts for gradual improvements rather than anything revolutionary, but lowered prices continue to make it the go-to mainstream recommendation for any MacBook owner-to-be....

  • Abstract:  For a while now, ultraportables have been the only class of laptop that really matters. Sure, you can find more powerful machines for less money. But the mix of portability, speed, and beauty—along with the miniature muscle of Intel's Ivy Bridge chi...

  • Yes. The price range on the MBA starts at $1000 and runs up to $2200 fully loaded. Our review unit was $1600 as configured, which is in line with the best ultrabooks. Other laptop manufacturers have built on the gains they made in last years round of ult...

  • Abstract:  As convenient as it is being a “ Blackberry boy ” for business on-the-go, it won't do for long emails and viewing multiple pages. iPads are all well and good, but can you touch-screen type a 10 page presentation? Didn't think so. But neither do you want y...
