When the original MacBook Air came out it received mixed responses. While many loved its razor-like thinness and all aluminium form factor, there were also a lot of detractors that bemoaned it as an underpowered and impractical netbook hiding in a prem...

Back in 2008, Steve Jobs slid the millimetres-thin MacBook Air from a manilla envelope, and in that instant the world of PC laptops looked dowdier than ever. For all its design flair, though, we found the Air riddled with compromises that upgrades sinc...

Laptop screens aren't reputed for their qualities. The first problem is that they still have unresponsive TN panels (from above the screen looks dark and when looking from below, white, and when you're viewing from the side you lose visibility as soon...

The MacBook Air 13.3 inch has a better size/power ratio than the 11.5 inch version. It also gives higher battery life. Of the two MacBook Airs out in 2010, we see this 13.3 inch version as the better choice...

Apple's original 13.3in. MacBook Air turned heads with its slimline design, large multi-touch touchpad and high-quality LED-backlit screen. However, it also had its drawbacks — notably, limited connectivity and upgradeability, moderate performance and...

The 2010 version of Apple's 13.3in. MacBook Air is a very desirable ultraportable notebook. We like the slimline design, the high-resolution screen, the fast boot time and the long battery life. We're less impressed by the lack of integrated mobile bro...

The MacBook Air was already one of the thinnest laptops around, yet Apple has somehow managed to shrink it even further. The new Air is unbelievably thin for a 13in laptop, but because the entire chassis is built from a single piece of aluminium it fee...

The MacBook Air is Apple's lightest and thinnest laptop, but the company made some controversial compromises to achieve this in the original model. The first Air only had one USB port, with no memory card reader, Ethernet port or any other connectivity besides...
The latest 13in MacBook Air isn't perfect. It's pricy, although cheaper variants with smaller SSDs are available, and it should really come with 4GB of RAM as standard at such a high price. Despite these flaws it's the best ultra-portable laptop we've...

Apple's newest MacBook Air got a nip and tuck, a small tweak to bring it in line with the look of the current MacBook Pro. Nothing rams this point home more than the hardware inside, the fact that it's still running a Core 2 Duo being chief suspec...
Apple's latest MacBook Air adds some much needed ports and pulls some things in line with the MacBook Pro range. It's an excellent travel laptop, but we wish it would have made the transition to Intel's Core i series.

It seemed like a dare, that first MacBook Air. A challenge among Apple's engineers over how thin they could make a notebook computer while still keeping it useful. To see how many components and features could be removed while leavingbehind a computer...

When Apple introduced the MacBook Air in January 2008, one of the biggest price hikes in its build to order options was the choice of a 64GB SSD. Those with slightly shallower pockets for this slimline ultraportable wouldn’t hesitate to opt for the 80G...
Overall, given its diminutive yet robust form factor, the MacBook Air’s performance is quite remarkable. If you’re a film critic, spending hours in the dark, then you may well bemoan the loss of the illuminated keyboard. Yet those with a busy a life o...

It's strange how Apple of late seems to be using early adopters as prototype testers. The original iPhone launched sans many of the features we now take for granted (3G, the incredible App Store) , the iPad has sold by the boat load, but in spite of its f...
Apple's MacBook Air used to be a divisive system, but the new one is much less so. Its performance, battery life, screen res and, of course, gorgeous design mean that while expensive, the 13in MacBook Air offers reasonable value for money. And face it, ev...

This new MacBook Air review was not easy for us. Don’t get us wrong, Apple’s waif-like laptop is unquestionably gorgeous. It’s thinner than anything else in our manbag, and Apple’s new battery technology gives it a lifetime between charges to shame...

The new 13-inch Apple MacBook Air isn't a radical departure from the previous-generation Apple MacBook Air, which was itself a surprisingly thin and light laptop compared to Apple's other MacBook and MacBook Pro models. The 13.3-inch model is basical...
While the 11-inch model will be most attractive if you're looking for the smallest and lightest Mac laptop, those who want to upgrade its drive, processor, and RAM will want to consider its small size versus the slightly larger 13-inch model, which co...

Tweet It's beautiful, it's stunning, it's thin, it's like a supermodel. That is probably the best way to describe the MacBook Air to anyone asking. But should you be buying the thinnest MacBook on the planet? We've been living with the new model to fi...
