Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (mid 2011)

 

Speedy, sexy, slim and swanky. Is there a more desirable laptop at the moment?

Super slim and sexy, Incredible build quality, Surprisingly speedy, ThunderBolt port has many possibilities

It's pricey, Limited connectivity out the box, No SD card reader

Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (2011)

 

You don't have to love Apple, or even like it, to have a deep appreciation for the new generation of MacBook Air. The two models, of 13- and 11-inches, are the most visually impressive and delightful laptops on the market. The Air was derided when it...

Beautiful, sturdy, powerful, light, great battery

11-inch is a little too small, no SD card slot, limited ports, gestures can be irksome, OS X isn't as perfect as Apple thinks

The Air was derided when it was first launched, and to some extent, rightly so. It was too slow and an example of form over function. With the 2011 refresh, Apple has managed to keep the remarkable form, but also add some internals that make this more...

Apple MacBook Air 11in (Mid-2011) 64GB review

 

The Apple MacBook Air 11in is now the entry-level Mac portable, with this 64GB SSD model costing £849.

The 11in MacBook Air is exactly the same price as Asus' 11in contender, although with only half the RAM and SSD space. But what it lacks in these respects it makes up for in build quality – especially when it comes to the screen – and for giving you...

For the first time, Apple's entry-level notebook might just be one of its most compelling offerings.

Review: MacBook Air 11in Ultimate MD214

 

Apple's latest MacBook Air now comes with the Mac OS X Lion operating system (OS), faster processors and a 10Gbit/s Thunderbolt connection for the first time. The MacBook Air is still available in the 13in screen version it originally launched with in...

Apple MacBook Air 11in Core i5 notebook

 

Review For years this particular Mac user preferred to carry around an X-Series ThinkPad, despite having a house full of Apple laptops. That's because Apple could offer nothing with comparable size and weight. It was worth putting up with Windows or...

When's all said and done, to my surprise – my expectations being set by years of Mean Santa withholding features – it's an absolutely outstanding piece of kit. Design and execution are so professional that it's the sort of review where you start with...

Apple Macbook Air 11in review

 

Power to match portability

Beautifully crafted, Intel Core i7 processor for fast performance, excellent multi-touch functionality, unmatched portability, great keyboard and screen

Just two USB ports

There is not really much to separate the two devices in terms of specifications. The extra screen size does add around 300g, bringing the total weight of the 13in to 1.3kg. You will feel this when carrying the device and any accessories around for a...

Apple MacBook Air 11in review

 

Apple launched the first MacBook Air back in 2008 and although it turned heads with it's ground-breaking chassis and the wallet-busting price, the performance wasn't the best. Fast forward to 2011 and the Air range has grown in popularity and Apple has...

Stunning form factor, unmatched portability, great keyboard, OS X Lion

Pricey high-end configuration, no SD slot in 11in model

The most portable laptop on the planet now comes with the specifications to match the stunning design. The MacBook Air is likely to tempt even the most loyal Windows user, although price is still a barrier
