MacBook Air 13 inch 2014 Review | Trusted Reviews

Is the 2014 MacBook Air still the ultraportable laptop you should buy?

12+ hours of battery life ; Timeless design ; Great touchpad ; Cool, quiet and fast

Screen is very average

MacBook Air 13 inch 2014

Still a great buy in spite of its average screen

12+ hours of battery life ; Timeless design ; Great touchpad ; Cool, quiet and fast

Screen is very average

And, as ever, the speakers on the MacBook Air always sound a little better than you initially expect. As with any laptop this size they lack a little bass and are at their best when you're actually sat at your screen (go to other side of the room and...

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch 2013

Apple sets the standard once again

Outstanding battery life ; Sublime design and build quality ; Cool and quiet ; Future proof 802.11ac Wi-Fi

Screen res a little disappointing ; Limited physical connectivity

13-inch available at the same price with 1080p screens, the MacBook has fallen behind in this area. Not dramatically so, but enough for us to take note.

13-inch MacBook Air review

Does the 2013 version of Air finally put all-day battery life within our grasp?

Fantastic battery life ; Haswell processors ; Improved graphics ; Wi-Fi ac

No Retina screen ; Not user upgradeable ; Processors slower than 2012 ; Limited expansion options

While it has yet to make the leap into Retina, this is still the laptop that the ultrabook aspires to, thanks to incredible battery life and AC Wi-Fi. The new 2013 13-inch MacBook Air makes some significant improvements on the 2012 model, but the...

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (2013) review

With palms resting on the slick and familiar deck of the 2013 MacBook Air , it's with some trepidation that we look to review Apple's latest version of its iconic notebook computer. New internal hardware helps the MacBook Air maintain its position as...

Battery life, faster, cheaper than last year

No bump to screen resolution, connectivity isn't the best out there

New internal hardware helps the MacBook Air maintain its position as one of our favourite notebooks. We're still happy with the 2012 MacBook Air, but there's enough here to make us want to upgrade: the improved performance and particularly that battery...

Apple MacBook Air 13in (2014) review

Our favourite laptop of all time receives quite possibly the smallest upgrade of all time - and it's still brilliant

Even better battery life ; Slightly faster processor ; Still entirely beautiful to look at and use

Not a Retina display ; Not a games machine

Apple barely changes a thing but the MacBook Air remains the best laptop available

Apple MacBook Air 13in (2013) review

It might not have a Retina screen, but that doesn't stop the new MacBook Air being the greatest laptop ever made

Great all-day battery life ; Haswell innards and upgrades to RAM and SSD ; 802.11ac networking

Missing a Retina display ; Not our first choice for gaming ; More expensive than Windows 8 rivals

The best just got better: improved components result in improved performance, and although the design is ageing it’s still a winner

Apple MacBook Air 13in (Mid-2013) review

Apple has hit two notable ‘firsts' with this, the 2013 incarnation of the iconoclastic MacBook Air. It packs several game-changing revisions. Not only is it the first mainstream laptop you can buy with an Intel Haswell processor, it's also the first...

The Apple MacBook Air (Mid-2013) really does provide all-day battery life. For that alone, it fully deserves to be top of the list for anyone looking for a workaday laptop, one that can reduce one of modern life’s stresses: that of wondering whether...
