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
Expert review by : Andy Vandervell (trustedreviews.com)
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 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.

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...

The new MacBook Air 13in is cheaper than last year's, with improved battery life
Lightweight with slick looks ; Super-speedy wake-up ; Amazing battery life
No Retina display ; Ethernet accessory is extra ; Not cheap

Is the MacBook Air still the best laptop around?
Cheaper ; Slightly more powerful ; Same winning design
Not a Retina display ; No CD drive ; No Ethernet port
Expert review by : Chris Hall (pocket-lint.com)
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...
Expert review by (stuff.tv)
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
Expert review by (stuff.tv)
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
Expert review by : Andrew Harrison (techadvisor.co.uk)
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...
