Internal changes have helped Apple’s new 1.6GHz MacBook Air gain a lot of ground in terms of performance. Externally, this 1.6GHz MacBook Air is almost identical to the first-generation 1.6GHz MacBook Air. It has the same glossy 13.3in screen as the pr...

The MacBook Air is a quintessential Apple product, one that demonstrates both the company’s strengths and weaknesses. When it was launched at the beginning of 2008, the Air was admired – nay, drooled over – because of its elegant, ultra-portable design...
We still have reservations about the MacBook Air. The improved graphics performance does make it feel a lot smoother and more responsive than before. However, it’s still very expensive, and design decisions such as the non-replaceable battery just s...

Thin as ever, the latest Apple MacBook Air offers up to twice the storage and snappy performance. I really like Apples newly revamped MacBook Air, which got extensive under-the-hood updates last month. And I really, really like the apparent speed b...
If the first MacBook Air was a revolutionary take on the Apple laptop line, this is an evolutionary step - which is exactly what youd expect from a second-generation release. Aesthetically, the two generations are virtually the same; technologically...

When Steve Jobs first pulled the Apple MacBook Air out of a manila envelope, the laptop Apple touted as the worlds thinnest instantly turned media pundits into starry-eyed zealots. At that point, no one knew what features it had, what parts it ran...
Still the thinnest and best-looking ultraportable. Bright screen. Comfortable keyboard. Best graphics performance in its class. Extremely lightweight.
Depleted feature set. Downgraded to a low-voltage processor. Only 2GB of memory with this configuration. Lacks higher-resolution screen options. Slow spinning hard drive. Battery life hasnt improved.
The Apple MacBook Air (Nvidia 9400M GT) is a specimen of unsurpassable beauty, but upgrades of a few parts internally wont be enough to win over converts to Mac...

Apple takes the Sub Notebook category to a whole new level with the Apple MacBook Air MB543LL/A. Weighing only 3 pounds, the Air was built not for the mass public, but instead with certain people in mind. With a 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2 gi...
I really wonder when they sat down and started designing this laptop what the thought process was. Even in the Sub Notebook category, most laptops have more inputs and at the minimum a DVD burner. Now, I could say that they were trying to keep costs do...

The question is this: Is it worth spending between $1,799 and $2,499 for a MacBook Air, as opposed to between $1,299 and $1,599 for a MacBook? In addition to the $500-$900 price difference, you’ll give away an extra USB port, an optical drive, some...

Our initial review of the MacBook Air was based on its stock £1,199 configuration, which features a 1.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 80GB of storage provided by a 1.8in traditional hard drive.Since then, we've obtained two 1.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo...
The public reaction to the MacBook Air has been fascinating. Our original conclusion could probably be boiled down to “it's good for people it's good for, and not for people it's not” – this appeared to be a Rorschach test for readers, since we've rec...
