Despite introducing a new MacBook Air in October 2018, Apple is still selling the old version which, while tweaked back in 2017 is essentially a three-year-old machine. Priced at £949/$999 and with an 1.8GHz processor, it might look like a good deal in co...

There is a new MacBook Air on the scene but Apple is still selling the old 13-inch MacBook Air. With prices starting at £949/$999 it might look like a good deal, it is after all the cheapest Mac laptop you can buy, but we would dissuade you from doing so...

The first MacBook Air was released a decade ago and it's fair to say it hasn't changed a lot of over the years, particularly its styling. However, starting at $1,499, it's the cheapest in Apple's MacBook range and it still looks pretty sleek, making it on...

There's a sense of deja vu as you approach Apple's 2017 MacBook.It still sports a super-skinny wedge design that suggests Apple won't be satisfied until its laptops are thin enough to be used as weapons by ninja.It's still ridiculously light: 920g – or ro...

This isn't a perfect notebook, then, nor probably even a perfect MacBook. But this laptop is nonetheless ridiculously lovely to use. Yes, I'd like a webcam beyond 480p, and for the keyboard to be a bit quieter, but the unit feels solid, the screen is grea...

IDGOur Surface Laptop review looks at Microsoft's new notebook in two ways: as a stylish ultrabook, designed and priced to compete with Apple's MacBook Air for college students' favor. But it's also a machine purpose-built for Windows 10 S, which restrict...

The MacBook Air's stellar battery life remains best-in-class for a 13-inch laptop, and its keyboard is the best in the business. The addition of Thunderbolt 2 will go a long way if you own compatible peripherals. Its storage speeds hold up to Apple's “twi...

New machine, same chassis. Apple's reluctance to give the MacBook Air a Retina display is wearing thin, and it's causing buyers to look at alternatives – even defecting to Windows in some cases. Its lack of personality is compounded by poor speakers, an u...

Much faster storage and a better performing processor/graphics combo make this year's 13-inch MacBook Air a technically better machine than its predecessor, but unless you really need those gains it's not worth the upgrade. That's particularly so in the a...
