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

No Retina screen ; No significant upgrade to form factor ; Not user upgradeable ; Processors not as fast as last generation

The 2013 MacBook Air refresh is not a radical overhaul. The extra microphone aside, the chassis is identical to last year's MacBook Air, though there are significant improvements under the hood. Unfortunately, there are one or two drawbacks too. The...

Improved battery life ; Faster ; better Wi-Fi ; Drop in price

Lack of Retina screen ; No SDXC port

Build and overall design, plenty of power, battery life

Perhaps a little too small for those with larger hands

Overall, there's a lot to love about the 11-inch MacBook Air. Although this 2013 update doesn't bring a change in design or display, it does bring a substantial performance boost. This may be a small form notebook, but there's plenty of power to tackle...

So small and light it's barely there ; Reasonably priced ; Great performance ; Loads of free software

Great battery life, Thin, Lightweight, Comfortable multi-touch trackpad, Backlit keyboard

No SD card slot, No Ethernet port, No HDMI port

As fast as the 13-inch model; so light you will forget you are carrying it; longer battery life

Limited storage capacity; slower processor clock speed than previously; not enough RAM as standard

Apple hasn’t changed the exterior of the 11-inch MacBook Air, and that’s no bad thing because we love its lightweight, stylishly slim looks. The real story in the case of the 11-inch model is the speed improvements and coupled with the extended battery...

The 11-inch MacBook Air is a very good laptop. For the first time since the Air's launch, the baby of the range feels like it is powerful enough to be the only computer you need.

Lightweight, sleek design, nippy performance, long battery life, good value

No Retina display

The design and raw power make the Macbook Air a worthwhile purchase for Apple fans or those looking for a change from a Windows machine. The trackpad and Mac OS X make the Macbook Air a pleasure to use, and the good news for first-time Macbook Air...
