The MacBook Air 11in (mid-2012) is a great laptop for writers. It's speedy enough for day to day use, very light – even if you cart along the AC adapter – and highly portable in general. The downside is that today’s ultrabooks have caught up in terms o...

The 2012 version of the MacBook Air 11" has added processor power and battery life to the 2011 stock and is just as excellent of a deal in terms of size, capability and make. On the downside, it's still lacking in all the same areas: skimpy connectivit...

Of course small laptops had been around for some time, but it was Apple that popularised the format with the MacBook Air. It's been the blueprint that has inspired the Intel-led Ultrabooks from various manufacturers since last year. Apple recently intro...

The 11-inch MacBook Air is small and compact, and a very low weight of 1.08 kg. The performance is very good thanks to the third generation Intel Core i5 processor, and it has fast connectivity with the USB 3.0 ports and the Thunderbolt connector. The l...

Back in 2008, Apple made laptops cool again by unleashing the super-skinny MacBook Air . The slimline beauty was made even thinner in 2010, and the 2012 version – which is on review here – is the latest iteration of that design. Packing the latest Intel...

The 11in MacBook Air took top spot in El Reg's recent round-up of the best Ultrabooks – even though, strictly speaking, it isn’t actually an Ultrabook, according to Intel’s proprietary definition of the term. This 2012 model doesn’t tamper with the win...

This year’s MacBook Air hasn’t been reinvented in the same way as the MacBook Pro has. It’s essentially a housekeeping update that introduces Intel's Ivy Bridge platform and at long last brings in USB 3. Existing owners won’t need to rush out and upg...

Like last year's update, the 2012 MacBook Air is entirely in the guts. The 2011 bump into present-day usability was enough to make it one of our best gadgets of the year. This year's update is more of the same, which is actually a good thing.A super-thin...

Yes. The price range on the MacBook Air starts at $1099 and runs up to $2499 with all the optional hardware upgrades. Our review unit was $1799 as configured, which is in line with the best ultrabooks. Other laptop manufacturers have built on the gains th...

About a year ago, when we looked at Apple's 2011-model 11.6-inch MacBook Air, it didn't have much in the way of Windows-based competition, unless you counted pricier ultra-premium machines like Samsung's Series 9 or less spendy but much less powerful netb...

Things are getting very blurry.The MacBook Pro once stood for tons of power plus upgradability. Add a Retina Display and now it's just tons of power. It's a thicker, faster MacBook Air (with an awesome display). It's not bad, in fact it's quite amazing, b...

Battery life has also improved thanks to Intel's 22nm silicon. You'll get between 3 - 7 hours on the 13-inch MBA, and between 1.85 - 5 on the 11-inch model. It's not all about Intel in the 2012 Airs however. The improvement in storage performance is even...
