The last thing you’d want is to take that laptop out from your luggage only to find its battery hasn’t quite survived your daily life and workload.

What they do need to do, however, is be good in a pinch. Thin and light machines aren’t always the be-all end-all in regards to performance, and really they don’t need to be. The weight is also impressive, because while it isn’t quite industry leading on the same level as the 12 inch MacBook with its 920 gram weight, the 1.08kg weight of the MBA 11 isn’t too shabby either. That being said, the unibody aluminium piece makes it feel stronger than other plastic machines, and since the majority of laptops out there are made from plastic - particularly those under the 13 inch space - this is a big deal. It’s not that the body is fragile, but rather that it won’t be friendly to falls. Yes, this is the MacBook Air we’ve seen over the past few years, and while very little has changed, very little also needs to be touched, because this is probably one of Apple’s better concepts.Īs such, you’ll still find the sleek and slightly angular metal body provided to you, and just like we’ve seen in the 13 inch variant, it is just as lovely and sexy here, too.Īpple’s insistence on aluminium also means this body is very sturdy, with a design that feels strong enough to survive your backpack, even if we wouldn’t recommend dropping it.

If there’s one area Apple is pretty much known for, it’s in design, and here in the 11 inch Air, you’re getting crystal clear design. Stereo speakers can be found on the unit, as can a microphone and FaceTime HD camera sitting above the frame.Īnd all of this sits under an 11.6 inch display, coming with a native HD only resolution of 1366×768 that utilises one of the older panels from Apple, a screen type that has been around for few years now.

So it’s not that bad, and this “not that bad” situation is paired with 4GB RAM, either 128 or 256GB storage, and a relatively premium set of other specs, including 802.11ac WiFi (compatible with 802.11b/g/n), two USB 3.0 ports, one Thunderbolt 2 port, and support for Bluetooth 4.0.

We’re up to sixth-gen in the current Intel spectrum, but that only happened at the end of last year, meaning Apple’s current MacBook Air and Pro range are out of date, but not by as much as you think. The current model is not quite a year old, but still due for an update, and that’s because this edition relies on an Intel Core i5 dual-core processor from Intel’s fifth generation of processors, referred to by many as “Broadwell”. So what are you getting in the MacBook Air?

The next MacBook Air is likely just around the corner, but if you’re in the market for a new machine, particularly with a back-to-school season now in full swing, or even a “new work, new you” approach, there’s a good chance that 2015 MacBook Air is in your sights.
