At £849, the Apple MacBook Air 11in (Mid 2013) is an attractive ultraportable. Still, for only £100 more, you can get the 13in MacBook Air with almost the same components, but with a larger screen and five more hours of battery life. We still recommend t...

You could call it the ancestor of the Ultrabook. When the Apple MacBook Air first came out, it was a very innovative product. It was small, light, constructed in aluminium and thanks to the built-in SSD the smallest MacBook also performed really well. S...
The design is the same, and the performance of the new Apple MacBook Air 11.6 inch isn't much better than that of its predecessor, except in one aspect. The battery life. It lasts 7.5 hours on a single charge as long as you don't make it work too hard...

At first glance, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the 2013 edition of Apple's 11-inch MacBook Air was identical to its 2012 predecessor. And from an industrial design standpoint, you'd be almost correct. Aside from an additional microphone embedded in...
Though there's not enough here to entice a 2012 MacBook Air owner to double-dip for this year's model, the 11-inch 2013 MacBook Air is clearly the superior model, and still more than a match for the best the ultrabook PC market has to offer. Popping in a...
