When Apple launched the second generation MacBook Air in late 2010, I was definitely more interested in the 11” model. It was nearly as small as the iPad, but as a full notebook it was considerably more useful. At 2.3lbs, it wasn't even that much heavier...

I'm a huge fan of the 13-in. Retina MacBook Pro; I even highlighted it as a standout notebook for generous gift giver. But if you don't need the ports or the Retina display, this Air is fantastic. It offers the best balance of mobility and power, with battery life that can exceed...
