That Thunderbolt cable is enough to power the FaceTime HD camera, FireWire 800, Gigabit Ethernet and a further three USB 2 sockets in the Display, all via a single cable. If you can stretch the budget a further £849 you'll not only get a 27-inch LED-backlit screen, but the mother all of docking stations too. Where Thunderbolt will also come into its own when used in connection with the new Apple Thunderbolt Display. However have seen them demoed at various Apple events - they are as fast as all involved claim. Sadly Thunderbolt drives aren't out on the market yet so we've been unable to test the new MacBook Air at home with any to see if they work. Thunderbolt is Apple's new port that allows you to write to Thunderbolt hard drives considerably faster than you would with a standard USB 2 or USB 3 connection. Positioned in the same place as the 2010 model, the sound comes out the back just beyond the keyboard and bounces off the screen back at you.

They are good enough to listen to music while you work, or provide the soundtrack to that movie you're watching in bed, but it's not going to beat a pair of cheap desktop speakers or be enough to provide the soundtrack to a party in your hotel room. We for one will be going out to buy one once our review model goes back, and you can't get better praise than that.Īs you might expect the speakers are rather lacklustre in their performance, but not excessively so.
If you're in the market for a new Mac this is certainly worth the upgrade.

It perhaps cements the larger MacBook Pros as a laptop designed for the "professional" market who need the horsepower to do video processing and the like, although if costs are a limitation, then you can still get the powerful MacBook Pro 13-inch for less than this model of MacBook Air.

The days of having to be penalised for wanting something ultra portable are over.įor many the new MacBook Air is going to be a winning option making this the MacBook to have, costs not withstanding. It also featured on board soldered RAM and a Dual-Core 1.4 or 1.6GHz Core i5 CPU and standard 2GB of memory (with CTO option of 4GB). It was one of the first notebooks to not have a CD-Rom drive and standard SATA harddrive. Yes you will lose the DVD drive, Ethernet, and FireWire connectivity, and have to settle for a non HD webcam (the horror), but rather than the Pro being the only option for those that want speed, the MacBook Air is now a laptop that gives you speed, style, and slinkiness in one package.

The update of the MacBook Air-series, however, was a pretty quiet process.

It is just a hardware upgrade that is limited to the processor and the internal graphics solution. We want to use this review to analyze the performance differences and see whether there are consequences for the emissions and the battery runtimes.
First of all we start with the noticeable price increase in the Eurozone. Our current review unit represents the base configuration. The price was, however, reduced from $1,000 to $900 in the United States. The hardware upgrades are more expensive as well. Our base model is equipped with 4 GB memory, a new Intel Core i5-5250U with the integrated Intel HD Graphics 6000 as well as 128 GB flash storage. Our review update mainly covers the differences to the previously reviewed MacBook Air 2013, which was tested with the minimum specifications ( Intel Core i5-4250U, 4 GB memory and 128 GB SSD) two years ago.Ĭhoosing a sophisticated 11-inch notebook is becoming more and more difficult. 661-6479 Apple Solid State Drive Card, 64GB, TS for MacBook Air 13' Mid 2011, A1369 and MacBook Air 11' Mid 2011, A1370.

Lenovo, for example, offers such a convertible for around 1,370 Euros (~$1543). The Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 convinced us with a good display and the good system performance in our review.Īpple uses this update to equip the device with chips based on the Broadwell architecture. Our configuration of the MacBook Air uses the Intel Core i5-5250U. This processor has two cores and can execute four threads.
