While a new processor gives you a little extra performance and some tests, the real additions are things like the new (for Mac) USB 3.0 ports and free upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.Laptop Magazine90Apple MacBook Air (13-inch, 2012) ReviewApple makes the quintessential ultraportable notebook even better by giving the MacBook Air faster performance and longer battery life.CNET AU80Apple MacBook Air 13 (mid-2012)The new 13-inch MacBook Air might not be the huge revision we were hoping for, but it's still an excellent laptop, borne out of years of refinement.Pocket-Lint90Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (mid-2012) review... the Air remains an object of desire, a powerful laptop and a computer that you just want to use constantly. It certainly is the best MacBook Air, and it really has to be a contender for the best laptop of the year too.SlashGear90MacBook Air 13-inch Review (mid-2012)With the PC industry throwing every ultrabook it can come up with at the market in the hope of scoring a win, Apple has done exactly what it needs to with the MacBook Air. Faster, more flexible and cheaper, it presents the strongest challenge from an Air model to-date.CNET UK80Apple MacBook Air 13-inch reviewThe new 13-inch Apple MacBook Air is as thin and stunningly designed as ever, but it's now packing the latest Intel Ivy Bridge processor, making it more formidable for graphics tasks and bringing those all-important high-speed USB 3.0 ports. It's still going to cost you a pretty penny though.Computer Shopper80Apple MacBook Air (13.3-Inch, 2012 Version) ReviewWith an Intel Ivy Bridge CPU and speedy USB 3.0 ports, Apple’s latest Air is still a strong candidate for best ultraportable available. But with the same chassis and screen resolution as last year’s models, it’s not the class-leader-by-a-mile that the previous version was.TrustedReviews80Apple MacBook Air 13-inch 2012 reviewWith a starting price of £999, the new 2012 Macbook Air 13in is solidly positioned at the premium end of the market, but is better value than ever before thanks to its upgraded bits.

One example is where sub application windows vanish, don't appear in expose & can only be found from the "window" menu of the app in question. Decision to exclude integrated HDMI output is still baffling, understand it would add a little bit of bulk, but then they could fit a GB interface.Engadget Reader90April 29, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.

We highly recommend it. - EngadgetEngadget Reader90February 4, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!First Mac ever. Using IOS device since 4 years. 32 years old. Microsoft software developer (C#).I originally purchased a retina Macbook Pro 15" but returned it because of the image retention problems everyone was facing. Decided to get a Macbook Air 13. Took me 2 week to get used back to a non-retina screen. But after 3 months, I truly feel this Macbook Book Air 13" is an awesome computer. The macbook retina screen may worth the extra money, but not the image retention problem associated with it. For me, saving more than 1000$ for a stable product (Macbook Air) was a better choice. I was mainly fearing the non retina and smaller 13.3 inch screen. But I got used to the lesser screen (comparer to retina 15" rMBP) and now really enjoy the product.For me OSX is new experience and I have no regret getting a jump in it with the Macbook air 13". It still amaze me, how responsive and fun the macbook air is. I use it mainly at home and for university. I never felt the CPU was slow. It really feel snappy mainly thanks to the SSD. I do strongly recommend an upgrade to 8 Gig of ram. I noticed way too often 4 gig of memory usage only doing Xcode and Safari browsing. This mean next OSX upgrade will more than likely need more RAM. Don't even hesitate, get 8 Gig and the Macbook Air will be a satisfying computer for the next couple of years and will have a much better resale value if needed.I am impress and satisfied. Runner up was Lenovo Yoga and 3rd Lenovo X1. At that point operating system will make the difference. For me I was curious about OSX and running Windows in a VM was a good trade out. Now enjoying both OSX and Windows.Engadget Reader70January 22, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A dependable product that doesn't really stand out from the competition. - EngadgetEngadget Reader100January 17, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I bought this laptop around 6 months ago to bring to take to lectures and do work in the library. When I first started shopping for a laptop I knew exactly what I needed just not what laptop would fit my needs; great battery life, backlit keyboard, usb 3.0, great graphics, weight was important but not vital, an HD display, NO DVD drive (I cant stomach them, so much wasted space). At first I was looking at the retina MacBook Pro but as this was only an out-and-about laptop, I found I couldn't justify the cost. The MacBook Air became the obvious choice. It was inexpensive (after seriously considering the rMBP), and it fit all my criteria except the HD display, but the pixel density is the sam as a 15" 1080p. After using this laptop for two months now I am convinced that this laptop was the right choice. I cant imagine being happier with any other laptop.Hardware:Thin and light - very solid build with no flex if you hold it from the corner (which is possible because of its light weight)Battery life - Around 4-5 hours right now on mountain lion (watching TV shows, youtube, general internet things, mail, word processing). But when I first got it it was getting 7+ on lion. Hopefully and update in the future will fix/improve this.Charger - Power Brick - AC Adapter - Its extremely small, easy to fit in a bag, the cable wrapping clips are very useful but make sure to leave a good loop at the top so it does not fray (the loop is good to cary it by as well). The battery charges to 0- 50% in 45 minuets and then 50 - 90% in 1 hour after that (while i'm still using it ).Performance - no complaints here, I haven't noticed any lag whatsoever (opening applications is snappy and moving in-between is smooth).Graphics - Intel 4000 - These graphics built in and the performance is astounding can run all modern games on low which is more than I expected from an air. (but expect to hear from the fans I don't care if they're "asymmetrical" they're loud)Display - The screen is very bright at full and generally I leave it at 2/3 when plugged in. Then screen doesn't show as much glare as usual glare-screens do. I expected edge-to-edge glass! This killed me, I wanted the piece of mind of not having little bits of dust and hair going in between the lip and screen and travelling in (and not to mention it makes it harder to clean). Getting used to the size took some time but once using apps in full screen and switching panes with a swipe of the fingers alleviated these complaints.Keyboard - it takes a little to adjust too, at first the short travel distance is bearable and after awhile goes unnoticed.Webcam - Its just bad, but so are all integrated webcams. I know that some are better than others but when it comes down to it its bad and worse, spending 40$ on a external webcam can land you something a worlds better.Speakers - The speakers are very loud but with almost no bass but that was expected for a laptop this size. Good for when your walking around a room but once you sit down its best to put in some headphones. All-in-all they were more than expected.IO Ports - 2 USB 3.0 and a Thunderbolt. Both were a huge plus since I bought this laptop expecting neither.Mac OSX: Mountain Lion (Some thoughts)Hotkeys - Learning the shortcuts for most applications took me a few weeks. Not because this was difficult (actually it is quite easy, just open an applications context menus and you see a list of commands with their corresponding hot-keys), but because their are so many. But in my opinion when it comes to hotkeys you can never have to many.Gestures - Learning these was quite easy by searching "Trackpad" in the settings and just going through the demos. Learning them made switching between panes much quicker & convenient.Included apps (Pros) - All that you would expect to be included with a laptop; Mail, Safari, Reminders, Notepad, iPhoto, Preview, all are good enough that they do not warrant you to go looking for replacements, and even if you did the tight integration into OSX, and the fact that they make use of cloud sync would make finding a viable replacement for any quite difficult.Included apps (Cons) - Quicktime's lack of video format was disappointing I didn't want to have to use VLC.Now all thats left is leaning to plug in headphones the first time without missing.Engadget Reader90January 14, 2013Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.

I got the 11.6" fully loaded 2010 MBA back on Christmas, 2010, and loved almost everything about it but wished the screen was bigger. I needed absolute portability in my computing device of choice, so the 2010 MBA 11.6 was nearly ideal, save for the lacklustre Core Duo chip inside and the max 4gb ram. Worked fine with 10.5 and even 10.6 OSX, but 10.8 showed it wanting.Now in 2012, my mobile platform of choice is a Nexus 7 with an Apple wireless keyboard for fast typing and the arguments for keeping the MBA 11.6" were waning. That plus I was straining my eyes too much with it. So when I found Apple selling their refurb i7 2.0ghz, 8gb, 256gb SSD Macbook Air mid 2012 model on the Apple store for about $250 less than normal list price, I dived in and bought it. I love almost everything about this device, with two exceptions. The keyboard is nicely lit up (my first), but there's sacrifice in the keyboard's feel. On both an Apple wireless keyboard and my 2010 MBA 11.6", the keyboard's action was exceptional for a chicklet style keyboard - it was solid, I liked the travel and resistance. Well, after typing on this new 13" for nearly a month, I have to say I rate it 3/5 if the other keyboards were 5/5. Just seems more plasticky and flimsy and "soft". I'm probably complaining too much, but I type about 90 wpm, and these things are noticeable to me.Second beef, which prevented me from buying a Macbook Pro Retina, but wasn't as much of a concern with the MBA is how everything is sealed and non-replaceable. I can accept that on an ultralight I can't replace the battery or the memory or the hard drive (SSD), but on a normal light notebook, those are unacceptable options for me. Other than these two beefs, everything is roses with this computer. The display is great, and while not Retina, is fine for me. The weight is awesome, the build overall fantastic, and while very expensive in today's sense compared to other tech out there, getting it $250 off list helped a bit and tipped my "buying" scale to buy it.Engadget Reader90December 20, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I don't often need a laptop as my iPad is my primary mobile device, but sometimes I do. I want it to be super-light and not take up a lot of space. My needs are fairly typical business needs plus technical networking and server work. This machine covers both of those really well. It is light, quiet, and small, but with excellent battery life. I'm starting to get in the habit of not taking the charger with me because most of the time I don't need it.Engadget Reader90December 2, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.

It isn't bad, exactly, but also doesn't do anything particularly well. - EngadgetEngadget Reader90October 15, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I bought my 13" MacBook Air when my 2008 MacBook Pro 15" died this summer. I ordered it with the i7 processor and 8GB's of memory. It has the 256GB SSD drive. This is an amazing little laptop. It is so lightweight and portable. The only downside is the display doesn't look quite as crisp as the MacBook Pro 15" that my work just bought. And no, its not the Retina-Display. I highly recommend the Air.Engadget Reader90October 9, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!This macbook air is amazing. Finally its powerfully enough to multitask effortlessly. I usually have adobe photoshop & illustrator open, with mail, pages, and a browser with 15+ tabs and this macbook air doesn't miss a beat. I do not miss my 15in Macbook Pro! Battery life is good, I can get about 5-6 hours.Engadget Reader90September 29, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Speedwise: If you are basic user who are planning to use it for web surfing or something you will love this. It's really speedy!Noisewise: I could not hear the noise that used to make in 2010-mid MacBook Pro when I try to connect to Flash-heavy website. But of course you can hear fan noises when you play game but not that noisy as MacBook Pro!It's just perfect for college student!By the way it has mag-safe 2 connector. You will need to buy separate connector to use it with previous mac-safe 1 connector.Accessory list;Best Skins Ever shield installed (Love it, if you care about scratch buy it!)Rearth keyboard skin (compare to other keyboard skin it's designed really well) I got i5/128GB/8GB one for $1231 with no tax in WA!Macmall.com with Macinsider 3% off code.(http://appleinsider.com/mac_price_guide)hopefully It will save you some bucks.Let me know if you have any question about this machine!Engadget Reader90September 28, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.

Too bad it has HD4000 graphics but only 1 thunderbolt port. The only way to have 2 external monitors is using the expensive apple displays. Should work on that apple!Engadget Reader90August 4, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!This is the laptop that everyone should get. I've only had mine for a short time, but now I think there's nothing else that I would recommend. I know some ultrabooks are cheaper or have more ports or more storage, but I am so blown away by this machine that I have no desire to use another laptop again.In addition to the notes I wrote above, I just want to mention that the speakers are incredible - much better sound quality than the speakers on my 2-year old Vaio Y (which I used to think was thin, but now!).I am new to OSX, but I am happy with most of what OSX offers so far. WIth 8GB of RAM, it also runs both a WIndows 7 virtual machine very well and Ubuntu 12.04 machine pretty well in ParallelsEngadget Reader90July 25, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Contrary to my expectation the Macbook Air is doing really good as a dev machine too. It's however worth noting that 4GB of RAM is too less in today's scenario. The OS (without any app running) takes closer to a GB. And firefox (sucker) takes 1+ GB of RAM with just a few tabs open. Had to switch to Chrome. But in general, 4GB is so out of date in today's hardware scenario. Customizing and upgrading to 8GB is not really easy (only available via apple online store and takes time to ship).Engadget Reader90July 23, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I upgraded from a 2010 HP Envy 14 to the 13" MacBook Pro about 3 weeks ago. I tinker at a basic level, so I opted to purchase a SATA III SSD and 2x4GB 1600MHz RAM on my own and installed it. So, I had an upgraded MBP 13" I was very proud of.Over the next week, I came to realize I should probably return the SSD, RAM, and MBP for a BTO MacBook Air with 8 GB of RAM. This was based on the following:1) Lighter Weight: I carry my laptop everywhere I go, often making 3 or more trips with the laptop in my bag. The extra 1.5 lb. from the MacBook Pro makes a difference to me, and I'm not a small guy at all.2) Better resolution: The MBP 13" resolution maxes out at 1280x800. The 1440x900 on the MBA is more functional and allows better detail useful for work. Buyers should be aware that the MacBook Pro 13" has a better color gamut though - intensive Photoshop work requiring color accuracy might be better on the MBP.3) Sufficient RAM: Running a memory clearing app (Clear Memory) showed me that I hover right at 4GB of RAM usage in my daily tasks, mostly involving Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook on Windows Office 2011 for Mac on top of 5-15 open Chrome browser tabs. Getting 8GB of RAM would put me in the clear, meaning I would never need or use the maximum of 16GB allowed by the MacBook Pro.4) Comparable performance: The lower clockspeed and voltage of the i5 on the MBA had me concerned at first, but most benchmarks show the MBP i5 outperforming the MBA's i5 by only about 5-10%. Since I did nothing that required that additional speed and the MBP i5 seemed plenty zippy to me, I decided that the MBA's i5 wouldn't be a noticeable downgrade in performance.5) Sufficient disk space: 128GB is plenty for me. I access most of my work files from a shared server and store videos/photos/music on an external HDD to save space anyway.Basically, I came to the conclusion that buying the MacBook Air upgraded to 8GB for $100 was a better bang for the buck, with sufficient future proofing, when compared to buying a stock 13" MacBook Pro with user-upgraded SSD and RAM.I got my MacBook Air in the mail last week and returned my MacBook Pro. I haven't looked back - the performance feels identical to me, packed into a tighter and more portable shell.Engadget Reader90July 22, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I'm extremely happy with this unit. Almost all my gripes are to do with OS X Lion and not the unit itself. Being able to have something so thin and light as my all-day every-day computer and still being able to drive two 27" displays is amazing. As a designer and developer I use a lot of Adobe Creative Suite apps and a Windows 7 Virtual Machine fairly regularly. The 8 GB of RAM was a fairly important upgrade for me, but the processor (which I thought would be a really significant bottleneck) never really causes me any grief at all.My old unibody 17" MacBook Pro was a beast of a machine but the weight difference is ridiculous for a negligible performance degradation.Highly recommended.Engadget Reader90July 21, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The best in its category.
