Review of MacBook Air 11.6inch

Overview :
The 11.6inch Macbook Air is a beautiful, solid and eye-catching laptop which feels premium all over. These review will be more useful for customers which are going to buy MacBook Air 11.6inch in apple store.It delivers much higher performance than the typical netbooks, and thanks to its SSD storage this mini laptop never keeps you waiting. Keyboard and touchpad are extremely well-designed, just like every other Apple laptops out there. The only thing that will hold most people back is the high price of this mini laptop ($999 for 64GB version and $1199 for the 128GB version ).
Design:

The 11.6-inch Macbook Air is incredibly thin and light. It measures 11.8 x 7.56 x 0.68 inches at its thickest point, and weight just 2.3 pounds. The full unibody aluminum chassis is solid, beautifully designed, and feels premium all over. Despite the super slim design, the manufacturer still manages to include two USB ports (one on each side), a headphone jack on the left, and a mini DisplayPort on the right. The only thing missing is the SD Card slot, which can be found on most 10-inch netbooks.

Keyboard and Touchpad:

Both the full-size keyboard and extra-large glass touchpad on the Macbook Air 11 are excellent. The chiclet-style keyboard provides crisp feedback, and multitouch gestures perform extremely well on the touchpad. If we were to find something to complain about them, it will be the lack of backlit for the keyboard, which is available on the Macbook Pro.

Performance:

The 11-inch Macbook Air runs on the 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 processor, which is a previous-generation Intel technology. In the GeekBench test, the Air scored 2,159, which is lower than some cheaper ultraportable laptops that run on Intel’s latest Core processors. For example, the $899 version of the Acer Aspire Timeline 1830T that runs on Intel Core i7 CPU scores a whopping 3,742 in GeekBench. Having said that, the 11-inch MacBook Air still feels very fast, especially when it comes to booting up (15 seconds) and waking up from sleep mode (instantaneous), thanks to the SSD storage which is significantly faster than the hard-disk.


Battery Life

Laptop Magazine gets 5 hours and 18 minutes of battery life in their battery test which involve continuous web surfing over Wi-Fi at 40 percent screen brightness; PC Mag gets 3 hours 44 minutes from their continuous MP4 video playback test; and CNet Australia gets 4 hours 23 minutes from their video playback battery drain test. Based on the test results above, it’s save to say that you will get at least 4.5 hours of battery life under normal usage.
