As well as the new 11.6" MacBook Air which we have already reviewed, G50 Battery Apple has also refreshed the 13-inch model of the thin and light subnotebook. Compared to its predecessor from over a year ago (with a design that is actually two years old) Apple has left only the processor untouched. The most important changes are the new and much faster chipset graphics card, the latest version of the unibody case, the glass trackpad, a fast SSD, and a high-resolution display. G60 Battery
With a weight of only 1.327 kg this 13-inch model most definitely belongs to the subnotebook class. Combined with its slim profile of 0.3 - 1.7 cm, the little Mac fits easily into almost every bag. But thanks to its full-size keyboard and relatively large screen it can still stand in for a larger notebook in many situations. G61 Battery
Compared to the 11-inch model, the 13-inch version has a more powerful CPU, a bigger battery and bigger screen. As there are many features that the two subnotebooks share, parts of this review are based on our review of the 11" MacBook Air.G70 Battery
Our test model from Apple Austria is the MC504LL/A which currently costs €1,599 and comes with the base model 1.86 GHz CPU, 2 GB of DDR3 memory (soldered) and the larger 256 GB SSD. For €90 you can upgrade to a 2.13 GHz Core 2 Duo or opt for 4 GB of DDR3 memory, also for €90. G71 Battery
Case
The MacBook Air’s new unibody case is quite similar to the smaller 11-inch version except of course the size. It is just as appealing thanks to its simple and timeless design and looks similarly well proportioned. Naturally, the main thing you notice about it is its thin appearance. As the notebook tapers towards the edges, from the side it looks even thinner than it is.G71t Battery
The 13-inch MacBook Air’s case is cut from a single block of aluminium,Pavilion dv4 Battery like the other aluminium MacBooks. As with the 11-inch model, the lid is now also made using this unibody process. It makes the case very robust despite its small size. However, the larger 13-inch case is a little less resistant to strong pressure than the 11-inch version (in the middle of the lid and base unit). Nevertheless, the case provides excellent protection for the notebook’s insides, particularly compared to other subnotebooks made of plastic.Pavilion dv4i Battery
Apple has used a single continuous hinge, Pavilion dv4t Battery as is usual for the current unibody Macs, instead of the two small hinges you see on the old MacBook Air. This will hopefully eliminate the problem of broken hinges that some of the old MacBook Air models suffered from. The maximum opening angle is still a little too small at 130 degrees. The 13-inch machine’s hinge was not as free-moving as the one on our 11-inch review model, which we noted positively. Pavilion dv4z Battery
As you would expect from Apple, the feel of the materials is outstanding. The Windows competition can unfortunately still not match it in this respect.
In theory the MacBook Air can simply be opened up by removing the screws on the underside and then taking off the whole of the base plate. Apple has made this exceedingly difficult, however, by using special five-point Torqx screws. Pavilion dv5 Battery
If you manage to fight your way into the back of the machine despite this, it’s still only possible to replace the mSATA SSD. The memory, CPU, and GPU are all soldered onto the motherboard directly and therefore not upgradable. You can find more information about the insides of the Mac and the special Torqx screws from our colleagues at iFixit, who have dissected the similar 11-inch MacBook Air.Pavilion dv5t Battery
Compared to the previous model, quite a lot has happened with the ports. They are no longer covered by a fiddly cover, and the amount has been extended significantly with the addition of a second USB and an SD card reader.Pavilion dv5t-1000 Battery
Other notebooks in this class normally offer at least a LAN port and possibly an additional USB. The 13-inch MacBook Air is also lacking a port for a docking station (as with all Apple Macs).
The ports are found on both sides towards the back of the machine, which is a good thing.Pavilion dv5z Battery
Left: MagSafe power connector, USB 2.0, headset audio port, integrated microphone
Right: SD card reader, USB 2.0, Mini DisplayPortThe webcam built into the lid, now called the FaceTime Camera, does not produce a particularly wonderful picture. But the quality is sufficient for video conversations and the integrated microphone worked very well when we tested it. This means you can use the MacBook Air for Skype or FaceTime without a headset if you want.Pavilion dv6 Battery
As with the 11-inch MB Air,Pavilion dv6t Battery wireless connections are handled by a Broadcom BCM943224 chip with two antennas which supports dual band 802.11n and Bluetooth 3.0 (but only BT 2.1 +EDR according to Apple). The chip supports WLAN data transfer rates up to 300 MB/s and proved to be reliable and to have a good range in our test of the 11-inch model (tested with a Trendnet TEW-633GR). There is no wired Ethernet connection, but an optional USB adaptor is available (100 MBit) which was already working well in our review of the first MacBook Air. Pavilion dv6t-1000 Battery
Apple offers a 12-month warranty as standard and 90 days of over-the-phone support for the MacBook Air. You also have the option of extending both of these to 3 years for a rather steep €249.
The integrated chiclet keyboard in the 13-inch MacBook Air is just like all other current Apple keyboards, with one small exception; the function key row has been shrunk a little (though not as much as on the 11" Air) and it now also houses the on/off button.Pavilion dv6t-1100 Battery
As with all the current MacBooks, the black keyboard has many excellent qualities. Despite the short stroke depth you can type on it easily without tiring. As the keys are screwed directly into the unibody case, there is no annoying flexing or clattering. It uses the usual Apple layout which will be a little unfamiliar to Windows users. Pavilion dv6z Battery
Sadly the new MacBook Airs have to do without the keyboard backlighting which was so useful on the old MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models. Pavilion HDX16t Battery
