Apple MacBook Air 11-inch 128GB Mid 2011
Apple's dinkiest and most desirable ultraportable is also its most affordable, but is it a false economy? Alan Lu finds out in our review.
Takes two steps forward, two steps back...
I've been a keen Apple user since 1994 now, and I don't consider myself to be a particularly technically minded person - in other words, I feel that I am the core audience (no pun intended) for the company.

- Flash memory helps machine wake instantly
- Bright display with wide viewing angles
- Thunderbolt support
- Below-average battery life

Apple MacBook Air 11in (mid-2012) review

- Speedy enough with an Ivy Bridge CPU
- Nicely bright screen
- Smart multi-touch trackpad
- Only middling battery life
- No SD card slot
- or HDMI/Ethernet
Apple MacBook Air 11" (2011)
A year after the Core 2 Duo MacBook Airs, Apple has now included the Core i5 in its 11.6-inch. Ultra-light, robust, sleek, with a wide touchpad and a backlit keyboard, this new model retains all the strengths...- Very slim and light
- Large multitouch touchpad
- Higher performance than the 2010 version
- Decent audio quality
- Glossy panel with inaccurate colours
- Low gaming capacity
- Tends to heat up
- Poor connectivity
Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (mid 2011)
Speedy, sexy, slim and swanky. Is there a more desirable laptop at the moment?- Super slim and sexy
- Incredible build quality
- Surprisingly speedy
- ThunderBolt port has many possibilities
- It's pricey
- Limited connectivity out the box
- No SD card reader
Great but the storage
i got the macbook air early this year it is fantastic really quick and super light but one thing is a put off, the storage!. seriously having a computer with 64GB Flash storage seriously! 64GB thats what computer 10 years ago had.
Not ideal, but it's a start.
I didn't get this machine because it's easier to use than Windows. It's not.- Hardware
- no-maintenance software
- overall quality
- Pathetic office software from Apple
- not as many key-hold tricks for quick writing editing
My favorite laptop (and I've used a lot!)
As a retired IT professional with nearly 40 year's experience in software development and *nix systems administration, I am extremely pleased with the latest Macbook 11.6" Air. It's the most portable laptop that I have ever used, and it's a wonderful companion to my desktop iMac.
