Apple MacBook Air 11in 2012
– even though, strictly speaking, it isn't actually an Ultrabook, according to Intel's proprietary definition of the term. This 2012 model doesn't tamper with the winning formula, but it does provide a respectable update that should keep it at the head of the pack.

Apple updates its smallest MacBook Air for 2012 with a speedier CPU and USB 3.0 ports, while retaining the design elements that make it an outstanding ultraportable. It faces more competition these days (from Windows ultrabooks), but it's still the best 11-inch laptop you can buy.
Pros:
- Speedy Intel "Ivy Bridge" processor
- solid-state storage
- and USB 3.0 ports
- Familiar sleek and sturdy design
- Excellent keyboard for such a small and slim laptop

- Not any thinner or lighter than last year's model

Apple MacBook Air 11 (2011)
Last October, Apple's 11-inch MacBook Air debuted. The tiny, slim ultraportable was the smallest laptop Apple had ever made. Its combination of size and power earned it a four-star review, with caveats: it had a last-generation Core 2 Duo processor, lacked a backlit keyboard and omitted an SD card...
Pros:
- Dramatically faster than last year's version
- Backlit keyboard
- High-speed Thunderbolt I/O port
Cons:
- Entry-level Air still has the same limited fixed flash storage and RAM as last year's version
- Still no SD card slot
- Ethernet port or 3G wireless option

Not ideal, but it's a start.
I didn't get this machine because it's easier to use than Windows. It's not.
Pros:
- Hardware
- no-maintenance software
- overall quality
Cons:
- 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.
