Likewise missing: dedicated VGA or HDMI outputs are no-shows (you'll need an aftermarket adapter for the Mini-DisplayPort jack). Even more disappointing, the 13-inch version lacks a backlit keyboards. There seems to be a lot of extra real estate around the actual screen, and one can assume the extra room was required to keep the keyboard from feeling cramped.ĭoubling the USB ports over the original Air from one to two is a welcome gesture, but only the 13-inch has an SD card slot (seriously, Apple: every 10-inch netbook has an SD card slot, it's not that hard). Perhaps it's to save on weight, but it's really the only aesthetic bum note about the system. The screen area lacks the edge-to-edge glass over a black bezel found in other MacBooks instead the screen is surrounded by a thick silver bezel. This is the first MacBook with a 16:9 display (the 13-inch is still 16:10), and uses the same 1366x768-pixel native resolution as most laptops from 11 to 15 inches. Apple calls it Instant On, and though it's not exactly instant, it boots up very, very fast - faster even than an iPad.

It's not necessarily a software feature, but the system boots extremely quickly.

The most notable new additions are iPhoto slideshows that place pictures on an interactive map with GPS data, and a series of amusing movie trailer templates in iMovie, complete with canned Hollywood-style scores.

The iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand apps include tons of useful and fun features, and are ideal for casual consumers (although pros will likely stick with Photoshop, Final Cut and Logic or Pro Tools). Notable is the inclusion of the latest version of Apple's iLife suite of software. Other laptop makers have subsequently added similar click pads, and we hear the next generation of click pads will fully depress, instead of working off a top hinge, which should make for an even better experience.

The pad is hinged at the top, allowing the entire pad to click down, but we prefer traditional tapping (which is off by default and must be activated in the Preferences menu). Typing was typically excellent, but we're so used to the backlit keys on other MacBooks, we missed it instantly.Īpple's large multi-touch trackpad remains the best available, largely thanks to the software that enables gestures control. The F5 key is the only one missing an alternate function on other MacBooks, it's for the keyboard backlight. The large keyboard and trackpad (which is the same glass version found on other MacBooks) both work well, although the function keys at the very top are very small. Interestingly, the 11- and 13-inch both narrow down to the same 30mm. The body is tapered toward the front, creating an optical illusion of even more thinness (although it's still only 17mm thick at the rear). The shape is closer to the previous Air than we would have expected, given the radical redesign the iPhone 4 got over its predecessors. The all-metal construction keeps it from feeling too fragile, often an issue for ultrathin systems. The new Airs, in both the 13-inch and 11-inch formats, are incredibly thin and light, even to someone used to working with very small laptops (such as Sony's SSD Vaio Z models). Since the start of the MacBook era, Apple had largely ignored the shift in laptop prices and sizes, opting instead to stick to the higher end of the market, and not going below 13 inches.

If anything, the addition of an 11-inch size is a nod to the past several years of laptop development, where small, inexpensive netbooks started as a niche market, with 7- and then 9-inch screens, then moved into the mainstream with 10- and 11-inch versions.
