One more thing… How it was. First MacBook Air

Where were compared Macbook Air and MacBook Pro. If you have decided that the elegant MacBook Air is worth buying, now you need to decide which The MacBook Air is a better fit - the smaller 11-inch or larger 13-inch sibling? In addition, what configuration of a particular model to choose.

Comparison of MacBook Air models

The 11-inch MacBook Air is Apple's lowest-priced starting point laptop at $1,000 (well, minus $1). For this money you will get a laptop equipped with a 11.6-inch display (diagonally) with 1366x768 pixels. It has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of flash memory. For an extra $200, you get a model with 256GB of memory.

The base 13-inch MacBook Air will set you back just $100 more. There, the same 4GB of RAM and 128GB of flash memory. The 13.3-inch display has 1440x900 pixels. You can also upgrade the memory up to 256 GB for an extra $200.

With the lid closed, the height of the MacBook Air -11 is just over a centimeter. The thinnest part of the front is 0.25 cm, rear part– only 1.14 cm high. MacBook Air -13 measures from 0.4 cm to 1.94 cm. Width 11-inch model 28.5 cm, 13-inch model 32.5 cm. Weight: 1 kg and 1, 3 kg, respectively.

Both laptops are equipped with stereo speakers, support 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. The keyboard of all models has a backlight, the illumination of which is automatically adjusted thanks to the installed sensors. It is tempting that the keyboard of the 11-inch and 13-inch model is the same size. All have OS X 10.9 Mavericks and iWork'13, iLife'13 applications installed.

The standard MacBook Air ranges from $999 to $1,299 and is already comparable in price to the base 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display (and even $100 more than the 13-inch MacBook Pro with regular display). If you spend $1850 ordering the ultimate package, you'll get the most sophisticated MacBook Air ever.

Let's start comparing models

Maximum portability or a larger screen

How important is the 2 inch difference?

The 11-inch MacBook Air is Apple's ugly duckling, the only laptop to come with a 16:9 aspect ratio. All other laptops have a 16:10 screen ratio.

This approach in design makes it, despite its tiny size, more cinematic. This is the form factor you'll see on flat HD TVs. The same aspect ratios are used in movies. It turns out that you see the width of the image more than the height. The 11-inch MacBook Air is wider and shorter than its 13-inch brother.

The density of 135 pixels per inch is even higher than the 13-inch model (which has 128 pixels), but this difference is not huge.

Some users love the wide screen, others hate it, claiming the screen is too narrow. This is a very subjective opinion, so my advice is to see what works best for you.

The resolution of the 13-inch MacBook Air is 1440x900. At the same size, he has even more a high resolution than a non-Retina MacBook Pro. The resolution is higher, but not Retina is a very important difference - not a single MacBook Air model No Retina display. This certainly makes the MacBook Air's batteries easier to handle, making them remarkably long-lasting. But the MacBook Air is becoming less appealing to users who want better quality text and graphics.

Still, when talking about the Retina display, we must take into account that for many years we lived without it. And if you have not started using it, then for now you can do without it. The 13-inch MacBook Air shows quite a decent picture on the screen.

Light weight or outlet independent

How long can I use my MacBook Air without recharging?

Screen size isn't the only major difference between the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air. The larger size of the case allows you to put a battery with a larger capacity. The models have 38 Wh and 54 Wh batteries, respectively.

Both MacBook Air models deliver outstanding runtimes, thanks in part to the Haswell processor, which is more power efficient than previous processors. Apple said that the 11-inch MacBook Air can run up to 9 hours on a single charge, and the 13-inch up to 12 hours. So if you spend all day away from power sources, the 13-inch model will be your best choice.

Slim design or 3rd party connectivity

What can you attach to a MacBook Air?

Both the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air have a 720p camera built into the center, above the screen. They have a 1/8" headphone jack, two microphones (for better voice recording, or Skype or FaceTime conversations), two USB 3.0 ports (one on each side), and one Thunderbolt port (on the right side). Thunderbolt, regular, not Thunderbolt 2.

The possibilities for connecting external devices differ only one. The 13-inch MacBook Air has an SDXC card slot on the right side. If you are already using or planning to buy digital camera, which records to an SD card, and intend to use your MacBook Air to edit photos and videos taken with such a camera, the 13-inch MacBook Air will be a convenient choice.

More RAM

If necessary?

4GB of RAM is standard throughout the MacBook Air line. This is quite enough to run Mavericks, for Internet applications and, in general, for all applications that require normal performance. Well, if you really use RAM intensively: work with media editors, run many applications at the same time, etc., you should think about 8 GB of memory. It's worth considering buying a MacBook Air with this amount of RAM if you're thinking about the future. Apple releases its devices with a backlog for the planned changes. So, for example, a 2010 MacBook Air with 2 GB is already quite slow with Mavericks.

It is worth saying that you immediately must Decide how much RAM you need. Add volume by soldering extra memory to motherboard will not work.

More Flash Memory

If necessary?

This is probably the most difficult question when buying a MacBook Air. If you're migrating from another machine, chances are you have apps and files that need to be migrated.

Compared to 512 GB on hard drives, which have recently been used in laptops, 128GB of flash memory is quite scarce space. Most likely, everything will have to be cut back drastically. Rarely used files can be archived and transferred to external drive, server or even in cloud storage. It may also not be a bad idea to use iCloud.

Deciding how you do it all you will use, consider options

The 256 GB configuration will add $200 to the price of the base model (we get $1199 and $1299, respectively). If this is not enough, then add another $300 to the resulting price, and we get 512 GB for $1499 and $1599, respectively, for the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air.

In any case, increasing flash memory is quite expensive. There are companies like Other World Computing that specialize in SSDs for older MacBook Airs. Please note that for the latest MacBook Air, they do not yet have SSD drives. This is due to the use of new Haswell processor and changing the entire system of the flash drive.

Processor i7

Is it necessary?

On paper, the MacBook Air looks sluggish compared to the MacBook Pro or some PC laptops. But this is a misleading look. Flash storage makes a significant difference in operational efficiency. It also helps that the same company (Apple) builds the computer and develops the operating system that runs on that computer. The operating system has been carefully optimized to make the most of the processor's capabilities.

Standard 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor optimized for macbook work Air. But if you're willing to shell out $150, you'll get a dual-core Intel Core i7 processor. Besides the 30 percent difference in clock speed, there are other differences inside the i7. It has an additional megabyte of cache - 4MB instead of 3MB on the i5. The cache stores frequently accessed data. More cache means more data can be stored on the chip, which means the i7 is faster.

i5 and i7 "Turbo Boost" acceleration technology automatically turns on the fastest cores. This Turbo mode practically doubles the frequency - from 2.6 GHz on i5, to 3.3 GHz on i7.

Both processors use integrated graphics - HD Intel Graphics 5000, and the i7 processor handles graphics faster than the i5. If you want the best performance, it's worth spending $150 on an i7 processor. But in principle, this is absolutely not necessary - a standard processor more than enough for everyday use.

Who should buy the 11-inch MacBook Air

If weight and size are your top criteria for choosing a laptop, the 11-inch MacBook Air is your machine. It's slightly larger than the iPad Air (although it's more than twice as heavy), but it's completely functional computer A Mac that can do whatever you want. The 11-inch MacBook Air will be an amazing computer for kids in schools and students looking for a light and flexible device.

There are a few trade-offs that you agree on - a smaller (about 20%) display and no SD card slot. If that doesn't matter in use, then the lightweight, small 11-inch MacBook Air is the perfect mobile laptop.

Who should buy a 13-inch MacBook Air

The base 13-inch model is $100 more expensive. But it has a bigger screen best time battery life, there is a slot for an SD card. Until the October update of the MacBook Pro, it was a near-perfect balance of lightness, performance, and price. Following the release of the MacBook Pro with Retina display and Apple's announcement of new pricing, a $200 difference separates the base 13-inch MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. But by spending that $200, you'll get a much faster processor, better graphics performance, best screen, more RAM and storage (up to 16GB RAM and 1TB flash storage). With two Thunderbolt 2 ports and an HDMI port, you will greatly increase the possibilities of connecting external devices. The MacBook Pro with Retina display is about 200 grams heavier.

Conclusion: If you're not willing or able to pay for a MacBook Pro with Retina display, or if you want lighter weight, longer battery life, and not bother comparing the two machines, the MacBook Air is an amazing, lightweight laptop.

Please note that the two "XX" characters before the "/" may differ depending on the country in which the device was purchased.

In addition, there is one more additional possibility of determining the Mac model. To do this, you need to find out the model ID (displayed in the main menu section  → « About this Mac» → "System Report" → « Hardware”) or model number (shown on the packaging from the computer or on the receipt).

This data should be compared with the table below and thus determine the model of MacBook Pro, Air, iMac and Mac mini.

Products Apple is considered to be the highest quality and demanded in modern world. Thin and compact in appearance, but powerful in their parameters, laptops manufactured by this company have gained particular fame. If you are reading this article, then most likely you are thinking about purchasing an Apple MacBook. Here you will find the necessary recommendations to help you choose good macbook tailored to your needs and budget.

When choosing a Macbook, there are several factors to consider at once.

So, what models of laptops from this company exist and how do they differ? Let's sort it out in order.

Production of the modification of this laptop, which is now on sale, began in March 2015. Apple MacBook Air is the most affordable laptop model from this manufacturer. There are currently two 13-inch models on the market. Initially, an 11-inch model was also on the market, but it was soon discontinued. Now you can only buy it as a used version.

MacBook Air is great for travelers and people with an active lifestyle. If you do not like to sit within four walls and prefer to work with a laptop in a cafe, outdoors, in the country, and so on, this light and compact model will suit you best.

The laptop is equipped with a 1.6 GHz dual-core Core i5 processor and has 8 GB of RAM. All MacBook Air models come with an integrated HD Graphics 6000 card. The manufacturer promises a 12-hour battery life when using the Internet and watching videos.

The main difference between the two MacBook Air models is the storage capacity. For the cheaper model, which has a factory price of $999, that goes up to 128GB. The $1,199 model, meanwhile, has a 256GB drive.

The laptop has a built-in Wi-Fi module that allows you to connect to the network. And it also has Bluetooth, allowing you to connect a mouse and other wireless devices. If you want to work on this laptop in Ethernet networks, you will need a special USB adapter(Apple factory price for this adapter is $29). The laptop supports Thunderbolt 2 technology.

There are also two USB 3.0 ports that can work with devices using USB 2.0. MacBook Air is able to perform everyday routine tasks, send and receive e-mail, provide full Internet access, and work with office applications. It can be used to edit short videos and to process images from iPhone and other devices.

This option can be chosen by those users who need to perform a variety of work on the computer on the road or moving from place to place. And also this the best option working laptop for freelancer. MacBook Air is the most inexpensive laptop Apple, which makes it also attractively priced.

The next model we'll look at was released in April 2016. It's an ultraportable laptop that's even lighter than a MacBook Air. It is intended for people who prefer mobility to all other tasks, including various additional features and performance. This laptop only comes in one size: 12 inches. But there are a variety of colors: rose gold, space gray, gold, silver.

There are two modifications that differ in processor power. The $1,299 model is powered by a 1.1GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor and has 256GB of storage space. The more expensive $1,599 model has the same processor, but at 1.2GHz and 512GB of storage. Both models have 8 GB of RAM and an integrated Intel HD Graphics 515.

Also, this laptop is equipped with a Retina display, which means it has an ultra-high resolution and is able to show a sharper image than the MacBook Air, which has a standard display. standard definition modern display Retina on a MacBook is 2304x1440.

Like the previous model, the laptop is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules, but it has only one USB-C port for connecting storage devices, printers, external displays, power adapters and more. If your devices use more than early version USB, you will need a special USB-C to USB adapter which costs about $19. And you will also need an adapter to connect to Ethernet ($29 factory Apple price) - in addition to the previous adapter, since both will be needed to connect. Finally, if you want to connect an HDMI or VGA display, you'll need another $49 adapter.

However, the performance of the Core M processor of this model is at a good level and can be compared with the performance of the MacBook Air. Thus, the laptop can also perform all the necessary everyday tasks. This model is suitable for those users who do not have the need to frequently connect external devices, since carrying a whole bunch of adapters with you is not very convenient. At the same time, the laptop is thin, light and perfect for people who are light on their feet.

The last model on the list is the MacBook Pro, released in October 2016. The model differs in the advanced screen with especially accurate and bright image. If you look at the screen from the usual distance at which the user is used to working at a computer, it becomes impossible to see individual pixels.

The laptop is designed for demanding users who pay special attention to performance. On the this moment the Pro model is Apple's first performance laptop.

There is a whole line of modifications of this laptop.

• Model for $1499. Screen 13 inches, dual core core processor i5 2 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB disk space, integrated Intel Iris Graphics 540, no touchpad.
• MacBook Pro $1799. The screen is also 13 inches, but the processor frequency is higher - 2.9 GHz. The size of the memory and disk, as well as the card, are identical to the previous model, but there is a touch panel Touch Bar - a novelty from Apple, which each user can customize for himself by placing the functions he needs.
• The next model is priced at $1999. It has the same frequency of the processor - 2.9 GHz, a 13-inch screen, the same amount of RAM and the same card as the previous model. The difference lies only in the amount of disk space, in this model its volume is 512 GB. The touchpad is also present.
• Model for $2399. This laptop has bigger screen- 15 inches, as well as another processor - a dual-core Core i7 at 2.6 GHz. The amount of RAM is 16 GB, disk space - 256 GB. There is an integrated Intel HD Graphics 530 card, as well as a discrete radeon video card Pro 450 2 GB. There is also a touch panel.
• The $2,799 model is identical to the previous one except the following parameters: processor frequency 2.7 GHz, disk capacity 512 GB, discrete graphics card Radeon Pro

And a few more words about the new Touch Bar - innovation and distinguishing feature these laptops. It is the input device located at the top of the keyboard. The buttons on this panel and the functions they invoke depend on the software being used. Note that the $1,499 first model of the MacBook Pro line doesn't have a touch bar, just the regular function buttons.

Overall, MacBook Pro laptops are the most powerful laptops Apple has ever released. This is especially true for 15-inch models with improved graphics card performance.

Comparison of some models

The $1,499 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air show some interesting comparisons. In performance testing, the MacBook Pro performs significantly more impressively - it is 25 percent faster. When using professional software applications it also leads in terms of speed. A slightly different picture is obtained when using conventional software applications - browsers and Email. In this case, the MacBook Pro shows only a slight performance advantage. While working, for example in a browser or text editor the difference is almost imperceptible to the average user.

For the most demanding users, the $1,799 MacBook Pro is the best bet. This model has retina display, which provides an excellent image. The performance of this laptop is also at a good level. And the disk space and two inches diagonal that separate this model from the next in the line are not decisive and do not provide a serious advantage, but the price varies significantly.

ADVICE. If you need maximum performance, then the choice is obvious, Apple's most powerful laptop is the $2799 MacBook Pro. If regular work at the computer includes only access to the Internet and work in a text editor, then the MacBook Air will be enough for you. Well, if you are not chasing the most modern models, you can also use a used Macbook.

New or used?

Experience shows that the service life Apple computers is very durable thanks to their good quality. Processor performance has not increased much in recent years. The main changes that are being made to the new models relate mainly to battery life and various innovative elements, such as the touch panel. Therefore, the demand for used equipment of this company is not weakening.

In general, all Apple equipment produced in recent years demonstrates an equally high quality. Therefore, you can buy a used MacBook Air from 2013 and get a great laptop for your daily needs at a significantly reduced price compared to the new model.

In order not to make a mistake when buying, you can follow the steps below to help you choose a good working used Macbook.

We hope this guide will help you make right choice and purchase a laptop, new or used, the parameters of which will fully meet your needs. After all, Apple technology can serve its owner for a really long time. Good luck!

It's no secret that Apple is striving in every possible way to gain undisputed leadership in the gadget market. If earlier the release of the first generation of laptops could be something unusual and, of course, individual, then by 2012 there was a huge competition that could force out the brand new Apple MacBook Air 13 "".

So that the fifth generation of laptops does not pass by users and wins a lot positive feedback from buyers, the company had to work hard. It was necessary to create such a device that could easily fight for the championship not only among its “brothers”, but also among other manufacturers.

Equipment

The "apple" company did not invent something new for the presentation of its laptop. The set looks normal. The box is branded, made in white. The laptop model itself is displayed in front. Moreover, the marketing department tried to attract buyers to the ultra-thin gadget with just one photo. The model is also indicated here, there is a company logo.

The box itself is quite compact compared to previous models, which again hints at the design of the model. Inside, in addition to the device, there is a charger with an extension cord. As well as a few "books" with a manual and a couple of stickers.

Appearance

Notebook Apple MacBook Air 13"" does not stand out with a special original design. It is made in the corporate style and retains the classics of previous models that were introduced back in 2010. The main body material is aluminum alloy, here is a single sheet, which is led into desired shape using milling. That is, the case received the well-known Unibody technology. The material is light, of high quality, pleasant to the touch, with good conductivity and longevity.

The dimensions of the novelty are 33x22 cm. The thickness of the laptop is different, as it has a wedge-shaped shape. Therefore, in some parts, 17 mm is found, and in some it decreases to 3 mm. Since the model is considered mobile, its weight is only 1300 grams without a power supply. Together with him - 1.5 kilograms.

Case for Apple MacBook Air 13"" is better to buy immediately. Despite the fact that the surface of the aluminum alloy is of high quality, scratches may still form on it due to the imitation of gloss. In general, the lid looks concise, it displays the company logo. No other emblems or elements can be found. Behind placed rubberized legs.

Element base

When looking at the dimensions of the case, it becomes clear that on the front side you can not find any elements, ports or connectors. Here the thickness reaches only 3-5 mm. Although the back face is much thicker, it also remains empty, only decorated with a black insert.

The left side contains a power connector for MagSafe 2. By the way, its second version is somewhat different from the first. Next to this port is a slot for USB 3.0, there is also a place to connect headphones or acoustics. Nearby is a dotted grid, behind which the microphone is hidden.

On the right side of the Apple MacBook Air 13 "" there is a proprietary Thunderbolt, another USB 3.0 connector, and there is also a card reader. But what you really can’t find is a drive. For the sake of slim body it was not included in the model. Those who need a drive can purchase an additional branded external drive.

The main feature of this model was the absence of heat output grilles and sound reproduction. More precisely, at first glance it seems that they are not there, but if you open the laptop, they can be found under the keyboard block.

under cover

If we open the Apple MacBook Air 13 "", we immediately come across a display and a keyboard with a touchpad. Let's look at the last elements. In principle, outwardly they are made in a corporate design. The keyboard received an island type, and the distance between the keys is increased for comfortable use.

The surface on which the keys are located is the same as the rest of the case, but slightly deepened inwards. You can also see that each key has its own hole. They, by the way, also have an adjustable backlight for the convenience of working in the dark. The top row, as in many laptop models, is occupied by the standard F1-F12 keys, which can simultaneously control the device's functions: change the screen brightness, volume level, key backlight, etc.

To use F1-F12, just press these buttons. If you manage functions, you must press them in combination with Fn.

The touchpad is also unchanged from previous models. It works in multi-touch mode, has a comfortable size and can also be turned off if not needed.

Screen

As the name implies, the Apple MacBook Air 13 "" received a 13-inch display. It was originally made by Samsung. It has a backlight and a good resolution of 1440×900 pixels. The display has a glossy finish. The touchscreen was not received. When this laptop model came out with an update in 2015, it was expected that Retina would be applied in it, but this did not happen. It also used a display from Samsung.

The screen is of very good quality. Despite being molded from plastic, it is scratch resistant and covered with a mirror-smooth surface that is similar to an oleophobic coating. By the way, the display received excellent anti-reflective properties. Even with a direct hit of the rays, it is comfortable to work with the device.

Viewing angles are not very good. If the colors are not strongly distorted when tilted to the left or right, then deterioration is noticeable when shifted up or down. In the first case, the image becomes very light, and in the second, on the contrary, it becomes dark, almost black.

In general, the screen brightness is not bad, anti-glare properties are good. In complete darkness, the screen can be adjusted to a comfortable display. Also pleased with the lack of flicker. Otherwise, there are also negative sides of the screen. It has terrible viewing angles, narrow color gamut, and low grayscale balance.

Performance

The Apple MacBook Air 13 "" has different characteristics, depending on the year of manufacture. For example, immediately after entering the market, the laptop was equipped with a dual-core Intel Core i5-3427U processor. The frequency of its core was 1800 MHz, and the peak reached 2800 MHz. This chip should be attributed to mobile solutions, since the maximum thermal package reaches 17 watts.

There was also a variant with a dual-core Intel Core i7-3667U, which was considered much more powerful. He has the same thermal package, but the frequencies differ. The maximum can reach 3200 MHz. The graphics accelerator of this model was the Intel HD Graphics 4000 video core, there was also a version 5000. Its base frequency is 350 MHz, and the peak frequency is 1150 MHz.

There was immediately 4 GB of RAM, type DDR3. The RAM chips were soldered on the motherboard. It was possible to order a model with 8 GB. The hard drive here served as an SSD solid-state array. It was offered with a capacity of 128 or 256 GB. By pre-order, you could also choose 512 GB.

A couple of years later, when the update of the fifth Apple Generations MacBook Air 13"", performance reviews improved. The thing is that the processors were replaced with newer ones, and the graphics core also changed. The memory type became DDR3L-1600.

Battery

The Apple MacBook Air 13"" A1466 battery of the 2014 model has become somewhat more powerful. Initially, the laptop was equipped with a 6700 mAh version, and after a couple of years - at 7150 mAh. As a result, watching a video without recharging will last a little more than 5 hours, and normal work with text and images up to 10 hours.

This testing was carried out on the Windows 8 operating system. If you use the proprietary "apple" Mac OS X, then offline work may take more than 12 hours. Relative to the performance of the 2013 model, improvements in laptop autonomy are also noticeable.

sound

As mentioned earlier, when you do a review on the Apple MacBook Air 13"", it's hard to immediately notice the external speakers. They hid under the cover of the device. In general, the acoustics are not bad, they passed a lot of tests and received an above-average rating.

The volume level is not bad, both maximum and minimum. The sound quality is also good, designed for both listening with headphones and using external speakers. Dynamic Range is about 92 dB, the percentage distortion is negligible 0.0019%. Good performance and other characteristics.
