Rivals for the MacBook Air are the Asus Zenbook-series, Dell's XPS 13, Sony's Vaio Pro 13 and Duo 13, the Samsung Ativ Book 9-series as well as Apple's own MacBook Pro 13. The configurable top version with a faster i7 CPU and twice the amount of memory and flash storage retails for 1,749 Euros (~$2387). However, there is a difference, Apple charges around 1,200 Euros (~$1638) for our review version, which is 100 Euros (~$136) less than last year. Everything stays the same concerning the display, the port variety and the design. The MacBook Air MD761D/B now uses the latest Haswell processor technology from Intel more precisely a Core i5-4260U clocked at 1.4 GHz in combination with 4 GB RAM and 256 GB flash storage. Nothing changed in terms of design since the first MacBook Air back in 2008, except for the keyboard background illumination introduced in 2010.īecause there have not been big changes, we will focus on some key aspects in this review update, all other information is available in our in-depth review of the Apple MacBook Air MD760D/A and apply for our review unit as well. The previously reviewed MacBook Air once again got an update that focuses on the hardware. For the original German review, see here.Įvery year we get an Apple update – at least sort of.
