Apple MacBook Air 13-Inch (2015) Review

The latest upgrade of the 13-inch Apple MacBook Air brings a more powerful Core i5 processor and an astounding 17.5 hours of battery life. It remains our top choice for ultraportable laptops.

Apple MacBook Air 2015 13-inch, 128GB

But that doesn't mean we're writing the MacBook Air off. It remains one of the most universally useful laptops you can buy, thanks to a still-slim design, excellent keyboard and touchpad, generally fast performance and great battery life. That the Air...

Thanks to a new generation of processors, the MacBook Air gets improved battery life, while maintaining its now classic thin and light metal exterior.

Little else has changed over the past few years, while the competition is catching up on design, battery life and usability. The low-res screen feels more dated than ever.

While still a great all-around useful laptop, the 13-inch MacBook Air is stuck with a lower-res display and a design that's no longer cutting-edge.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch, 256GB

It may be a case of "the more things change, the more they stay the same."

New Intel fourth-gen CPUs help the updated MacBook Air achieve amazing battery life. The multitouch trackpad is still the industry's best, and even better, the 13-inch MacBook Air now starts at $100 less than the previous model.

Newer features such as touch screens and higher-resolution displays are still missing. The ultrabook competition is catching up, in terms of design.

Apple keeps the latest MacBook Air updates on the inside, but greatly improved battery life and a lower starting price make up for a lack of flashy design changes.

Apple MacBook Air 13 (2015) Notebook Review

New inner values. Apple's new MacBook Air 13 is even faster than previous models. But, not only the performance is a positive aspect. However, the flaws of the previous generations were, unfortunately, hardly improved.

build quality, system noise during normal use, system performance, battery life

Maintenance, TN panel, 12 months warranty

Once again Apple offers a great and high-end product with the small update. The weaknesses already known from previous models like the TN panel with modest viewing angles were not improved. The resolution also remained unchanged. However, the enormous...

13-inch MacBook Air review: Apple's affordable laptop nicely blends performance and portability

Underneath the sleek exterior, MacBook Air is packed with powerful components that give you smoother graphics, faster storage, and all-around serious performance. Not to mention enough battery life to get you through the day. The result? A computer...

The MacBook Air marches on as a solid, lightweight laptop with enough performance for a large number of users to serve both on the road and on an office desk. They might suffer from a case of feature envy, but more features would surely result in...

Review: Apple's new 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch MacBook Air (Late 2010)

At its "Back to the Mac" event, Apple launched a revamped 13-inch MacBook Air and an entirely new 11-inch MacBook Air as products combining the company's MacBook line with lessons learned in iPad development.

Solid construction despite featherweight, ultra-thin design ; Great battery life and instant-on usability ; Speedy SSD performance ; Quite, cool operation ; New SD Card slot on the 13 inch model ; Smart flash drive alternative to installer DVDs

Limited RAM and CPU upgrade options ; Optical, Ethernet, HDMI all require dongles ; No backlit keyboard option

In raw benchmarks, the new MacBook Air scores about the same as the previous models, which were offered at the same clock speeds. Our benchmarks were slightly better, but the newer, high end Air also had 4GB to work with. While not nearly as fast as a...

Apple MacBook Air 2015 review: Only better with time

The MacBook Air is as functional as it is a pleasure to take it on the road

Comfortable and well backlit keyboard, along with an accurate and responsive trackpad ; Good battery life ; Strong portfolio of connectivity options

Bulkier than its rivals ; Screen has a low resolution and narrow viewing angles

MacBook Air review

Grabbing a MacBook Air now fetches you faster storage

Excellent battery life ; Nippy storage ; Keyboard

Dated design ; Display ; Speakers

Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air now comes with much faster storage, better battery life and slightly improved performance in other areas. On the other hand, its display and design are beyond dated.

MacBook Air review: is this a better choice than the smaller MacBook?

More powerful than the MacBook but packing fewer features than the Retina MacBook Pro, the 13-inch MacBook Air now sits somewhere in-between the two.

Battery life ; Fast storage ; Ports

Display ; Dated design ; Speakers

The MacBook Air is unexciting and not as fashionable as it once was, but its excellent battery life, decent performance and good selection of ports make it worthy of your consideration for another year.
