![]() ![]() I still love the wedge design, and there are few things I’d like Apple to change about the Air’s hardware. (I can’t say I had a problem with audio before, but the new setup does cancel out ambient noise impressively well.) For all intents and purposes the 11-inch model looks the same as always, with black keys and accents on a silver body. The one miniscule change is the same between models: there’s a second microphone on the left edge, designed for noise cancellation. It’s time for a new machine.Īs Nilay mentioned in his review of the larger model, there’s really nothing aesthetically new with the latest Air. Now, two-plus years of liveblogs and cross-country flights later, it’s falling apart - one of the USB ports only works half the time, audio output is horribly inconsistent, and it’s always a desperate sprint to make it through a meeting before my battery croaks. This time I bought a 13-inch MacBook Air. So I bought a 13-inch MacBook Pro, which served me well until I dropped it one too many times and downloaded one too many torrents, at which point it clutched its chest and collapsed in my living room. I needed a computer that was powerful but not quite so huge. My laptop stopped being my TV, my game console, my desk, and my serving tray for late-night Bagel Bites. The 15-inch Dell Inspiron E1505 I cajoled them into purchasing was backpack-fillingly large and back-breakingly heavy, but man did it have screen space.Įventually, my computing needs changed. When my parents bought me my first laptop, I fought tooth and nail to spend the extra money and get a bigger model.
