Apple MacBook 13 inch

 

Great things are getting even greater. Apple combined the possibility of having an ultrathin laptop with incredible battery life and maximum performance for a price that puts the product ahead of the competition.

 

Frequent travelers and even people-on-the-go will rejoice with the Apple MacBook Air 13 (mid-2013). It is very light and portable making it the most recommended laptop for businessmen who often go on meetings abroad. If other ultraportable gadgets die down on the 4th or 6th hour, MacBook retains its life the whole day and night. Its long battery life is highly remarkable but that is not all. You can expect great performance from it just like the previous laptops.

 

Features

The physical characteristics of Apple MacBook Air 13 (2013) are identical to the previously released models. The exterior and display are the same as the earlier versions. It is made from an all-aluminum body that tapers from 0.11 inches thick in front and 0.68 inches in the back. It is thin and portable with side panels housing the pair of USB 3.0 ports. The screen resolution is slightly lower than other brands like Dell XPS 13-MLK and Acer S7-191-6640 but the difference can hardly be seen. If you take a look at the interior, the Air 13 has new and faster SSDs. The memory space is more than enough for your files but if you want more, you may order with a pre-installed 8GB additional space.

 

Here are the other remarkable features:

• 12.8 x 8.9 inches  and 2.91 pounds

• Intel Core i5-4250U Processor

• PCIe-based Flash Storage

• 128 GB flash memory

• Pair of USB 3.0 ports

• Thunderbolt port – form mini Display port for external monitors

• Headset jack

• SDXC card slot

• Dual Microphone – for clearer sound during FaceTime sessions

• MagSafe 2 power connector

• 13.3 inches display of 1,440 by 900.screen resolution 

 

Pros

The ultraportable gadget with battery life extending up to 15 hours blows away the competition in the market. It has a very nice screen and the dual microphone is very usable for FaceTime and future Siri. The backlit keyboard is very comfortable to type on because of its great tactility and broad layout. The glass-surface multi-touch trackpadperfectly responds to various commands and gestures. The system boots in less than 12 seconds and wakes up from sleep faster. Just like other Apple devices, the overall design and feel is impressive.

 

Cons

The Apple MacBook Air 13 has no HDMI and no touch screen option which for some, the lack of Ethernet port and optical drive may ruin the deal. The processor is a bit slower on the multi-media benchmark tests. The physical look stands out but it can be scratch prone. It also has no retina display yet and it may get more out-of-budget as you max out the SSD and RAM.

The weight and dimensions of Apple Air 13 are thin and amazing if the review happens a few years back. But with today’s devices, other brands like Samsung Series 9 and Sony VAIO Pro 13 managed to have thinner and lighter releases. But despite its shortcomings, the Apple MacBook Air 13 (2013) is a sleek device that you would want to bring it anywhere you go. With its double battery life, it is well worth for your busy and demanding schedule.

 

Warranty

Apple MacBook Air 13 comes with the standard one-year warranty with 90 days free of phone support.
