The tech world is stunned by the MacBook Air 2013

Although the design and appearance are not different from the current model, the MacBook Air still impresses thanks to the new Intel high-speed processor and incredible battery life of up to 11 hours of continuous operation.

The theoretical configuration of the attractive MacBook Air 2013, and the first series of reviews from reputable technology sites all compliment that configuration. Even some tech experts say they can use Air 2013 for up to 13 hours, instead of 11 hours as Apple claims.

The general spirit of review comments is that the MacBook Air has a long battery life that is "weird ", good graphics but slightly poor processing power compared to the previous version. Besides, Air 2013's resolution also started to bring back a sense of backwardness, when it wasn't as sharp as Sony's MacBook Pro Retina or Vaio Pro .

Specifically, The Verge page said they "fainted before the battery life of the Air ", surpassing all expectations and so the processing power has decreased a bit is also worth sacrificing. " 13 hours and 29 minutes. That's all you need to know. The MacBook Air has passed The Verge's battery test, which includes mass browsing of websites and heavy images at 65% brightness. Chrome has a slightly shorter duration, about 11 hours and 29 minutes, but it is still extremely impressive, which is a record for laptops without external batteries.

Meanwhile, the CNET page praised Intel's new processor as well as the combination of this chip with Apple's battery technology. "Great battery life is the common merit of both Apple and Intel (though more inclined towards Intel) and opens up a whole new era for MacBook. You have a computer that can turn on. Combining it with the right OS X, the best touchpad in the market today, we don't think a competitor can match the usability of this system. "

PCMag said that Air was born for warriors "grinding their face on each kilometer". If you really need to work on an airplane, train or on site, buy the MacBook Air 13 inches right away. This is the editor's choice in the category of ultraportable laptops of the year.

And despite complaining about the lack of Retina screen, but like colleagues, Engadget page still proved impressed by the extremely fast boot speed and battery of Air 2013. According to this page, these are two characteristics that help Air surpassed all opponents.

Only Gizmodo UK site is quite sluggish when criticizing Air's graphics power is only average and the lack of creative design in Apple is " slightly disappointing".
