The new MacBook Air is just amazing. It is light and compact making it easy to take along with me on the train or to work meetings. The speed is fantastic, taking only seconds to turn on or off. The set up was straight forward and took only a matter of minutes. I am in love with my new mac!

the best notebook on the market at this time, I also have the Acer Aspire S7-191-6447 (11.6 inch) that cost me $1150 and it in no-way is in comparison to the MBA 11.6

The performance are outstanding, the battery life is amazing, and the weight is just right. I don't think before taking my laptop everywhere I go anymore !

Apple's 11-inch Air gets a CPU speed bump and a decent price cut over the already excellent 2013 version. If you have a recent model there's no need to upgrade, but for anyone else, it's now a better deal than ever.

The new 11-inch MacBook Air is a little faster and runs even longer; thanks to a small spec bump.

The new CPU is a very minor upgrade over last year's Air and the system is still lacking an SD card slot

(3 items) Editor's note: This review was updated on 5/20/14 to include the $1099 11-inch MacBook Air with 256GB of flash storage. There's not much new about Apple's updated MacBook Air lineup. Fortunately, the Air was already a top-notch portable computer.

Apple unveiled the latest incarnation of its hot-selling MacBook Air lineup at WWDC 2013, taking somewhat of a gamble in concentrating on greatly extended battery life in lieu of a more conventional performance boost. But did that bet pay off?

Don't call the MacBook Air a netbook: Steve Jobs will slice you with it, ninja-Frisbee style. Assault by turtleneck-loving CEOs aside, the new Air is designed to hang in the category of cheap, low-power consuming netbooks. But can it justify its thousand-dollar price tag? Not really.

I wish it has at least an IPS panel (It's 2014 for the love of god!) but I forgive it for having an amazing battery life. It literally runs all day!I did get the base i5/4GB/128GB first but ended up returning it right away and ordered this i7/8GB/128GB one.
