The Airs are mighty light: the 13.3-inch model weighs only 2.9 pounds, and its smaller sibling weighs 2.1 pounds. Both notebooks measure 0.68 inches at their thickest point and 0.11 inches at their thinnest point. The experience of holding one of these notes isn’t much different from the previous Air, however.

Immediately you’ll notice that launching an app is extremely fast on both of these notebooks, thanks to the usage of flash storage.

Safari launched in a fraction of a second; other apps were noticeably zippy with loading as well. The 11-inch model comes with either 64GB or 128GB flash storage, while its bigger sibling comes with 128GB or 256GB.

Other than size, a major difference is that the 13.3-inch model includes an SD card reader, while the 11-incher doesn’t.

Also, the 13.3-inch Air has a higher-resolution screen: 1440 by 900 pixels on the 13.3-inch model versus the 11-incher’s 1366 by 768 inches. For these reasons, I personally preferred the 13-inch model.

The MacBook Air costs between $1,000 and $1,600, depending on the screen size and storage capacity.
