Engine Room 1st: Macbook Air 2011 1.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 or 1.8GHz Intel Core i7Ģnd: Macbook Air 2010 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (13.3"), 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (11") The 2011 model brings little change in the display department, with things very much the same as last years. The ultra-bright LED backlit display is pretty difficult to improve on, being one of the absolute best laptop screens out there for viewing angles and colour saturation. Somewhat bizarrely, the 13.3 inch MacBook Air actually boasts a higher screen resolution than its more expensive MacBook Pro cousin. There is however the added bonus of an ambient light sensing backlit keyboard with the 2011 offering, meaning easier typing in dark situations, plus it just looks cooler. Both the 20 models are unbelievably lightweight and portable and feature the same form factor. The laptop, despite being immensely strong, is so close to a piece of paper in thickness, that it feels like you could snap it with one finger. The first time you pick up a MacBook Air it is difficult to ignore just how thin the thing is. But which MacBook Air is best? Is it really worth shelling out for a new one? Or should fans of the 2010 model hang on to their cash. With the 2011 MacBook Air Apple looks to take that formula and build on it, attempting to improve on things in every way. The decision to ditch disc drives and go for Solid-state only storage also brought with it rapid sleep/wake times and a seriously lengthy battery life. As ultra-portables go 2010s Air wasn't exactly a slouch, long retaining the tiny crown until eventually being toppled by the Samsung Series 9. (Pocket-lint) - The new MacBook Air is here, complete with brand spanking new OSX Lion and a connectivity update in the shape of a speedy Thunderbolt port.
