Ondrej Holzman Apple introduced a new series of MacBook Air with significantly improved endurance. Thanks to Intel's Haswell processors, the new 11-inch MacBook Air lasts up to nine hours, the 13-inch MacBook Air lasts up to twelve hours.
The new MacBook Air series is no surprise. Exactly what has been speculated for weeks has happened. In terms of design, Apple's thinnest and smallest laptops remain the same, but changes have taken place inside.
The MacBook Air is now powered by Intel's all-new Haswell processor, which promises significantly improved battery life as well as boosted integrated graphics performance. With Haswell, Apple promises that the 11-inch model will last nine hours and the 13-inch MacBook Air up to twelve hours. This is a significant increase compared to the current five or seven hours. The new Intel HD Graphics 5000 provides a XNUMX percent increase in the performance of the graphics processor.
The new MacBook Airs will also offer 802.11ac Wi-Fi and, according to Apple, up to 45 percent faster flash storage.
All models are already available today on the Apple Online Store from 25 crowns. This is how much the 990-inch MacBook Air with 11GB SSD disk costs, the version with 128GB flash storage costs 256 crowns. The 31-inch MacBook Air costs 490 crowns and 28 crowns respectively. All mentioned machines have a 990GHz dual-core Intel Core i34 processor and 490GB of operating memory. You'll have to pay extra for 1,3GB of RAM, 5GB of flash storage, or a 4GHz Intel Core i8 processor.

I'm disappointed, I was looking forward to mbpr 15 with haswell processors, but I'll have to wait at least half a year
Is it possible to program on a Macbook Air 13″? Has anyone tried this?
13 mbp and no.-…suffering without a monitor
I have a 13″ mbw (mid 2010) with 4 GB of RAM and an SSD disk, I program in Java in Eclipse and it works quite well. I was more interested in how the MBA is in terms of performance and how long the keyboard will last.
I have absolutely no problem with the 13″ mbp, only the graphics are really bad there..
Agreement. I made the mistake of buying the MBA 13″ 2011 and today I would rather buy the 11″ and Thunderbolt Display. I don't do much traveling anyway...
I've been programming on the go with my MBP 13″ for over two years and have no problem with it. If one learns to use desktops (Mission Control) and keyboard shortcuts in a meaningful way, I dare say that it is almost as effective as on a desktop. But I do not deny that it is more comfortable on two monitors and a "big" keyboard.
It's fine for me. I was surprised myself (Xcode/iOS). I have Mid2012 with 256Flash+niftyminidrive and 8GB ram. But it is a necessity.
I'm not disappointed, but they could have already put the retina there. I'm curious when the air series will finally get it.
I'm sorry, but it will be at least two years before the classic MacBook Pro with mechanics disappears.
MacBook Pro 13″ with Retina D. does not have a rear drive.
Did I understand correctly that the display resolution does not change?
Presenting a machine with a resolution of 2013×1366 as your TOP model in the middle of 768 is quite bizarre. I was almost inclined to switch to a Mac, but that's not how it works. SONY VAIO PRO 11′ with Haswell, FullHD, 870g is my choice. Too bad, it was a close call...
Air is not top. Stylovka for a thousand.
The resolution is perfectly fine, unless you are a graphic artist. If you want to pick on Win, that's your choice, but I feel sorry for you. I don't want to do anything like that anymore in my life. Mac is about user experience, not technical fetish.
It's not cool, it's, let's say, tolerable. It's not just about graphics, but mainly about text rendering.
I'd rather not talk about fetishes in the Apple question, that could be somewhat ambiguous ;)
Ad win: if there is an option to downgrade to W7, then it is not a bad choice, it is definitely not "patlani". OS X and Linux are closer to my heart, but for a lot of things (office work, net, content consumption...) W7 on decent HW is quite a problem-free OS.
For me, the keynote was more than perfect. I'm excited about OS X and can't wait to install it. I've downloaded iOS 7 and I'm going to install it on my iPhone 5 soon. Mac book air or mac pro don't apply to me, but it's still a great progress. I plan to buy an iMac in the fall. I simply don't need to do it on Win, and especially I don't want to. And comparing Apple's HW with the competition is stupid.
