Macbook Air 13" 2011 vs 2010: Speed Test Comparison

[hwitxhaha]

can u compare between old man and young man, seee which one is better?

[mirageh264]

No offense but you remind me of Doctor Rush from Star Gate Universe :-D

[tslashify]

And boom, like a baby's bottom (or flat) guys guys guys

[send2daa]

and .... one two boom

[MegaLeoben]

boom



[CampKillYourself5432]

like this if you think the top commentes are cinda stupid

[putatoes]

@CampKillYourself5432 No because your comment is stupid aswell

[CampKillYourself5432]

@putatoes so is yours

[putatoes]

@CampKillYourself5432 And the one you just posted

[CampKillYourself5432]

@CampKillYourself5432 so is all of yours

[drale2k]

It`s boom bam in your face

[badwolfshamma]

water bottle made me thirsty. nice vid, love macs

[Draftgon]

Should have compared GPU power as it is obvious that Core2Duo is no match to Sandy Bridge CPUs.

[KEVINVILLE34]

he sound chinese or british

[MrJuitman]

@KEVINVILLE34 That's a British Scottish accent.

[MrMasterelemental]

can u plz answer this question? why do same macbook airs have different ENTER buttons in different countries and where?

[MrMasterelemental]

@MrMasterelemental no they don't. you have a problem with your eyes. same UK enters. lol

[muslim4life110]

Where did u get the carbon fiber skin?

[ibloglietuva]

thx, your video saved me 600$ 2 get 2010 model Refurbished is better.

[skinnytoad4]

@ibloglietuva clearly not.

[PixelHex]

I'm so sad that my 2011 MBA doesn't have the same graphic card as 2010 Macbook Airs :(

[anil2]

would the 2010 model be a poor purchase right now? im gunna be running 3ds max, probably in boot camp. is it powerful enough for architectue programs?

[stayinblunted2007]

BACKLIT KEYBOARD FTW

[dayneoram]

This is such a refreshing comparison video :D

I just love the Scottish accent, so this is awesome xD

[TGDragon15]

...I want that jacket....hmmmm

[climbingarizona]

I have the 2010 Macbook Air 11"/4GB RAM/128GB SSD - Two things it has going for it over the 2011 MBA is it has a better GPU (Geforce 320M) and it doesn't have the Thunderbolt port, so you can attach just about any monitor made on the planet. The Thunderbolt as of now has only one display that will work which is $1000. 2010 MBA is a couple of seconds slower but no biggie!

The i5 Sandy Bridge processor has had problems since day one - chances are the 2010 MBA will outlast the 2011 model easily!

[Pandemonium44]

@climbingarizona You know that mini display adapter fits in the thunderbolt port right? That means that you connect every single screen you want, if you just have the adapters for it.

[seroph777]

Love the dwarven accent.

[Bmpiadrum06]

Sex minutes lol

[diondai1]

THEY WERE TWO DIFFERENT IMOVIES!!!

[theunits3]

@diondai1 NO THEY WERENT. SAME IMOVIE, UI WAS ALTERED!!!!!!!

[sugarkang]

Oh good. Craig Ferguson does tech reviews.

[mriloveethanol]

does anyone else love his accent!??

[theunits3]

@mriloveethanol me :D

[CiaranVanDon]

@theunits3 Hi will a macbook air 13" case made for the 2010 model fit the 2011 MBA 13" model or are they different sizes? please help!

[TheDaneTuts]

@CiaranVanDon Apple didn't change the design at all for 2011 model, so on the exterior they're exactly the same.

[CiaranVanDon]

@TheDaneTuts Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

[malows1234]

@theunits3 dude, i need you to find me a macbook air 128 gb 2011 for 1100 dollars. thank you. and i also would like to know if heat is a problem at all.

[ethan43038]

@malows1234 Go to best buy. i just got from therre

[mriloveethanol]

@theunits3 btw thanks for the review.. :D

i got one.. 13 in :)

[dancharp]

@mriloveethanol Yes of cause, have to love these Highlanders !!!

[MrMasterelemental]

@mriloveethanol me :D

[basunfan]

Would love to see 2011 MacBook air vs 2010 in Call of duty

[Schubbe226]

Bum

[EROS3667]

Wtch my video of the new 2011 MacBook air i7 speed test app

[mrjkdeyoung]

Took me a sec to realize your speaking english

[sunnymiu]

thanks for you review but sadly your boom is annoying

[ethanbarro]

For sure next year there will be another faster Macbook Air, =,= it's like same price but why buy now if you'll get better specs and model next uear?. And when next year comes try to wait for another year because it will be better than next year's model. probably by 2013 it's paperthin notebook.

[marandmartins]

how transitions work on HD clips on the new Air?

[pillmusik]

which one of these computers you figure would run pro tools and all it's wave plug ins the best?

[4everPho]

Once you go Mac, you dont go back.

[samuel1abarza]

one, two aaand tree :D

[headshotz2weak]

The first 2 seconds of this vid -

hsdesv. heisvemdismved.

[kallikitty]

Think I'm getting one soon! Definitively Macbook Air 2011 ;D

[deepuluvs2rock]

andd... BOOM! lol... nice videos though! : )

[offlinerockstar]

Love your videos and really helped me make a decision.

Quick question though....

I bought a 2010 MBA and noticed when I used an external monitor it would cause it to have a weird screen flicker or fuzzy lines in the screen at random times. Have you seen this happen with the 2011 MBA?

Thanks again and keep up the amazing work brother.

Doc Dan

[bmw2go11]

@offlinerockstar you most likely got a partially defective gpu

if you got apple care, send it in as fast as you can.

if you didn't, dont even bother sending it for repair...

[ADKIc3mAnX36O]

Do the video again but give both of them battery power cause it was connected and that speeds it up a little according to Apple

[SphexGamingInc]

But has the MBA 2010 a fresh copy of the OS too? With more Apps of course it will start up more slowly

[silntinsnty]

badass accent brotha

[Chillvie]

Sorry, but running one device with its power supply and the other one on battery makes this comparison basically worthless.

[Konfurious]

Gosh, I love your dialect :D

[kiflata96]

Not fair....You're charging the new Macbook but the old one isn't....that's not fair because when it's charging the laptop is faster!!!

[ajanovicedi]

Which SSD you have? Toshiba's one or Samsung's? Check out TLD's latest video and you'll understand what I'm talking about...

[MrJdog628]

OBVIOUSLY THE 2011 ONE IS GOING TO BE FASTER!

[goInsoft]

Please note the first MacBook Air 2010 had a Toshiba SSD and the newer MacBook Air 2010 had a Samsung SSD, so I bet the new MacBook 2011 is using the Samsung SSD that is a touch faster than the first SSD that apple used and may be comparing Samsung v Toshiba, so can you please confirm what SSD these Airs are using.

[theGbak47]

this is simply not 2.5 times as faster. I'm watching on my MBA 11" 2010 thinking that the new 13" will smash the old MBA 13". but as far as the video goes the old MBA is working perfectly fast

[harryhotspur123]

Mack-boook ayer haha

[babtech]

I recall the Macbook Pro was about twice as fast as the old MBA, and the iMac a little faster, when exporting in iMovie. So, if this new MBA is twice as fast as the old one, is it as fast as the Macbook Pro? Close to the iMac perhaps?

[robertlam18]

Not really 2.5x faster

[rickmoz]

got the 11" n its awesome......its the perfect iPad replacement........unless this mythical iPad HD come this xmas......why does apple keep taking my money 😄

[michaeljcoulter]

Could you post some Minecraft gameplay?

[Mathiasw1735]

YO VIDEOOOOOOOO IS ON 9to5mac! ;)

[momoz88]

I would like to see how aperture 3 performs while handling a RAW files on the MBA!

[ChipmunkChannel16]

the 2010 should be faster, its got carbon fiber on it lol

[Vihara2]

silly macs, still using shitty dual cores, why cant you people buy a real pc, or at least a DECENT laptop.

[mrs1986]

@Vihara2 ha ha, you make me lol!!! go buy your DECENT laptop if you think is a lot better, MAYBE you will be happy whit that...

[jerryx2000]

@ConquerorLP jawohl mein Führer 

[Minfatongtong]

I don't deeply know computer stuff, but the new one is connected to the power, does it effect the result?

[Seeeeeoooo]

So basicly it's not worth the update...

[TheLilPhip]

superstition but.... magsafe advantage?

[luddekl]

r u from Scotland ??

[keymanZZ]

very helpful, thumb up

[tEuNh0lYpUrE]

at least its nothing to stress about if you have the macbook air 2010.

[prestigechaser]

Please thumbs up so he can see. PLEASe play some games like left 4 dead or portal or anything else just to see the performance.

[prestigechaser]

Can u please play some games on the new MBA?

[sahatnow]

Your accent makes it sound like 'Jew Core i5' :D

[mike959595]

While it does have a performance increase, you are giving the new one an advantage by having it plugged in and not the other. The CPU, motherboard, & OS, especially on the portable machines, are designed to throttle down the CPU to save energy and heat when unplugged. For example the fan is passive cooling when on battery while active cooling while plugged in.

[GaryLopezBk]

I would like to know if this new setup a good buy for music programs like protools?

[socc3rlos3r]

Is it just me or does the new 2011 look like its more widescreen? I swear the screen dimensions look really different between the 2010 and 2011 based on your video.

[MrQ8center]

i am confused .. which screen size is better 11.6" or 13.3" ?

[theunits3]

@MrQ8center bigger is always better, or so she keeps telling me. :D

[solobackpacking]

@theunits3

Thats funny. They wish it wasn't so big.

Something about not being able to walk the next day.

[flipspeed97]

@MrQ8center 11 in is the best resolution because there's more pixel's but bigger screen is better for more widnows to view more easily

[SL4VE0WNER1904619]

@MrQ8center its all about preference i prefer the 11inch because im in college and i can just carry it in my binder

[Islandgamers]

I'm interested in seeing a Frames Per Second comparison with some benchmark between the Macbook 2011 and 2010. What has been gained or lost with the Intel Graphics card as compared to the Nvidia?

[JRprodz]

@Islandgamers The Nvidia graphics chip IS faster than the intergrated chip in the intel 3000. If you will play some games on it, i recommend you to buy the old model.

Cheers,

[TapTapFreak]

Hey, nice Rewview :D

is there something like a skin you have there for the keyboard part but for the Bezel? i kinda don't like it. i have an MacBook Pro but i want the also the new Air! :D and this Black Bezel looks way better.

sorry for my english, i'm from Germany D:

[Brok3nCarlos]

im looking at a mac of some sort. preferably a macbook. i will be doing music editing/recording with logic or pro tools, school work and general web browsing. what mac out of imac, pro or air do you suggest is best suited to my needs and what do you suggest will last me the longest

[AppleKpop4EverHD]

do some gaming review please! xD thank you!

[ipablo16]

hey Zen, do you notice the graphics difference?

[Sk8ordieknarlysk8er]

When is the review for Mac OS X Lion coming out??!

[YesImInThisVid12]

I just bought a 11inch base model today=]

[theunits3]

@YesImInThisVid12 niceeeee wee beastly machines, hope you like it :D

[TheLozano066]

@YesImInThisVid12

i just bought an 11 inch today as well! i did alot of researching about peoples use and opinion about both, and i have to say the 11.6 was a better choice, i reccomend anyone with this dilema to go for the 11.6 , i have like 20 hours of research on opinions and research

[ongchinhwee]

@YesImInThisVid12 is 2Gb ram enough for you?

[YesImInThisVid12]

@ongchinhwee yerp

[handsome2302]

@YesImInThisVid12 Mine is coming tomorrow. Cant waitttttttttt

[travis284]

You should give your old one to me!

[ParkerBattle]

this video is on 9 to 5 mac!!!!!!!!

[MonteyCarlo92081]

@ReLentlessCh1kn you can't expect things to be a light years faster, when something is already as fast as it is. what else can you do? Be happy that improvements are being made every year.

[wiimiifan2010]

Do u recommend the macbook pro

[donofthekuwait]

it must be hard to move around when all the pockets are full ! lol

[mikethebest6]

That is Awesome, You should compare the new MBA vs new MBP 

[delonholmes92]

@theunits3 9to5mac is using your video for an article about the speed. This video in fact.

[cmpsrr]

Hi.

I'd like to see a geekbench test on both machines, if you don't mind.

And please plug in both computers instead of running them on batteries because I think the performance is affected.

Cheers

[TalesOfWar]

@cmpsrr Performance isn't affected at all by not being plugged in. They get as much juice either way, it's just a finite power source when on battery,

[cmpsrr]

@TalesOfWar

Sorry but I think you're wrong. When running on batteries, performance is affected since the goal is to make the battery last longer. I say that because the temperature drops like 5º or 7º and, when gaming, the games run slower.

[tcottarel]

what was that jacket ad you imported? I'm interested.

[bbd950163]

will having one plugged in and the other not effect the performance? I know when playing games the performance is horrible if you try to run it on the battery

[Shoki232]

Can the HD3000 graphics handle World of Warcraft?

[kiddfroster]

@Shoki232 Yeah, it should be more then fine if you turn some of the settings down.

[kiffboy1]

Thanks for the video! I would like to know how big a difference there is in the graphics between these two models if thats possible?

[kiddfroster]

@kiffboy1 Technically the 320M would be faster, but not by much, and the faster processor in the MacBook Air makes up for the difference.

[henrys130]

CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO SHOWING THE BACKLIT KEYBOARD THANX LOVE THE VIDZ GREETINGS FROM WALES :D

[zacf5643]

I bought the same 2011 model as you :)

[MrSix4seven]

Great comparison!

Are you using this as your main machine or do you still have your iMac?

I'm thinking about getting the 2011 MBA with an external display for my main machine.

[huskysglare1]

benchmark for 13" MBA!!

[kiddfroster]

I wish I had the money to buy one, but I'm kinda happy that I don't, since my current laptop is still perfect for my needs, in terms of performance. Next laptop will so be a Mac though.

[huskysglare1]

I'd just picked up 2. 1 for my sis and 1 for my gf and none for me. =(

[nicolarusso]

the 2011 has the power cord attached. Would that make a difference?

[jayry55]

So can you watch hd videos on it? Would it be worth it to buy hd itunes videos or is sd fine?

[kiddfroster]

@jayry55 You can watch any video your heart desires on it. Personally, I wouldn't buy the HD iTunes videos, because they are more expensive, but if you want the higher quality, go for it.

[MrBob4apples]

Can you play Call of Duty 4 on the new entry level MacBook Air? I just wanted to know because the new MacBook Air uses integrated graphics.

[kiddfroster]

@MrBob4apples The GeForce 320M that was in the previous MacBook Air is also integrated, just to clear that up. You should be able to play it on these MacBook Airs, considering that the current MacBook Pro 13 inch uses the same graphics chip and it can play it fine.

[TalesOfWar]

@kiddfroster The new ones don't use the 320M, they use the shitty Intel HD3000 which is a step back, but that's because Intel are bastards and won't let anybody but Intel make chipsets and so on for their CPU's any more. That's why Apple stuck with the Core 2 Duo's for so long, so they could use non Intel chipsets that had better integrated GPU's, but thanks to Intel's dick move that's no longer the case.

[xXTurdSandwitchXx]

Guess you'll be floggin yous aye gear every video for now on.

[clambaek]

What do you think about the new MBAs (11" included) vs the 2010 MBP? I'd love a video or something about that.  Thanks!

[petefentonp]

Man I want this MacBook. I've never owed one before.

[theunits3]

@ConquerorLP yep this video was edited in Final Cut Pro x.

[RinozerosJanni]

@theunits3 is macbook air 2011 strong enough for final pro x,aperture,logic studio,iwork and xcode?

[TalesOfWar]

@RinozerosJanni It is, but I wouldn't do any serious work on it if you're going to be relying on it. I'd go for the MacBook Pro's or get an iMac or even a Mac Pro for that kind of work if you're going to be using those things at a fairly serious level. It'll be great as a secondary machine when you're on the go though, just don't expect it to be a major work horse especially when it comes to things like rendering. You'll want as much CPU power as you can get there.

[JamesMichaelBillings]

@theunits3 If you want to giveaway your old macbook air ill take it off your hands if you want :)

[ddddrrrrdddd1]

Gaming Plz

[fighterseal4]

hey i always like watching gaming benchmarks can you do some cod4, left 4 dead or maybe some minecraft???

[minameisjake]

HAVE YOU SEEN THAT TLDTODAY VIDEO WERE YOU CAN USE UR IMAC AS A MACBOOK AIR EXTERNAL SCREEN, YOU NEED A THUNDERBOLT CABLE TO JOIN THE 2 TOGETHER THEN USE COMMAND AND F2 ON THE IMAC AND OFF YOU GO

[masterlocke100]

@minameisjake uhm.. ok...

[theunits3]

@minameisjake YES I SEEN THAT. ITS OMGZR AMAZING RIGHT?!

[minameisjake]

@theunits3 oops didnt realise caps was on

[TalesOfWar]

@minameisjake You've been able to use the 27" iMac as a separate display since they introduced it.

[funboy1231]

What do you do with your old computers after you've upgraded?

[LlehctimmitchelL]

@funboy1231 I think he sells them

[ndgreenaway]

@funboy1231 they go in the bin

[theunits3]

@funboy1231 I use them as a door mat to each of my doors, one for the front, one for the kitchen, one for the toilet, one to put my feet on when im sitting on the pan.

[troy2062]

Granted the 2011-model should boot more quickly regardless, boot times can vary from event-to event. An accurate boot test should be the average duration of three timed runs.

[supersmashbrosv2]

OBVIOUSLY THE 2010 MODEL IS SLOWER YOU CHOPPED IT UP WITH A MACHETE!

[kworn100]

hi thats what i have 13 base model great

[1kkraj]

You should of got the i7 it releases the real potential of the new MacBooks but still very nice

[subterracollecter]

i finally getting my parents to get a mac thank god :D

[iTJreviews]

@subterracollecter Congratulations dude :D I got mine to partially switch a few months ago, they go back and forth between Windows and Mac. :/

[salesian101]

7th view

[iLimeMoose]

Would you recommend this for a programmer using XCode?

[darchmaster]

2nd view! I want a macbook air but I do have macbook pro...I guess I am just being greedy!
