MacBook Air 11" Review (2011)

[vaggg96]

have you already boosted the air up to 2.3 ghz. ? and if so..please make a review of that! (:

[rickyjr101]

i think im going with the 13" cause it has atleast an sd card slot where i can transfer stuff since it doesnt have a cd/dvd drive so thanx for the help u really help me decide :)

[BOYINGTON19909]

No card slot on the 11" though :(

[TheMotherRick]

Every single 11" laptop from an Asus Eee to my M11x has a 1366x768 screen. Not a knock against the air, but the screen isn't anything special like you were implying it was. It's pretty much the absolute minimum resolution for a laptop, except for a few 10" netbooks that have 1024x600.

[CrashKreey]

Your video really helped me decide. I'm going with the 13 inch :)

[amaaaaaaad]

After watching so many laptop reviews, I decided just to buy a potato.

[RoKinMindZ]

Great video bro!

[trainman665]

Not as good as my 12 year old Dell Latitude Cpx.

[nazarijus1995]

mi ordenadoor :D

[dirtyblood99]

Can you one on a MacBook pro?

[nightfire4107]

Great thorough review! Helped a lot

Thanks

[umlarmy]

holy fuck! 03:55 ... THAT'S MY LAPTOP!!

[Techdude212]

And also the prettiest and sexiest!!

[Techdude212]

Best computer ever!

[XxAimeeBaybiixX]

Do you think the 4GB RAM, 128GB hardrive would be ok for alot of coursework, surfing internet and basic photo editing?

[duncan33303]

@XxAimeeBaybiixX Yep, it'll handle that no problem.

[umlarmy]

@XxAimeeBaybiixX maybe intended to lightweight task..

[jeffchadrick]

How do you think it would handle Adobe cs5

[Ammarakbarali]

But he said It would be great for a secondary machine . I want the pro its better

[Chill2094]

holy fuck, dont end yur sentences that way

[SuperFlyingfreak]

Not heavy gaming btw

[MyTimeStudio]

@SuperFlyingfreak Yep, all depends on the games you want to play. Minecraft will work OK.

Artur.

[SuperFlyingfreak]

Would 2 gb ram still be good for gaming

[roymusic14]

great presentation and coverage

[ULAZYCOOK]

I really like how you presented this review. A+

[applefan400100]

cool... cas im an apl fan

[applefan400100]

im getting one for my b-day exited

[ReDw0lf07]

I have a question. I need a notebook. I have chosen the air. But I already have an iMac w/ thunderbolt. So if i need more display I connect air to my iMac. So the 11" modelis enough or should I go with the 13" model?

Thanks!

Great review!!!!

[rave4everyday]

I AM awesome. Here's your thumbs up.

[zsdlkja]

i just got my air today and i am loving it :)

\

[shadow479]

@zsdlkja oh my God, please give it to me. lol Im joking, youre so lucky =D Id love to have one.  enjoy it x)

[yomuyat]

can it play crisis 2?



[WallEandEveRock]

do you think the model with 2GBs or RAM and the 1.6GHz i5 prossecer can handle uploading 720p video to youutbe?

[duncan33303]

@WallEandEveRock Any computer can upload video, sure. As far as editing it can probably handle it although it probably won't be great with only 2GB of RAM. I would really recommend getting the model with 4GB of RAM and the 120GB SSD.

[WallEandEveRock]

@duncan33303 i wont be editing so do you think it would be fine?

[duncan33303]

@WallEandEveRock Sure if you're doing very minor things it will be okay.

[denny24ko]

@duncan33303 hi i am a 14 year old new to youtube and i was good for me to edit videos with imovie

[zac0964]

HEY GUIZ.

[Thegooob95]

I WANT EVERY SINGLE MAC OUT THERE AHHHHHHHH I MUST HAVE ALL OF THEM

[Mineshack]

STOP DOING THAT WITH YOUR VOICE AT THE END OF A SENTENCE.

[SuperLeafsfan34]

there is no CD port what if you want to put one of your favourite CD's on itunes, but you can't so you would just have to pay another $10 dollars

[cacilndaa123]

Thats the best review i've ever seen. The video was perfectly edited, and u were objecitve !

Nice man

[vietn207]

Good work! All the info I was looking for.

[toohod81]

Well done, checked out a lot of reviews..applause!



[itzNICH0LAS]

@radtwelve So am I! I almost have all my money together! I'll gove you a hint, go to best buy to save alooot of moneu the air!

[naaibaar]

you're talking about a battery life of 4-5 hours, but the osx is telling you that you have over 6 hours left..

[lexlazootin]

Holy fuck, that zoom blur to the keyboard looked hell sweet. 2:29

[duncan33303]

@lexlazootin Thanks! :)

[Metallica2131]

Wish I could afford it.

[99048696]

@rulebbc2 If you're more into appearance then get the Air. If you're more into speed and functions, get the Pro

[stewardlie]

OMG This is one of the best Macbook air review. I have been watching reviews for the air and found that this is the best review. And man I was shocked to see your face, so young. Sounded much older. LOL

[rulebbc2]

Which is better air or pro

[kissmyass007]

good review my man!

[54321thedeathbed]

Best review I've seen.

[CHANELdeANDREW]

Nice review. Thank-you

[lilehful]

Great review. I still plan on getting the MacBook Pro 15" though :P

[radtwelve]

I'm saving up for this Macbook :D

Great review!

[MrEtNkT]

dude that review was amazing :O!!!!

[young2theb]

After watching this video, you have me wanting to buy a macbook air all because of the way you review this product. I however need a iMac i already have a macbook pro so I just need a desktop. Good Review!

[d314j4]

thanks for the review. i got my wife a mac air this afternoon for christmas! i was embarassed to say to the apple member of staff showing me the models, that to be honet i only got the 11 inch mac air 'cus it just looks so damn nice'.... I know, I know I'm a sucker for the looks!

[Navy13100]

@ duncan33303

Im about to buy Mac Air this thursday. What are the pros and cons? Is it true Apple rarely gets a viruse and whats the best anti-virus for Mac Air ?

[ZaeemNsr]

Great video! 

[eastereggster]

You have the most amazing camera ever.

[StephenaGoodwin9]

Austin what gae is that at 1:08 ?

[zzxxccvvbbnnmmist]

Amazing review!!

You probably just covered every basic feature this thing has, and made following along be very easy and fun for someone like me who knows a little about the inter-workings of a computer, but not a lot.

Thanks!

[fookkong]

thanks for the awesome review.

[maikal22]

Thanks for the info. I think I'm sold after seeing your review.

[ThreeGuysTechReviews]

What font do you use, Austin?

[iCouldAppThat]

@duncan33303

This review is so awesome and well flowing. You always do a good job with your videos, and i find myself taking tips from yours, appchats, and tldtoday's videos for ways to make my reviews and videos more professional. Thanks again!

[jwbjnwolf]

...Don't you wish your pc was not crashing like me!!

[jwbjnwolf]

Don't you wish your laptop was hot like me!! Don't you wish your netbook was powerful like me!! Don't you wish your pc was a Mac like me!! Don't you wish your pc was aluminum like me!!

[jwbjnwolf]

Brilliant review. I want to earn up to also have a MacBook air so I can do video editing on the go when I am not by my iMac 27".

I would LOVE to take my iMac with me, but that would be crazy, and silly if I did as you have to be very muscly to take hold it for more than a few seconds.

At the moment I am using my acer one 11.6" to take to college with me instead of using those damn pcs there as they have win7 pro on 1gb ram and lots of software that I wouldn't use and not enough of what I wan

[duncan33303]

@jwbjnwolf I don't know about other people but I would applaud if I saw someone using carrying a 27" iMac with them.

[cj061]

Mine, I have a MSI U130 Netbook/Notebook

Here is the Specification:

250 GB of Hard Drive

1 GB DDR2 Memory

1024 x 600 Screen Resolution

10 inch of LED Display

Intel Atom N450

1.66 GHZ

[ElsebbeG]

Me gusta tu channel mucho :)

Great vid, Very pro :)

after watching this vid made me really wanna get the air, sadly i have a macbook pro 15 and that was expensive, so no air for me :(

about the battery, i think u get more hours for light usage. (obviously depends what u mean by "light use". Just surfing u should be able to get 5-6 hours.

[braguldo666]

Now im convinced to get a macbook air, thanks for thiis video :)

[EdwardTheTechGeek]

Macbook Air sucks!

[mattdementous]

Your video editing skills + your camera skills have improved so much! I'm super impressed.

[bystander234]

we have the same PC! go gateway laptops... however the mac looks amazing and i want it

[sniperscopd50]

1:18 a laptop thinnathina iphone. Lol he ran out of breath

[supernovax]

For 1k i would get a better laptop.

[roalbabe]

Your review was very good, keep up the work. Thanks for the reviews

[kakashi02saidHOTKOF1]

hey Austin a cool relaxing background music would be great in reviews like this

[kakashi02saidHOTKOF1]

great review

[Laxbro37]

Rich fuck!

[onlivegamer]

What a pos. $999 is way to much for something that weak with terrible battery life.

[Karnage420111]

un-der-powered *clap**clap**clap**clap**clap*­un-der-powered*clap**clap**cla­p**clap**clap*

[appleAddict240872]

@Karnage420111 so? it doesn't mean it's a bad computer.

[vjellu]

@Karnage420111 QFT :D

[MastaEddo]

good review, very nice filming :P

[chazzarr2011]

Great review :D I love the air..... Regret getting the iMac :(

[techfreak47]

xD !! I don't think that 3 or 4 hours of battery is good !!!

[0Appic]

3:00 your ugly as fuck!!!

[thehostler0]

4,5 hours is not impressive at all. My 15,6" i7 2630QM, GT555, 6gb does 4 hours.

[AppChat]

Great review Austin :)

[durtX43]

Hey Austin, are you rich? Cause I'm just wondering how you can afford these amazing stuff.

[TechGuy893]

I'm also awesome...

[MrPrezi2]

LOL If you want to be AWSOME Favorited :D

[MrPrezi2]

1:50-1:55 Tah that's incrediable!

[Jshulman1995]

great video editing. Looks nicer then matts macintosh's videos.

[Jeanejean]

Are you going to do the web browers test soon on a Mac?

[MJBennett73]

Apple could have easily added a SD card to the Air. Oh course then you might realize how cheap a 128 gig SD card is compared with what you are paying for Apple's insanely overpriced product. Yeah you could use an external USB HD, but that kind of defeats the purpose of an ultra portable right?

[aumkar2]

Nice

[guyaneseDJ13]

Nice review but you're really late on this!

& also it hurts my eyes to see this going in and out of focus, i hate that!

[brantmoore13]

Hey, where do i find how to make the dual core read as quad core? and boost clocked speed?

[brantmoore13]

@brantmoore13 just kidding..my computer isn't capable of hyper threading.

is boosting performance possible at all on an intel core2 duo?

[ArcenP]

the way you end your sentences are annoying.

[V3RM1LI0N]

Damn this is Duncan3.1

Best review on youtube

Keep it up bro awesome job

[mdog333333]

O lie this was your best video you have put up and I have been subscribed for 2 years now

[collintheapplegeek]

Nice video!

[collintheapplegeek]

Low-voltage i5 doesn't mean that it won't use a lot of power. That power consumption would be measured by watts or amps/milli-amps.

[iOSRider4983]

how bout if in hard batter usage your playing a game and then your charging does your Air crashes the battery?

[iOSRider4983]

the same as my father but Asus

[TheCBGamer]

Macbook air 13in or Macbook pro 13in?

[sccerstr09]

Finally a review of a computer that doesn't just focus on the software! Great review!

[paulalger11]

stop making your sentences into questions! you're not australian

[TheDialga03]

Is he speaking English? I didn't get anything O_O

[Luddeeeeeeeeee]

Greta review!

[ForceUnleashed83]

the mac air is not something I have ever gone for because of not having a cd drive but who really uses cds any more any way? I think even the mbp wont have a cd drive in the next few years

[Nielsapplefreak]

@duncan33303 whats the name of the game you where playing? (@ 1:08)

[IVIrShmeh]

do you have the new macbook pro 13" 2.8ghz, if so please do another one of these classic reviews on it

[ramdani35]

Great video and Informative review Duncan33303. Much props on your video editing. It is getting more creative and flows great, keep up the good work.

[Live4TheGame1]

Want ._. I am sick of my 2005 laptop D;

[TheCoasterEnthusiast]

[jaychou1994]

Really great review, concise, simple and informative.

[SteveTheMovieTheGame]

Triangle head!

[LGN12tv]

@duncan33303 I love that camera swish with blur at around 2:30 #videogeek

[pat20105]

I spend 500 pounds less for a better laptop. It has the same battery life and better cpu

[VoguishArts]

Don't get this, if you do, you're beyond stupid.

[PokeDot517]

Awesome Review!

[muh1h1]

4.5h is impressive for an 11inch laptop? no, 11h is impressive, like some 11" laptops do...

[pnetwork12]

@muh1h1 if you are talking about the Acer, forget about it. It can't handle battery for more than 5 hours.

[thejbgc]

@muh1h1 There is no 11" Laptop as thin as the MBA that can put out 11 hours worth of battery power.... yet.

[roki92]

@muh1h1 yeah... when they´re to sleep....

[macprorocks]

@muh1h1 Yes, but this one does not have a huge battery sticking out of it.

[lidiarivera1]

I really want a macpro or macair but they are too expensive. Why!!!!!! :((:(( i cant afford it neither can my parents..! I love apple products but never can have them.!
