  • Lion - GRRRR!

  • its not an ssd, the flash memory is impermanently soldered to the motherboard

  • what is turbo? (cpu)

  • You got confused with 'high-end' and 'entry level'. It's the other way round.

  • sorry, but macbook airs are just terrible.

  • macbook airs dont support turboost or hyperthreading according to the apple "genius" at my local branch, i also see many threads stating this, so im not sure..

  • Comment removed

  • tell me about the airport check one more time..does one left ear ring stand for gayness ?

  • @Flatzout7 One on a right ear means gay.

  • @Flatzout7 ANY earings on a MALE is gay. Earings are for females and females only.

    To the op.....I think you need to learn what "High End" really means.  LOL!!!

  • @Digikid2007

    "High End"..

    lmfao

  • Cool!  I've been wanting to get the 11 inch macbook air and just couldn't decide, thanks your video has helped.

  • i hate that fucking cross!

  • @amarime Wow! Less caffeine, bro. By the way, Satan just texted me and said your express lane is now confirmed. 

  • why cant they just make an 11.6'' with SD card reader on side.. then it'd be perfect..

  • @jayskeeos right, but they also should build a displayresolution 1280x800 in the 11" MBA. i like 16:10... 16:9 is evil :)

  • @jayskeeos Got that right! I still want the 11.6" version, but I want my SD slot!

  • @jayskeeos i have the 11inch macbookair i wish it had a sd card reader

  • We Know EveryThing U Say ... Say SomeThing We Don't Know ... !!

  • Elric? EXPOSED

  • in about 3 minutes you said almost everything, very good quick review

  • i have a question...idk if i should get the 11 inch or just get a macbook pro...which one should i get?? please help!!

  • Awesome video! I subbed!! :D

  • When going through airport security, ALL laptops regardless how thin and small they are need to come out of their bags for X-Ray screening. The 11inch MacBook Air is no exception.

  • I really wish people would stop bitching about Pc's and Macs. Let people have their own opinions and let them get the computer they want for the reasons they have. Bob can have his pc for gaming, and business, etc. And Jeff can have his Mac for video/photo editing, simplicity, etc. Problem solved.

  • macs will always be a rip off, they are over priced only made to look pretty and used for video/photo editing that's it.

  • @MrFunkyUgly use one for a few weeks; you'll never look back.

  • @SimHarrison my gf has 1, i hate it. slow locks up, all around bad, so i know what they have in them and i know what they can do, iv used mac as a kid growing up, its all i used til i got my first windows comp, and never looked back, then i switched to linux even better move

  • thanks a lot.

    nice comparisons.

  • So which is better ?

  • I just wanted to know how thin it was

  • no HDMI?

  • @andrewcobra2000 Negative. Just thunderbolt...I know man it sucks.

  • I like your growl when u said lion

  • so why the 11" model does not required to be removed in airport ? and is the 13" required to be removed in the airport & why ?

  • little 11 inch? i wish i had 11 inches..

  • i think the 11" looks cooler

  • @Geforce6150se

    And your beefy laptop setup will be eaten by a desktop of the same price. About the same difference in mobility between them too.

    Can I put your laptop into my bag when I cycle 30 min in the morning to lectures? (well I probably can but I will surely get some kind of arm injury) Macbook Air is designed for the sole purpose of mobility.

    So stop comparing Oranges to Apples.

  • The stupid in here is overwhelming, GO PC AND MAC!!

  • what's with the GIANT WINK about 3:16min

  • The only thing worth it for Macs is the OSX... Apple is trying to justify the price by monopolizing on their own OS.

    I mean like really. If apple started selling OSX for PC users, I'm pretty sure majority of people would stop buying Macs.

  • it starts at $1000... sorry that too much for an ok mac

  • Apple are useless... Steve job even hired Bill Gate to write some OS =P

  • @subongkosh Jealous much?

  • "friends over at apple" friends dont beat you over the head

  • How do you enable Turbo?

  • Guys, don't hate on it. I am a very passionate PC user, builder and gamer, but even I cannot deny that the new MacBook Air represents exceptional quality at a reasonable price (the latter being rare for Apple). And guess what, I bought one, my first Mac. And I must say I'm loving it.

  • @PSPRYANPSP probably the worst mac price/performance wise...but i guess price/portability wise it might be up there

  • @PSPRYANPSP Reasonable price? They start at $1000 with a Core i5 at 1.6GHz. This also has integrated Intel graphics running an 11" screen. I can easily find 20 Windows laptops at a better price with those specifications.

  • @calculatorboyqwe In that form factor? I thought not.

  • @PSPRYANPSP Yes, actually.

  • @calculatorboyqwe

    The "ultrabooks" (which are simply MBA clones) coming out later this year from PC vendors are actually looking like they'll cost a bit more than an equally spec'd MBA.

    I got a good deal from a local store, I wanted something thin and portable, and I wanted a cheap way to familiarise myself with OS X. This ticked all the boxes.

  • @calculatorboyqwe but with the same form factor? nope.

  • @PSPRYANPSP <---- finally, someone who doesn't bash the Mac in 3 seconds.

  • @PSPRYANPSP How you liking your Mac.? I am thinking of the 11.6 Mac Air at Ecost (dot) com for 899.00 ($400 off)

  • Nice wink at 3:18 Cheaper, suuuure. =p

  • @JonnyBrovo2 lol just go look at some of the ultra thin pcs, like the one from samsung, then comment on price. you pay more for the samsung and get less.

  • looks like from the 90's

  • PC for me gaming needs. MAC for me social networking needs. I love both of these platforms.

  • Why is everyone hating on Apple? I use PC but I still have to say that mAcs arent that bad. They are very userfriendly , better than any other OS, but every OS has its advantages and disadvantages. Agrre with that !

  • i7 3.2 ghz turbo boost

    8 gb DDR 3 memory

    Geforce 540 directx 11 Graphic card 17 inch full HD screen

    740 gb hdd and blu-ray burner

    MSI laptop on newegg and itch chipper then thoes you have here

    you know what you can do with them right....

  • @Geforce6150se haha your stupid, this is ultraportable computer, for people that doesnt sit home with their laptop all the time, why the hell would you want a 17" as a portable.

    fucking dumbass

  • @Geforce6150se how portable is it? how long is the battery? how i the technology compared to the rest of the market? Macs are still great machines, they are basically just a PC with OSX on them. Sure a few differences here and there but I am sure if someone put the guts of one of these in an ASUS laptop and loaded windows on it, you could not tell.

  • @Geforce6150se oh and SSd's are still pricey, I only see a HDD in yours.

  • @Geforce6150se how lovely. I have a 17" gaming laptop as well... as well as a 11" macbook air for portability. What was your point again?

  • @Sechari you use 11 inch for portability? you must be a small person

  • @Geforce6150se I'm a girl with a handbag full of girly stuff and I fly up to several times a month. So yeah, my back will thank me for whatever weight I can knock off my laptop. The macbook air certainly isn't for everyone, but at the same time - a gaming laptop isn't either (can you picture your mum needing one? - nothing against your mum!). Just get whatever is best suited for you and let the others get what's best for them.

  • @Sechari it still doesnt change that you can buy 2x faster 11 inch pc notebook for 50% less money

  • @Geforce6150se really...! Show me an ultraportable with an SSD that's twice as fast as the macbook air for 500$ please! (some sort of metal incasing would be nice since I Do need it sturdy, but I'll settle for carbon fibre if you can't do aluminium)

  • @Geforce6150se Is that laptop heavy? Also, what's the battery life?

  • @Geforce6150se Thats for a gamer....you wanna list the weight of that to? Instant on? Nope. Gestures? Nope? Viruses? Yep. Two completely different crowds. Your probably the same guy who talks about the different ask 's what came first the chicken or the egg. Completely different products, not even close to similiar.

  • @Geforce6150se battery life?

  • @Geforce6150se also, that MSI hasnt ssd

  • @Geforce6150se  Watch porn ?

  • @Geforce6150se

    Yep, leaving it at home because of 3kg wheight.

  • Very pretty. But I've heard that the 11" only realistically lasts about 2.5 hours of average use (web browsing etc). Pretty limiting! Other than that and the price, I like these laptops - even though I despise Apple ;)

  • Unsubbed. and yeah "block and ban" me I don't give a shit.

  • APPLE IS NOT MY FRIENDS!

  • What's with the cross??

  • Intel H3000 eieiecksssss

    5670 1gb(2 years ago)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>H3000

  • I bought my grandma a brand new Laptop PC for $850. It had a 17" screen, a Core i7, 6Gbs RAM and a 750Gb HDD. Beat that Mac.

  • @kevinsdb1 I agree

  • I liked this just because i'm not a fanboy. And yes, I game on windows, that doesn't mean I should hate on macs, windows and macs are meant for different things

  • i only liked this because of elric cuz i hate apple products intel and apple rip you off

  • @cojeapetru

    Intel rapes AMD in every benchmark on planet earth.....But I agree, macs are overpriced.

  • @TheIrredeemable

    He never even mentioned AMD as his company of choice. Maybe he favours ARM? Unlikely but Intel doesn't "rape" AMD in every benchmark. My AMD 1090T scores almost a full 2 points more than then the i7 960 and 860 on CineBench.

    Of course the best is the Intel Xeon with its God like performance =O

    Seemed a little fanboy like of you, same with the above hating ony Appel and Intel. I will agree that Apple are not the best value + Intel do produce higher-end CPU than AMD =)

  • @TheIrredeemable i agree intel is better

    but for a 10 to 15 % more performance intels are overpriced

    intel hexacore is like 1000$ or so and an amd hexacore is around 300-400$ and it can do the job almost the same (u just wait a few more seconds big deal)

  • @cojeapetru

    Indeed, AMD Hexs' are far more reasonable in their pricing. Hell, I personally run a 1100T in my AMD build. However, even a stock Intel 920 out performs a AMD hex in every single benchmark. Also, the latest non-extreme Intel hex price drop puts them more around the 500USD-600USD area.

    Its all about the CPU's architecture, Intel has a much more advanced design than AMD chips do.

    Who needs a hex-core that is out matched by a lower end, last gen stock quad?

  • @cojeapetru amd hexacore is only 150ish lol not 300-400

  • @Luger718A1 that's how much it is in my country at least

  • Comment removed

  • I really need a new small laptop for school. They are a bit too expensive though and i can't decide between the Air and Pro :/

  • Would this be a good computer for college? With an major in computer science? And if so 11in or 13in?

  • @techboss202 13 inch Macbook Pro :) It's $100 cheaper than the based line Macbook Air.You get a cd/dvd drive, Facetime HD, same 2 USB ports, SD card slot. It's heavier to carry, but it's still portable to carry everywhere you go.

  • @JSantana319 true but u loss the ssd, FaceTime HD is coming probably in the next update, its thinness does make a difference when itt comes to college with having books and all! CD/DVD i barely ever use my dvd drive and if i need it i have an external drive

  • @techboss202 That's true, but you can still get a built to order with 128GB of SSD, but it's too pricey. Since you don't use CD/DVDs that much, then the Air it's superb. I was contemplating on getting a Macbook Air, but I'm very happy with my core i5 13 inch Macbook Pro.

  • @JSantana319 Yeah, my personal opinion is that the Air is taking over and is catching up to the speeds of the 15in macbook pro

  • bad idea to put a mac reiew here xD

  • Im decing whether this or the macbook pro.

  • For some reason I have a craving for some cinnabuns and a cup of cafe latte.

  • PC > Mac

  • Find a pc that is as thin, light and tough for the same price. $999 is not that expensive for what you get.

  • Thought you had a upside down cross on i was gonna like now ill dislike

  • apple are not my friends >.< until they release their OS for the mass market for custom builds.

  • Looks like lots of your subscribers are mac haters.

  • apple sucks!!!!!

  • MAC FTW never had a problem with them install linux ubuntu or mint and windows 7 on my Mac pro has never broke down i got a new alienware Aurora 2 weeks ago back to vender for new mobo even my XPS 720h2c has lasted longer than that but Mac very reliable poeple how say apple are crap are those how dont now anything about PC or copying other people cause the dont have a mind of there own try apple PC before u try to slate them also great vid Tech of tomorrow

  • @iphonepunker

    thats the longest sentence ever...

  • @TMNoob3

    sorry forgot to take a breath lol

  • @iphonepunker

    "people how say apple are crap at those who dont know anything about PC"

    Comes from an obvious Apple fanboy.

    Apple is EXPENSIVE and you ONLY PAY FOR THE NAME not whats inside.. for the price those laptops are in I can buy a much more powerful laptop that will handle any game out there atm.

  • @DeathM3TaL

    i am self confest apple fanboy but iv built PCs Iv owned toshiba laptops and XPS desktops right now im waiting for my aleinware to come back maybe it well work this time but im saying from my own experince in PCs apply is better its more reliable and better system and i ejoy using it. also apple where the first to bring out touch screen phone they lead the rest follow and under cut (price wise) plese dont tell me what i now is true is that apple is better

  • @iphonepunker

    Apple IS NOT BETTER.

    Toshiba, Dell XPS and Dell Alienware are all garbage companies.. built PCs only Asus and Laptops Asus is the leader in laptops (Asus is 1 of the 2 best motherboard manufacturers out there, the other one is EVGA), it does not matter what apple invented or started bottom line is they are WAY overpriced you pay for the name not the hardware

  • @DeathM3TaL right i dont give a shit i can aford it ill buy a Mac quciker cause i can and it looks better price not an option and also iv 1 EVGA 560 TI in my MAC pro so shoot me

  • @iphonepunker

    You're throwing away money in the air with the money you waste on MACs you can buy a PC that will beat your MAC in anyway possible.. second thing there's a reason why macs dont have viruses - No one is using them.

  • @DeathM3TaL

    are u a bit slow Mac sells more than ever now and is closely overtaking micosoft and dont dictate to me what i do with my money but wait maybe i should go back to the years of blue screens and driver errors and crashing for no resion that a great idea ill keep that in mind thanks also use windows 7 and linux hate to tell you this but they ran better on the Mac than on the PC so piss off i now what what i like

  • @iphonepunker

    Ok apple fanboy, obviously theres no reason to even try to argue with you because your stuck with your nose inside a apples ass. i dont dictate anyone what to do i am telling you for the money you pay for a mac you can build a much more powerful pc.

  • @iphonepunker

    and also if apple is overtaking microsoft how does it explain the fact that hackers dont even take time to develop viruses for Macs?

  • @iphonepunker

    And by the way you write you sound like a 15 year old that uses his parent's money to buy his favorite apple products.

  • @iphonepunker

    I had an iphone and IT IS GARBAGE, everything has to go through Itunes and thats one of the reasons why I hate apple - NO FREEDOM.

  • A great breakthrough with apple. Great :)

  • Comment removed

  • Laptops suck, desktops ftw!

  • stop disliking just because its a mac support the youtube channel .

  • Why does any video from reviewers over Apple products receive all this hate.

    I'm not a fanboy on either "side", but I still have to hand it to Apple that their products are great.

  • But will it blend ?

  • Just get a WIndows PC. Better Batterylife and better specs

  • 1st viewer?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

  • There was in the news that custom officer didn't believe macbook air is a computer, it was too thin to have hdd... usa customs ftw.

  • i just got to watch this.. it only got 2 views... LOL

  • Did I hear that right 1199 for the small one, that's just crazy. I have to hand it to apple, they get people to overpay for things because it looks cool/pretty.

  • 2:05 Haha Grrr

  • Oh ma fcukin g0d, a mac, i r d1sl1k3" Grow up, seriously, it's a channel devoted to "tech" not just PC's.

    I'm a PC user.

  • "Our friends over a apple"?

    They are the enemy!

  • @TheIrredeemable Maybe to a baby like you with the maturity level of a ten year old, To me its just electronics!!! No Enemy!!!

  • @motherboardsorg

    You mean to a brainless tool like yourself?

    Mac is to computers, what Starbucks is to coffee......Trendy overpriced garbage that can be done better for much less.

  • elric is going to the white side noo :p

  • this is good for my grandma :)

  • ShitBook with intel graphic that cant eaven run quake 3 with no lags

  • @club4ghz This isn't meant for gaming, it's meant for portability, not performance. ShitHead YouTuber who can't even post a comment with any valid logic = you.

  • @Robobobo717 its still a shitty computer you can have 2 eaven better pc laptops for its price shithead

  • @club4ghz It isn't meant for performance I said, it's meant for portability, dumbass. And learn to use 1st grade grammar before heading out to YouTube and dealing with people who have the IQ ABOVE that of a rock. Apple makes great products, yeah they're overpriced, but the products are still fantastic.

  • @Robobobo717 its fucking shit not fantastic and gtfo of my gramar unless you want try to talk in my language mr fucking smartass for price of this crap i can have i7 3.2 ghz laptop with 8 gb ram gtx 500 dx11 gpu 1080p screen and blue ray recorder

  • @club4ghz You're language is Idiot, there's no need to talk like that, and I don't give a damn about your computer, this is about an Apple computer, it isn't meant to be compared. The laptop itself is great for the price and offers more performance for less than it's Samsung counterpart. I don't have one I have a gaming rig I built but there's no need to be so blunt and stupid about it. One YouTuber who can't use basic grammar isn't going to convince me against dozens of professional reviews.

  • @Robobobo717 then go and pay 1k+ for this shit fucktard (but checkout first MSP laptops for 1k) and stop bitchin about my grammar im not fucking american you prick

  • @club4ghz -(MSI)-

  • @club4ghz It's called an internet translator idiot, use one. I don't need portability, this isn't for me. You're comparing high end gaming rigs to portable Mac light laptops. It's like comparing peanut butter to a cat and saying the cat wins because it's smarter. There's no logic involved. Obviously you don't need portability because you never leave your mother's basement.

  • @Robobobo717 i dont compare high end gaming rigs! to portable Mac laptops i talk about portable PC LAPTOP! vs this shitbook NOT DESKTOP! why you so fucking slow get a redbull ore somethink

  • @club4ghz You compared it to high end gaming PC's, I never said desktops. If anything you're the slow one. Gaming laptops are not portable and have very low battery life. They aren't meant to be compared against Air laptops.

  • People keep hatin'. Love when people states that Apple tec sucks but they've never owned one themselves.

  • Thumbs down means that people have so much hate for Apple and just don't get it... They are Pc's too! Great build quality, awesome hi-res screens, good apps for video editing, music,photos, you name it. Anyways sweet video guys and thumbs UP!

  • Bullshit.

    For the worst macbook you can get an epic Asus laptop

    Intel HD3000? blow me

    got nothing againt apple but against the ego of the owners.

    implying their dumb i3 mac worth 2000 euro can beat my 980x

  • @kubifan Why are you being so biased about it ? You're not paying for the hardware only. Yes you can buy your freaking I7 980x etc. What about the design, elegance, simplicity, better UI / GUI, efficiency of the OS,stability and so on ?

  • @bigdima3 Fuck off what OS Stability.

    Wha elegancE?

    Stable os when some random hacker hacks into the batteries microchip and make them blow up

    ?

  • @kubifan I dont like the language, do you want to get banned???

  • @motherboardsorg No sir.

    Sorry.

  • @kubifan You're looking at one MAC OS hacking attack whist forgetting that 99% of the computer viruses are designed for Microsoft. ..

    I dont have a Mac but i know so much about them even thoughI have a custom LGA1366 PC.

  • @bigdima3 Believe me mac is also getting bigger.

    More and more people are trying to create viruses and hack mac osx

  • @kubifan

    Indeed, in this months Maximum PC they reported a Malware program infecting thousands of Macs.

  • @kubifan Sounds logical but Macs are based on pure Unix so it is going to be a challange . .

  • @bigdima3 Who said Unix can't be hacked??

    Just wait.

    The battery chip protectiion in your o so beloved Unix failed.

  • @kubifan I didnt say it cant be hacked.

    Jesus, why am i talking to this kid. Wait, you're 23. . .

    

  • "This segment of the market" is the Mac market... If you would compare it with normal laptops, the normal laptops would win the price battle. But of course, that's a whole other market, for the non Mac user.

  • Shitstorm in 3..2..1...
