  • Watching this on my Air :) I chose it over the Pro, it was the right choice for me :)

  • Wow, that battery should be amazing small.

  • Why would you want this when you can get a pro?

  • Well there is some other differences between the two. 1st there's the hardware and 2nd there's the keyboard. The hardware is just a matter of more and better, while the difference in the keyboard is the size of the F1,2,3,4,5 etc. row and the 11" having no keyboard lit-keys, but having an eject key that the 13" does not. Obviously this eject key is for the component SuperDrive. To those in doubt, I'd go with the Macbook Air. But I myself is waiting for BlueTooth 4.0 and perhaps a cheaper price.

  • Why He don't have disk?

  • Love your videos, subed!

  • iphone in pocket this one in hand; i'm a boss!

  • I'm currently a college student, but I'm confused on buying the 13" air i7 upgrade or the 15" pro? What do you recommend?

    My use is just regular, web, YouTube, google, and small homework projects.

  • @i90cg I think the Air is perfect for you. The pro is for bigger things like music and video editing, gaming, etc

  • @Monster6309 obviously you have never seen a router and yes there is wireless in the computer but you do need to buy a router and connect to your own or somebody else's wifi network

  • I was wondering if the new macbook air has internet installed in the laptop already or would you need to have wi-fi in order to use the internet?

  • This "review" had little to no information. Just a bunch of silly eye-candy shots.

  • +1 Computer

    -1 OS

  • this is good unit! i like it.

    however, i wonder why people hates Mac items ? is it just because expensive or something ?

    in my opinion, i have both systems. PC just for my gaming rigs and Mac for my web development. though iMac can handle bootcamp and play mid-range quality of games.

    1st, i tried BF3 in my BootCamp and yes it can run the mid-range quality of the game.

    2nd, my electricity bills cut through almost 30 - 40% down than my previous bills.

    don't hate me i'm just a tech user :)

  • Excellent review! Provides all the relevant details about this product and its smaller sibling. Short but sweet.

  • AMAZING JOB ON THIS!!!!

  • not a review just you reading us the specs, if i wanted the specs i would have gone to apple's website

  • nnooooooooooonnononononooooooo­ooooooooo disk reader

  • @machomamajr Sadly you are correct :(.

  • @TekBeatTV why not

  • @machomamajr who uses that crap anymore? there are external drives.

  • Comment removed

  • You could buy a MacBook Air SuperDrive

  • @machomamajr here in narnia you get an apple dvd-reader when you buy macbook air ^^

  • great review, subbed

  • @hbiggs96 Thanks man! I appreciate the support and the sub ;).

  • Not a review more of the facts about tech specs

  • @TheMuhammad08 Sorry about that, I had made another video going over benchmarks. What other material would you like to hear in a review?

  • @TekBeatTV  the eggman

  • @TekBeatTV Hey man great vid! i finnaly go this today i got the 13" intel cor i5 128ssd model and i have a few questions. When i have been using it for simple tasks such as facebook as youtube at the same time the battery last an extremly unsualy short amount of time. It aslo gets very hot and the fan goes like mad when i am jsut on facebook or serching the web. is this normal?

  • Will.. I know you mentioned in the insanelygreat mac live show that the video rendering is somewhat slow on the air. How well do you think the 13 mba compares to the 2011 13 mbp for video rendering? I have a 2011 13 mbp currently but if the speed is close i may sell the mbp and go for there mba to save on weight.. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  • @MichaelDee360 Largely the video rendering is dependent on the graphics card and sadly the HD3000 is not that great a performer. The 13 MBP possess the Nvidia graphics which will most likely allow it to have better rendering capability. You will sacrifice some performance on the MBA's from the MBP 13" but it comes down to is it worth it for the lighter weight. Hope this helps!

  • Really good review review Will!

  • @Dugm94 Thanks man! Appreciate the support!

  • Too many pan shots.

    Not really a review either more of a product description. Thumb down

  • @AToutProductions Sorry you feel that way, appreciate the input anyways!

  • Great job bro! Amazing quality, which camera/lens do you use?

  • @technopple Thanks man! I used a T2i, 50 prime lens and 18-55 lens :). Hope this helps and appreciate the continued support!

  • oh wow, youv'e really upped your production value on this video. It now looks like those expensive ones you see Apple or another big company put out. I say keep going this way as it makes you look alot more professional, and another plus is that the camera angles you used as well as lighting and smooth sweeping of the camera really let's us see the products better than just having a black background and you holding it up to the camera and the camera having to focus.

    really nice job man. ^_^

  • @batmanjokergorden That's awesome, really makes me happy that you said that and that you think that highly of it ;). My hopes is that all future videos will take on this form and I can really make my viewers and subscribers happy :). Thanks again and hope I can count on your continued support!

  • Superb review! Best one yet! Short yet to-the-point :)

  • @CalenderJuiceSheena Thanks! Appreciate the kind words and support! :)

  • Sorry to be OCD, but its Mac OS "Ten" not X. Great review though.

  • @zizzleboy88 haha no problem, I'll make sure to note that for the future :).  Really appreciate the input and support!

  • Awesome review. In-depth and short at the same time. Picking one up next week.

  • @DudeFromUkraine Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words, congrats on the new purchase I know you will not regret it. My 11" is sticking with me pretty much wherever I go now haha, although I did have to get the CTO version (had to return my current one) due to the 128 GB storage not being enough :(.

  • I would love to get one of these. If only they had a bigger screen and a better videocard =/ nice review!

  • @fabioadias Haha, yea for me I would love for them to have 8GB as an upgrade possibility and a better graphics option as well (dedicated would be great). Here's to hoping the next generation will! :) Thanks for the support and compliment as well!

  • Been looking into getting one of the new macbook airs and this is so helpful!

    Probably going to go with the basic 13inch

  • @NATGtv Great, glad the video was helpful and enjoy that 13" MBA ;)

  • aweosome job! really indeppth review man!!!!!!!

  • @logicallytechnology Thanks! Appreciate the support and kind words!

  • I love your videos but one thing I really dislike(sorry) is that you don't have any music on your intro maybe its personal preference but it really annoys me.

  • @Nova2Be Thanks man! No problem, I always welcome input. I am looking for sound/theme for the beginning, still working on it but it's taking some time hope you can understand and stick with me :).

  • @TekBeatTV Of course love your videos , so proffessional you deserve more subscribers in honesty

  • @Nova2Be Awesome thanks man! One can only hope maybe sometime in the future :)

  • I meant. It looks like it's the only thing you can upgrade for the 256gb version.

  • @latrysva Yea totally understand, response below (or above depending on how YouTube places my response haha).

  • So tempted to buy one myself. Will it increase the performance significantly if I upgrade from 1,7 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 to 1,8 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7? Looks like it's the only thing you can upgrade too.

  • @latrysva Yea I think the laptop is worth it. With regards to the processor upgrade I would recommend the upgrade only if you plan on doing some heavier computing on the MBA. The performance gains are decent (not huge) mostly due to the turboboost and extra cache of the Core i7. It is not that costly in my mind so I would go for it but if you are watching your budget the core i5 1.7 is good as well :).

  • Slide Slide is sooooo Good! :)

  • @productfeedback haha I love that slide, I think it might be time for an upgrade at some point but it works for my purposes at the moment.

  • nice ipad 2 case......

  • @suved1 haha ;). Incipio Feather!

  • I like this video man! VERY VERY Well done! I just bought a new "old" MacBook Pro

    Got a 15" MacBook Pro 2.53GHz Intel i5

    It's beastly man, Should i review it still?!

  • @ThatTechShow Thanks man! Yea definitely review it, totally worth it. Always people out there looking for reviews on hardware, and usually with every review some little piece of information is mentioned in one while not in another ;).

  • This wasn't really a review

  • @techme1000 Sorry you feel that way, I did mention heat issues, use cases during the video as well as the battery performance. I did leave benchmarks out because I have a separate video for that. Is there particular elements that I should have covered that you would suggest? I am always trying to make my videos better and better and input is always welcome. Thanks again for the support!

  • @TekBeatTV Wow! That was fast :) Thank you!

  • @iPhoneiPadReviews Haha yea I try to respond to people as soon as I can especially between projects :).

  • Very profesional, really enjoyed it

  • @deportessports Thanks, appreciate the support! :) Glad you enjoyed it (whew lol).

  • @TekBeatTV What is the text effect called?

  • @iPhoneiPadReviews Glow if I recall correctly :)

  • @rlstine3 Thanks! Appreciate the support and yea I have been listening! :)

  • I think this is more on just specifications than a proper review.

  • @berniecalo01 Sorry you feel that way, was hoping that this review would incorporate more on usage but in the end it is a combination of both knowing the specifications and elements of usage (heat, battery life, performance (made another vid on that)). Maybe in the future I will roll it up into one but it might be longer and overlap with other videos is the only other issue. Need to try and find that happy medium :). Appreciate the feedback and will continue towards making it better! :)

  • EPIC PANNING!!!!

  • @m75videos Yea it was, I was really happy with the results. Need to do some more post production work in the future with regards to color correction but was not feeling great today and playing around with the finnicky FCPX built in color correction was frustrating me haha.

  • Awesome review Will. I don't like the integrated graphics on the new MacBook air. How come they didn't keep the NVIDIA chip? What's up with Apple allowing Intel to put their crappy GPU? Lol

  • @JSantana319 Yea I believe they went with the integrated graphics due to license agreements and similar performance to the nvidia chipset. Although that is the public answer, my personal opinion is it came down to pricing and they went with the cheaper option. They did a similar thing with the thunderbolt port as it is not a full 4 channel bi directional TB port but only offers 2 bi directional channels and can only support 1 display-port. Hope this helps!

  • @TekBeatTV Damn Will, you do your homework. Way to go kid, lol. Honestly the Intel 3000 doesn't bother me because I don't use heavy intensive applications and I hardly game, but I noticed that Firefox was lagging on YouTube. I don't know if it has to do with the graphics card, but when I had the previous 13 inch Macbook Pro with the NVIDIA 320M it never happened while using Firefox. Very good explanation and it did help :)

  • What program did you use to edit the video

  • @iPhoneiPadReviews Final Cut Pro X :)

  • Great Review Will! 

  • @TechSmartt Thanks! :)

  • Your reviews are getting more and more professional!

  • @hinsonli Thanks I was really trying to take it to a new level for my videos with this one ;). Appreciate the support!

  • Love the panning in this video. Did you use a slider or a tripod?

  • @iTechDude21 Thanks man! :) Some with a slider and some with a 2 way fluid head :).

  • Will.. Heard your feedback on the insanelygreat show last weekend. Great Job! Do you still prefer the 11" mba?

  • @MichaelDee360 Thanks man! :) I actually still prefer the 11" and that is primarily due to the weight difference (0.7 lbs approximately). Since I go to conferences and press events a lot (and usually end up carrying quite a bit of equipment) the weight savings helps (even the little bits). Since the components are essentially identical on the high end it really comes down to weight and resolution. Hope this helps and appreciate the support, makes me happy that I can help!

  • Is 1.7 GHZ fast to the macbook air?

  • @beatstunes Hey, not sure what you mean but the base model is 1.7 Ghz Core i5. It is decent for speed (approximately double the last generation in benchmarks). I would say for general purpose usage the 1.7 will be great, but do not expecting a rendering machine of it :). Hope this helps and if you have any other questions let me know :).

  • @TekBeatTV Ok :)

  • Great review Will!(:

  • @37psfreak Thanks man! :)

  • Nice review!

  • @sarkujapan23 Thanks appreciate the support!

  • OS TEN! X = 10.

  • @stubertphoenix Sorry about that, will adjust in the future! :)

  • Please pronounce the operating system "OS TEN", but besides that, quick and solid review.

  • @TheMightySmifty Will do thanks for the input, and appreciate the compliment as well!

  • 1st comment doesn't matter. 1st like does :D

  • @Pr0Pipe And congrats to you as well! :)

  • 1st!

  • @hadri284 Congrats!
