I started using System 6 on my Atari ST’s Macintosh emulator, but my first actual Macintosh was a used Macintosh Portable-I got it for a bargain when the first PowerBooks came out. I was a huge Macintosh fan from the beginning of my computer career. Why? A job in banking made me switch to Windows XP, and later to Windows Vista. That was when I stopped using my Power Mac G3 (Yosemite). #1645: AirPlay iPhone to Mac for remote video, Siri learns to restart iPhones, Apple's Q1 2023 financialsĪs I happily type these notes on a new 11-inch MacBook Air, after installing some Mac OS X applications, I am reminded of the good old days of nine years ago.1646: Security-focused OS updates, Photos Workbench review, Mastodon client wishlist, Apple-related conferences.1647: Focus-caused notification issues, site-specific browser examples, virtualizing Windows on M-series Macs.#1648: iPhone passcode thefts, Center Cam improves webcam eye contact, APFS Uncertainty Principle.#1649: More LastPass breach details and 1Password switch, macOS screen saver problem, tvOS 16.3.3 fixes Siri Remote bug.For the original German review, see here.Īpple introduced fundamental changes at the keynote in March, including the new MacBook and the innovative Force Touch touchpads. The update of the MacBook Air-series, however, was a pretty quiet process. It is just a hardware upgrade that is limited to the processor and the internal graphics solution. We want to use this review to analyze the performance differences and see whether there are consequences for the emissions and the battery runtimes. First of all we start with the noticeable price increase in the Eurozone. Our current review unit represents the base configuration. The price was, however, reduced from $1,000 to $900 in the United States. The hardware upgrades are more expensive as well. Our base model is equipped with 4 GB memory, a new Intel Core i5-5250U with the integrated Intel HD Graphics 6000 as well as 128 GB flash storage. Our review update mainly covers the differences to the previously reviewed MacBook Air 2013, which was tested with the minimum specifications ( Intel Core i5-4250U, 4 GB memory and 128 GB SSD) two years ago.Ĭhoosing a sophisticated 11-inch notebook is becoming more and more difficult. The competition prefers, besides the usual input devices, touch inputs for Ultrabooks and convertibles in this size. Lenovo, for example, offers such a convertible for around 1,370 Euros (~$1543). The Lenovo ThinkPad Helix 2 convinced us with a good display and the good system performance in our review.Īpple uses this update to equip the device with chips based on the Broadwell architecture.
Our configuration of the MacBook Air uses the Intel Core i5-5250U. This processor has two cores and can execute four threads. #Macbook air 11 inch 2011 specs update#.
