hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with Tec I like on the MacBook Air 11 inch now know a lot of you guys are friends of Windows however there are a few reasons why I think the MacBook Air is one of the best laptops out there one of the main reasons I like the air is because of the size this thing is super portable especially if you get the 11 inch version which is what I have so I do a lot of traveling for events and stuff and this thing is absolutely perfect so it's small enough that it can fit in a bag I can walk around with it all the time and yeah it's nice and lightweight but it still has the power that I need to actually get work done speaking of for something that's not much bigger than a tablet the air is rocking some pretty decent specs so my model is outfitted with an ivy Ridge core i5 processor 8 gigabytes of RAM along with a 128 gigabyte SSD one of the main reasons I bought the MacBook Air is to do video editing on the go now while it is a bit underpowered for this kind of thing especially when it comes to exporting times with giant 1080p videos for the most part it does just fine even with a high end editor such as final cut or premiere one thing I really like about the air is the build quality and feel now you can say whatever you want about Apple but one thing they always get down is the design this thing is a very premium product and one thing I really appreciate is they pay a lot of attention to the little details so for example the trackpad is fantastic the entire thing is made out of aluminum which feels very nice and sturdy and pretty much the entire laptop just feels nice and premium there's no plastic there's no stickers all over the place there's no creaking now the stuff that you usually have to deal with with Windows laptops of course it's not perfect the 11 inch model typically has pretty good battery life around 4 to 5 hours on a charge however as soon as you start doing any kind of heavy lifting such as gaming or video editing it goes down to more like an hour and a half to two hours the 11 inch screen isn't bad however it does have a fairly low resolution of 1366 by 768 now if you put this side-by-side with an iPad or even a retina MacBook Pro this starts looking pretty rough pretty quick so hopefully the rumors are true and that we will see some retina MacBook Airs before the end of the year the air is running Mac OS 10.8 mountain lion now I'm not going to get into a review of OS 10 in this video however if you've ever tried a Mac you're going to pretty much know what to expect with the air oh it's tuned is very polished operating system and there's lots of nice little features that make it very good for general if OS 10 isn't your thing you also have the option of installing Windows via boot camp now this might seem a little bit of a weird thing to do to a Mac however with the MacBook Air I think it's a totally valid choice the hardware alone is so solid and in fact it's a lot better than most other Windows ultrabooks out there that's actually not a bad idea to take on that book error and run Windows on it but I'm interested to know what do you guys think about the air what do you like and what would you change for the next generation definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below if you're interested more feel free to check out one of my latest videos and if you enjoyed definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe anyway guys I will catch you next time
