what up guys johnathan here was TLD got a comparison review of the 11 and 13 inch core i5 2011 MacBook Airs are very similar in price as well specs and a lot of you guys aren't sure which to pick up so hopefully by the end of this video I'll be able to make your buying decision a little bit easier the 11 inch MacBook Air closes in price and specs to the 13-inch MacBook Air is gonna come in at 1199 you're gonna get a core i5 1.6 gigahertz dual-core CPU four gigs of RAM and 128 gigs of solid-state flash storage now 400 bucks more aside from the obvious size difference before get to in a minute the 13-inch MacBook Air comes with a slightly faster 1.7 gigahertz Core i5 dual core CPU the same 4 gigs of ram at 128 gigs of solid-state flash storage but you get an SD card slot on a 13 inch whereas you don't get that on the 11 inch MacBook Air now they both feature the same backlit keyboard the same until HD 3000 graphics 2 USB 2.0 ports and they both have the high speed Thunderbolt port as far as the dimensions go the 11 inch MacBook Air is gonna size it at eleven point eight inches wide seven point five six inches deep compare that to the 13 inch MacBook Air which is going to size in at twelve point eight inches wide and eight point five four inches deep the 11 inch MacBook Air comes in when a miniscule two point three eight pounds whereas the 13-inch comes in tipping the scale at nearly three pounds at two point nine six pounds now as far as the difference in the screen size the 11 inch MacBook Air features a resolution of 1366 by 768 and the 13-inch MacBook Air features a resolution of 1440 by 900 so actually both high-res and the 13-inch MacBook Air actually features the native resolution of a 15-inch MacBook Pro so food for thought in terms of how much that matters here's an example of Apple's homepage open in Safari so you can see exactly how much extra screen real estate you get and here is Final Cut Pro 10 and that leads me to my next question a lot you guys curious is can these MacBook Airs even handle apps like Final Cut Pro 10 if I told you guys yes most you guys are probably laughing I know really they actually can handle apps like Final Cut Pro 10 that is because of intel's hyper 30 now on paper they're actually both dual-core CPUs but because of Intel hyper-threading the OS will actually see and utilize all four threads almost like a quad core computer so you guys that are hate on the MacBook Airs you guys need to stop looking a little closer at the CPU specs the 13-inch MacBook Air she pulls away a little bit in this category and that is because of Intel's turbo boost the 1.6 gigahertz core i5 CPU on the 11 inch will turbo up to 2.3 gigahertz and the 1.7 gigahertz core i5 on the 13 inch MacBook Air will actually go all the way up to 2.7 gigahertz in certain applications now the next thing you guys are gonna ask me is how much difference does that make as far as benchmarks but you guys know I got you guys covered on that and in Final Cut Pro 10 for a one-minute 1080p h.264 export the 11 inch MacBook Air pumped that out in two minutes and 46 seconds the 13-inch MacBook Air was faster at 2 minutes and 7 seconds for iMovie 11 I took a one-minute 1080p clip converted that to 720p on h.264 export the 11 inch MacBook Air did that in 7 minutes and 52 seconds whereas the 13 inch MacBook Air pumped that out in 5 minutes and 1 second jump it on to the 64-bit version of handbrake what I did was I took a 10 minutes mp4 file and encoded that to an apple tv2 preset on the 11 inch MacBook Air the total encode time was 14 minutes and one second and I got an average of about 17 point zero five frames per second now on the 13-inch MacBook Air the total encode time dropped to 12 minutes in 12 seconds with an average of nineteen point seven one frame per second moving on to Senate by eleven point five on the OpenGL portion I got nine point two seven frames per second on the 11 inch MacBook Air and eleven point one three frames per second on the 13-inch MacBook Air now on the CPU portion the 11 inch MacBook Air scored a one point eight five whereas the 13-inch MacBook Air scored two point zero nine for the Photoshop speed test I used the 11 inch MacBook Air did the deed in seventy two point two seconds and the 13 inch MacBook Air did the same job in sixty eight point seven seconds and lastly on Geekbench 64 I got a benchmark of five thousand twenty eight on the 11 inch MacBook Air and a score of five thousand eight hundred and sixty eight on the 13-inch MacBook Air so hope you guys enjoy this comparison and review ultimately the 13-inch MacBook Air was right for me hopefully it's gonna help you guys decide one more thing to keep in mind is the 11 inch MacBook Air has a 35 watt battery which is going to lead to 5 hours of battery life and the 13-inch MacBook Air has a 50 watt battery so that's gonna give you about 7 hours of battery life so again if you guys have any questions leave me a comment down
