Reviews for the Apple MacBook Air 13 inch 2013 MD760D/A

87% Review Apple MacBook Air 13 Mid 2013 MD760D/A Subnotebook | Notebookcheck
Battery Life Extensions. Traditionally, Apple products have long product cycles and are only upgraded conservatively here and there. Thus, it does not come as a surprise that the MacBook Air 13 is the spitting image of its predecessor. In the following review, we will take a close look at what has changed on the inside.

The updates to the 11-inch MacBook Air provide a very compelling reason for many to consider looking at an extremely portable laptop over a limited tablet system. The new processor provides it with battery life on par with many tablets. The upgraded storage also makes it a compelling option against the larger 13-inch. The big problem that plagues the Apple MacBook Air's is their dated screens.

This update sees the MacBook Air in world-beating form. Die-hard Windows users may prefer one of the many fine Ultrabooks or hybrids on the market – Windows 8 remains at its best with a touchscreen – but if style, speed and stamina matter more to you, the MacBook Air ticks every box.

100% Macbook Air review (13in 2013 model)
Source: V3.co.uk English Archive.org version
Despite connectivity limitations, the design and raw power make the MacBook Air a worthwhile purchase for Apple users or those looking for a change from the Windows platform. You can run any applications you'll need for business use, including Microsoft Office, and the trackpad and Mac OS X make the Air a pleasure to use. The good news for first-time Air purchasers, is that they'll be getting Intel Haswell-based models at a cheaper price than the 2012 MacBook Airs. However, savvy buyers might want to wait until autumn to get their hands on a MacBook Air running Mavericks.

Despite the swings-and-roundabouts benchmarking results, the new MacBook Air is a definite and significant step up from last year's release. The battery life is little short of incredible. Business travellers taking long flights and students who need it all day for lectures and then throughout the evening for writing an essay will love its all-day power. The faster graphics and quicker storage do much to compensate for the slower processors, but we wish Apple had at least matched the 2012 MacBook Air's clock speeds.

The 2013 MacBook Air 13" is faster when running Windows 8 than it is under Apple's OS X Mountain Lion. It also keeps some of the computer's original advantages such as the sound quality and thin, lightweight chassis. On the other hand, the battery life gets nearly halved and the screen's colours become far less accurate.

Apple’s newest, most powerful, and most refined MacBook Air finally reaches that ‘all-day-playback’ milestone that is so crucial for a portable device. It’s got enough battery life to last a full day of video, or even longer if you’re just browsing the Web or working. For the student or professional it’s a brilliant machine.

Apple's Haswell-Powered 13-Inch MacBook Air
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
You can't look at what Apple was able to achieve with the current generation of MacBook Air products and not be impressed. From significantly improved graphics and file system performance, to dramatically longer battery life; you might say one of the top "Ultrabooks" on the market currently isn't actually an Ultrabook - it's a Mac.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch 2013: Windows struggles in Boot Camp
Source: Reg Hardware English Archive.org version
Could Apple shrink the Air and keep the screen size or notch it up an inch or more? A full HD Air, anyone? There’s probably a good reason for this ongoing big borders arrangement – rigidity, antennas and suchlike – but I think it’s time for Apple to show some design innovation again rather than simply adding the 802.11ac Wi-Fi and tweaking the latest Intel chippery.

Apple MacBook Air 13-inch 2013: All’s well that Haswell
Source: Reg Hardware English Archive.org version
The new Air is a nice machine, but it offers nothing you can’t get now, or get soon, from Haswell-powered Ultrabooks: decent performance and a long battery life. SATA Express and 802.11ac are both standards World+Dog will soon implement. In short, choosing a skinny laptop is now simply a matter of whether you want Mac OS X or not.

Source: T3 English Archive.org version
The latest 13-inch Apple MacBook Air is as slick as ever: thrillingly lightweight, gorgeous-looking and now offering both speedy performance and considerable battery life. This laptop will last you 12 hours of internet- enabled usage before needing a recharge. For the ultimate in portablilty, the 11-inch model still reigns, though battery life can’t match this laptop. And if you have last year’s model, you may also be tempted to upgrade by the super-fast recovery from standby which is way faster than the few seconds it used to be. Overall, this is fast, lightweight and, thanks to a £50 price drop, excellent value.

These days Apple doesn’t generally move in leaps and bounds; instead it offers incremental upgrades to its core line-up. It’s telling that the MacBook Air’s design has remained largely unchanged since its inception in 2008 - Cupertino obviously has confidence in the format, and it still feels luxurious and special, even against a whole bunch of new rivals.

The lack of Retina might be a bit of a letdown, but in every other regard the MacBook Air is in world-beating form. Intel’s Haswell processors and the newly turbo-charged SSD deliver a welcome performance bump, and battery life has skyrocketed. Die-hard Windows users may still be better off with one of the several excellent Ultrabooks or hybrids on the market – there’s no question that Windows 8 is at its best with a touchscreen – but if beautiful build, good performance and all-day endurance are more crucial to you, the Apple MacBook Air 13in ticks every box.

The 2013 MacBook Air 13 delivers what it promises: excellent battery life. As the MacBook Pro range became slimmer and more capable, not to mention introducing Retina resolution, some began to question the Air’s purpose in Apple’s range. We’ll certainly admit to being swayed by the high-pixel-density screens, though the knowledge that a Haswell upgrade is likely to come soon might delay us from buying one today.

However, in performance terms, it's comparable if-not-better than its heftier 13-inch MacBook Pro cousin. In short, we've come away thinking that the world's best laptop just got better. When OSX Mavericks is available for (a presumable) upgrade later in the year, introducing more portable iCloud features, it might make the decision for those teetering on the Windows 8/Mac fence much easier.

The 13-inch Air’s new $1,100 starting price undercuts competitors like the ASUS Zenbook X31A-DH71 and Acer Aspire S7, but it puts Apple in an uncomfortable position. For the first time in years, the company is selling based on price rather than quality. Even with the price cut, the Air’s inferior display and merely adequate hard drive capacity hinder its overall value.

The MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid 2013) is the system you want to be using if you need to deliver real work away from your desk. The fact that it can return such a long battery life while still using a mainstream processor is astonishing. Make no mistake, this simple score shows that laptops haven't conceded the battery life prizes to the mobile OS tablets yet. The MacBook Air 13 is close, but not quite perfect, since it lacks a built in HDMI-out port and the slower-clocked processor returns slower multimedia performance on benchmark tests than rivals. That said, due to its excellent battery life, portability, and its very good day-to-day performance, we have no qualms in giving the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid 2013) the Editors' Choice for ultraportable laptops.

The new 2013 versions of both the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air look very familiar indeed, as these slim systems have hardly changed at all physically over the past few generations.

Comment

Model:

There has never been more competition for the Apple MacBook Air line than there is now. But it is Apple's way to keep their designs standard for long periods of time, and thus, the Apple MacBook Air 13 inch 2013 MD760D/A looks almost exactly like the old version. With a weight of 1.35 kg, it remained slim and portable. One gripe about the design is the sharp edge where the palm rest is. Over time, this could lead to pain in the user's arms. It's the innards that got a makeover in the new Macbook Air 13. Latest Haswell architecture and better battery life are the highlights.

The basic configuration comes with the Intel Core i5 CPU, 128 GB Solid State Drive and 4 GB RAM. The graphics are handled by the integrated Intel HD 5000 IGP, which is good for most everyday tasks, aspiring gamers will have to stick to the lowest settings possible. Overall performance is good, and matches up to the competition in terms of specs. The glossy 16:10 display has a resolution of 1440x900 pixels. Those wanting Full HD or a touchscreen will have to take a look at the competitors. Battery life is where this machine pulls ahead of all the competition. This machine can easily last 6 hours of heavy use, which means that regular use will easily last a day. Overall, other than in the matter of battery life, the Apple MacBook Air 13 inch 2013 MD760D/A is falling to the back of the pack. The competition is ahead on some key areas, making this machine too expensive for what it offers.

Series: The original MacBook Air, “the world’s thinnest notebook” was introduced at the 2008 keynote by Apple’s former CEO Steve Jobs. Key advantages are thinness, durability, high quality display especially the input device when compare with other netbook at the time. However, it was also heavily criticized for lack of Optical Disc, only one USB port, not user-removable battery among other things. At that time, nobody knows that these disadvantages of the MacBook Air series would be the pinnacle of Intel’s concept for next generation notebooks which will be the newest trend for 2012.

In 2011, Apple has introduced the latest update of the MacBook Air Series, with Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge Series, which doubling the performance. Major advantages of the 2011 MacBook Air in our reviews are the light weight, outstanding, unrivalled design and robust build quality thanks to the aluminum case, very good backlit keyboard plus glass track pad, as well as a very good performance for a subnotebook. The 2011 MacBook Air still shares some of the original’s disadvantages like limited ports, heavily reflective display, non-upgradeable memory and non-user-removable battery. Still, the MacBook Air outclasses almost every other Ultrabook out there with its advantage, save only for Samsung’s newest Series 9 model. On average, the review-ratings are very good, which always assure a place in the top 3 Subnotebook of Notebookcheck.

Rumor has it that Apple will introduce the new MacBook Air within a month during Apple’s usual WWDC with Retina-display, USB 3.0 and Ivy-bridge processor, so stay tune for the newest update of the most popular Ultrabook from the tech giant in Cupertino.

Intel HD Graphics 5000:

ULV integrated GPU (GT3) with 40 EUs (no eDRAM) found on certain Haswell processors.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


4250U:

Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.3 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.6 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5000 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
