Ports remain unchanged from last year’s MacBook Air, typical of any Apple product released in the same series. This is expected as its Intel Core-i5 processor requires a fan for cooling, while the two models mentioned above use Intel Core M processors that don’t require active cooling. However, it sacrifices I/O ports in favor of shaving off a few millimeters. It is smaller and lighter than other ultraportables like the ASUS Zenbook UX305FA and the HP EliteBook Folio 1020, although those two are slimmer.

For regular commuters, the 11-inch MacBook Air is a wonderful machine for you, and it deserves a spot on your shortlist if you’re always on the move for business or even research. It compensates for the few rough edges with an Intel Core i5 processor which means that the system can breeze through tasks that would otherwise slow an Intel-Core-M-equipped system, and on top, it adds up to 11.5 hours of battery life.

In the past we’ve seen Core-M ultrabooks claim to be ultraportable as they become thinner and thinner, but the Apple MacBook Air 11 inches (MJVM2LL/A model) redefines the entire fuss we’ve been hearing about ultraportability.
