Although the display is gorgeous to look at the resolution is sub-par as most of their rivals noe feature full HD resolution. The display features a glossy finish and produces Apple’s trademark vibrant colors.


MacBook Air 13-inch comes with a 13.3-inch LED backlit display featuring a resolution of 1440 x 900 pixels. It lacks even some of the most common ports like HDMI or Ethernet ports which have become necessities in the minds of users. While that is a good start it also has some glaring omissions. Due to its slim design MacBook Air 13-inch comes with a limited number of ports but includes two USB 3.0 ports, an SDCS card reader, a Thunderbolt port, and headphone jack. The MacBook Air 13-inch only weighs 2.91 pounds but some of the competitors have managed devices even lighter than that. Some of the competitors like the Acer Aspire S and ATIV Book 9 Plus are only 0.51 inches and 0.54 inches thick, respectively. Having such a slim design was once considered an achievement but has become fairly standard now-a-days. The unibody design is made from aluminum and, at just 0.68 inches thick, it is still very slim. If placed side by side it is difficult to identify which is which. The latest MacBook Air 13-inch is almost identical to its predecessors on the outside it is literally the same as last year’s model. With MacBook Air, Apple is still continuing the same unibody design it first introduced in 2010.
