#Macbook 11 inch charger upgrade#

Swap someone's 2013 MacBook Air with the newer 2014 model and he or she will never know the difference. With tablets offering excellent battery life and supremely portable forms versus a laptop's subpar battery life, why not just get things done on a tablet instead? Both the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Airs are still universally useful laptops that are largely frustration-free, but that also lack some of the latest bells and whistles (edge-to-edge glass, touch screens, higher display resolutions) you may be looking for. Balancing out those two factors, our rating remains the same, and the remainder of this review is essentially unchanged from the 2013 version.

While the lower price is a plus, the lack of significant performance improvement and the static physical design remind us that the Air is overdue for a more radical overhaul. Instead, the price cut is the big news here, making this an even more viable option for midprice laptop shoppers.

(Some have seen different results, owing to Apple using SSDs from multiple manufacturers in Airs, but our tests all fall in line with expectations from this small CPU uptick.) There's certainly no reason to upgrade if you have last year's MacBook Air. We've tested the new 2014 versions of both the 11-inch and 13-inch Airs, and found their performance to be slightly improved.
