Dell XPS 13 vs. MacBook Air: A closer look at battery life
Source: PC World English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
After trying to wrangle cross-platform battery testing and seeing how many variables can go into the tests, I've decided that the best we can say is battery life on X platform is better for Y task. So, I can say quite comfortably that playing 1080p MKV files using VLC, the XPS 13 gives you better battery life.

Which Mac laptop? MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro comparative review
Source: Macworld.co.uk English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
In 2013, when Apple reduced the price of the MacBook Pro with Retina display range, we stopped recommending the 13-inch MacBook Air on the basis that there was only £150 difference in price. As Apple has continued to drop prices we are still looking at just a £150 difference between the two ranges at the entry level. It's great to see Apple reducing prices across its MacBook ranges, but the lower prices of the MacBook Pro Retina range do have the effect of making the MacBook Air look less attractive in comparison. However, we still love the MacBook Air, which is lighter and thinner, although a fraction bigger than the MacBook Pro with Retina display. If it's the MacBook Air that you have your heart set on, you can't go wrong with it, but if you have a little more in your budget, then consider the MacBook Pro with Retina display because it's a really good deal in comparison.

Surface Pro 3 vs MacBook Air head-to-head review
Source: V3.co.uk English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Featuring a better display, upgradable storage and an advanced Surface Pen digital stylus, the Surface Pro 3 is the winner of this vs review. However, having matched the Surface Pro 3 in performance and battery life, and featuring a more user-friendly laptop design, the MacBook Air definitely gave Microsoft's latest hybrid a run for its money and still is a significantly better choice for users more familiar with Apple's platform.

80% Apple MacBook Air 11in (2014) review
Source: Stuff TV English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Even Apple's cheapest laptop is head and shoulders above most of its competitors, and in terms of build, battery life and usability the MacBook Air 11 is an all-round winner. It's also that most unusual of items: an Apple product which represents good value for money. That screen is really starting to show its age, though, so fingers crossed that Apple brings out an Air with Retina Display soon.

83% Apple's 11-inch MacBook Air laptop cuts price, boosts performance
Source: CNet English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The 2014 MacBook Air, like the largely similar 2013 version, is all about battery life and portability. This 11-inch laptop, nearly the size of an iPad, now lasts almost as long as one, too. It could tip the balance in favor of the 11 for some. For others, though, an iPad plus keyboard might have replaced this already.

Surface Pro 3 vs MacBook Air comparison: Microsoft's new tablet is impressive, but can it really replace your laptop?
Source: Macworld.co.uk English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Overall, we take our hats off to Microsoft for its Surface Pro 3. It really does have specs that rival the MacBook Air and portability that brings it closer to competing tablets. But when it actually comes to using the Surface Pro 3 as a laptop, it's not the most comfortable of activities. We find the MacBook Air wonderful to work on for long periods of time, and with that lengthy battery life it's more suitable for full-day use.

90% Apple MacBook Air
Source: Computer Shopper English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The 2014 11-inch MacBook Air aptly demonstrates the truth of the age-old aphorism, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Last year's $999 model delivered spectacular battery life, solid performance, and a truly outstanding keyboard and touch pad—all packaged in a sleek aluminum chassis—for a price comparable to most Windows-based ultrabooks.

75% Apple MacBook Air 11-inch (2014) Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
This is a niche device, suitable for Apple users that need both portability and power. While it’s tempting to compare it to other Ultrabooks, it actually has a lot in common with the Surface Pro 2, which has very similar specs and is built for a very specific type of Windows user. For the platform agnostic looking for thin, light, and powerful, the MacBook Air is certainly worth considering. Its “acceptable” display and other drawbacks make it tough to outright recommend over any and all competition.

100% 11in MacBook Air review, Apple's MacBook Air 2014 reviewed
Source: Macworld.co.uk English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
With its lower price the 2014 11in MacBook Air is a great purchase. If you want the lightest laptop available there is no need to sacrifice power - the 11in MacBook Air is just as good as the 13in model. Unfortunately in some areas this year's model isn't quite as good as last year's model - the flash storage seems to be slower than it was in 2013. If you can get a discounted 11in 2013 MacBook Air from the Apple refurb store, it is still be worth considering as an alternative to the 2014 Mac Air model.

Review: 2014 MacBook Air (11-in)
Source: Gizmag English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
If you already own the mid-2013 MacBook Air, then there's really no reason to consider this new model. The speed differences are far too subtle for you to even consider upgrading. And if you can find last year's model on the cheap, then I'd also recommend going that route. Save the money, and enjoy your shiny new 99 percent as good as this year's model MacBook Air.

这个屏幕尺寸对于平板来说略大,而对亚笔记本来说稍小。一些变形本采用了这个尺寸的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
