Reviews for the Apple MacBook Air 13.3" 1.8 GHz (2017)

85.5% Apple MacBook Air 13 2017 笔记本电脑 (1.8 GHz) 简短评测 | Notebookcheck
老骥伏枥。 可能有些难以置信,不过Apple的MacBook Air 13(一体式铝合金机身设计,1.35千克,17毫米厚,13.3寸,1440x900像素分辨率屏幕)已经有7年的历史了。它一度走在超极本的最前沿,但现在更像是广受敬爱的老爷爷了。
Stop Buying the MacBook Air

The number one selling laptop on Amazon is currently the MacBook Air… from 2017. Guys, I know the logo is pretty, but please stop buying it.

80% MacBook Air review: is this a better choice than the smaller MacBook?
Source: T3 English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The MacBook Air is unexciting and not as fashionable as it once was, but its excellent battery life, decent performance and good selection of ports make it worthy of your consideration for another year... just about.

80% Apple MacBook Air 13in (mid-2017) review: has Apple changed enough to stay on top?
Source: It Pro English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The 2017 upgrades to the MacBook Air are minor, so if you're looking for Apple to completely overhaul this device you may be a little disappointed. While the rest of the recipe is great, we're still underwhelmed by the screen and it's an area that could definitely do with a bit of attention.

Apple's 13-inch MacBook Air now comes with much faster storage, better battery life and slightly improved performance in other areas. On the other hand, its display and design are beyond dated.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro is the best-designed laptop in the world, without question. Just consider whether you’re willing to pay for it.

The MacBook Air may be going gray (well, silver) as it ages, but we still love its long battery life, solid performance and safety-first MagSafe 2 power port. You also don't have to worry about schlepping any dongles to plug in peripherals. Two downsides, however, are that its display is stuck in the past decade, and it's up to a pound heavier than competitors.

The 13-inch MacBook Air is Apple’s entry-level laptop, starting at £949 (US$999). It might lack the super-sharp Retina screen of the Macbook and MacBook Pro models but its display and performance is fine for most everyday uses. It boasts enough USB ports and other slots to make it more useful out of the box than the more limited, USB-C-only 12-inch MacBook or Pro. And its Wi-Fi is the same high standard as even the top-of-the-range MacBook Pro. If you need raw power go for the Pro. If you need the smallest Mac laptop there is, look at the 12-inch MacBook. But, all in all, despite it not changing much year after year we still love the MacBook Air for its design, price, size and features.

The MacBook Air remains a fine piece of computing hardware, and there's a reason or ten that it has stuck around as long as it has. But unless you're dead-set on sticking to macOS, better options are available in this price range. And if you are a Mac die-hard and looking for an extremely light laptop, don't dismiss the impressive 2-pound Apple MacBook (2017)$1,299.00 at Apple Store. If anything, that current-generation MacBook, as well as the latest 13-inch MacBook Pros, feel more solid and well-built than the MacBook Air. If you aren't put off by their $300-higher starting prices, they may be worth paying more for, if you can get used to the keyboards and having only USB Type-C at your fingertips.

The MacBook Air remains an excellent ultraportable choice for students and other macOS fans with basic computing needs, but despite killer battery life, it will disappoint power users with its low-resolution display and outdated processor.

MacBook Air finally gets a touchscreen, no thanks to Apple

You can preorder the AirBar for the 13-inch MacBook Air on the company's website, and it will soon be available through Amazon for $99. There's no planned international release yet, but that works out to roughly £75 or AU$130. The Windows version is already available for around $80.

大体上,这个屏幕尺寸常见于亚笔记本电脑,超极本和变形本中。对这三类产品来说这个尺寸都较大。亚笔记本中尺寸最大的机型是采用这个屏幕尺寸。

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。
