Sandy Bridge however should have changed this. The problem was that its slow processor rapidly became clear as soon as you started running games or editing software. The previous 2010 offering, the 13 inch in particular, wasn't exactly slow for day to day computing. The introduction of Sandy Bridge processors means a major speed hike, likely making the new Apple ultra portables useable for more processor intensive tasks. This is where the most major technical leap occurs between the 20 models.

The 2011 model brings little change in the display department, with things very much the same as last years. The ultra-bright LED backlit display is pretty difficult to improve on, being one of the absolute best laptop screens out there for viewing angles and colour saturation. Somewhat bizarrely, the 13.3 inch MacBook Air actually boasts a higher screen resolution than its more expensive MacBook Pro cousin. There is however the added bonus of an ambient light sensing backlit keyboard with the 2011 offering, meaning easier typing in dark situations, plus it just looks cooler. Both the 20 models are unbelievably lightweight and portable and feature the same form factor. The laptop, despite being immensely strong, is so close to a piece of paper in thickness, that it feels like you could snap it with one finger. The first time you pick up a MacBook Air it is difficult to ignore just how thin the thing is.
