The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is an exceptional hybrid PC with very powerful specs - something that can be easily compared to some of the latest ultrabooks out these days, and the Xbox maker badly wants to make this clear to everyone out there. In its latest bid, Microsoft has compared its potent spec’d device to Apple's MacBook Air, but with a Christmas theme this time around as the holiday shopping season inches near.
Apple has yet another big media event scheduled for later on this week, and just as was the case in the run-up to last month's shenanigans, tech fans and commentators are rummaging around for evidence of what might be showcased in three days' time.
Apple has launched a new ad for its ever-popular MacBook Air, but it's not quite like the ads that came before it.
When Apple quietly refreshed its MacBook Air lineup last week it not only increased the speed of its low-end model's processor from 1.3GHz to 1.4GHz. While no doubt an improvement - we're always happy to get more horsepower in our machines - possibly the most important change is the fact that the model now also comes with a price tag that's $100 lower than it was previously. If you were on the fence about picking up a MacBook Air then there's never been a better time to do just that.
It was just yesterday when we got a glimpse of the updated 2014 MacBook Air specs, and today, as expected, said updates are upon us. And we have all the details right here.
Last week it was revealed that the MacBook Air range would almost certainly be afforded a rudimentary refresh, including possible processor enhancement among a series of other minor tweaks. It is believed that said 2014 MacBook Air upgrade will arrive on Tuesday, and on the eve of the roll-out, a leaked shot appears to confirm all of the key details.
Apple is famed across the land for making beautiful products with a premium look and feel. The iPhone and iPad range are beautifully put together and instantly stand head and shoulders above the competition in that respect. Accessories like the Time Machine, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad have clearly had a lot of design research applied to them. Even the Apple TV is beautiful in its own simplistic kind of way. That leads us nicely onto the company's range of Mac computers. The MacBook and iMac are stunning to look at, but what if we had the option to purchase a sleek and mysterious looking black version of the MacBook Air?
The MacBook Air is arguably Apple's best portable computer. It's thin, it's light and it's powerful enough for the vast majority of people to do everything they could ever want to. But it's lacking one thing, and it's the one thing that people want enough to upgrade to a MacBook Pro for, and that's the Retina display.
OS X Mavericks, Apple's newly-released update to its famed desktop operating system, may not offer a mind-boggling set of new features and improvements to the naked eye, but in actual fact, the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air notebooks both look set to reap the benefits of extended battery life.
Apple has just released an updated lineup of the MacBook Air with bumped up specs, more details can be found right after the break.
