How fast is this flash? The 13-inch Air turned in a rate of 78.3 MBps in our transfer test, way above the average of 26.5 MBps but behind the dual-SSD packing VAIO Z (108 MBps).įor a final performance test, we transcoded an 720p MPEG-4 video clip of a little less than 6 minutes in length for playback on the iPhone using Handbrake. Because the Air uses flash memory and not a mechanical hard drive, it wakes from sleep instantly and cold boots in under 15 seconds, compared with 3 and 37 seconds, respectively for the Pro. In other ways, though, the 13-inch Air feels more responsive than the 13-inch Pro. That's considerably better than the 11-inch Air's 2,159, but 710 points behind the 13-inch MacBook Pro (3,686). In the Geekbench benchmark, which measures processor and memory performance, the 13-inch MacBook Air notched 2,976. Both the 11-inch Air and 13-inch Pro share the same graphics, but the Air packs a slower 1.4-GHz CPU while the Pro pairs a faster 2.4-GHz CPU with 4GB of RAM. Our configuration came with a 1.86-GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics, and 128GB of flash memory. The setup process itself was fairly straightforward, though all you have to do is enter your Apple ID and password to get started.Ĭlick to enlargeThe 13-inch MacBook Air doesn't have as much muscle as the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but it definitely has more pep than the 11-inch Air. We just wish it were easier to add contacts, and that the software walked you through this process. The video on our screen looked a bit grainy, but the video coming from the iPhone 4 had good color saturation and detail. We used an iPhone 4, but FaceTime is also compatible with the iPod touch.

Once you download the new FaceTime beta application for Mac on the 13-inch MacBook Air, you can make FaceTime calls with other iOS devices.
The notebook was loud enough to fill a medium-size office, though we noticed that some tinniness at the max setting. Whether we were cranking The Kooks' "Naive" on Slacker or watching that Glee episode, the stereo speakers underneath the keyboard provided plenty of volume. Despite its glossy treatment, we weren't bothered by glare while working on a moving bus. Just as important, the Air's LED-backlit display is one of the brightest we've seen in this size, making an episode of Glee on Fox.com pop. This lets you see more of web pages and other documents without having to scroll.
