However, one thing Apple has perfected on the Air is its keyboard and touchpad combination. While it would be nice if there was a higher-resolution display offered, it would also likely drive up the price. Still, with both the new Airs, you don't get the ultra crisp screens found on Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display models or Google's Chromebook Pixel. The 13.3-inch version, however, while not as compact, has a higher 1440x900-resolution screen, a few extra ports (including an SD card reader) and longer battery life - a point I'll come back to soon. The small 0.11-inch to 0.68-inch thick laptop can easily be held in one hand and easily fits in an averaged sized purse. The 11.6-inch version, which I have been testing for the last two weeks, is, well, adorable. As every other company in the industry continues to ape the ultrathin, unibody aluminum aesthetic with their own slender ultrabooks, Apple's four-year-old design still leads. The exteriors of the laptops are indistinguishable from the previous versions. The new MacBook Airs could be put on a police lineup with the old MacBook Airs and not even the best detective would be able to tell them apart. No, the new Airs aren't drastically different - at least not to the naked eye - but the small changes go a long way.
